About motorsports competition, Mizdal says, “I can’t describe what it means to work this hard, to try your hardest, then you beat a certain amount of guys with what you’ve got. There’s nothing else like it.” Mizdal retired from active racing recently and now utilizes his expertise at crafting engines and building bikes for other riders. His motorcycle engines are so popular that racers come from far and wide, from all types of motorcycle competition, to order them. His Glendora California-based M Racing Performance shop offers trackside coaching, suspension set-up and performance tuning to customers who race. Mizdal and M Racing also have a special dedication to encouraging young street racers off the roads and onto race tracks “where their performance tuned machinery can truly be appreciated.” A former instructor for the STAR racing school, Mizdal is presently mentoring the racing career of M Racing’s newest expert rider Wes Kane.
