8 Fueled-by-Passion

Meet Jimmy Messina, a seasoned rider hailing from Parma, Ohio, who's been making his mark in the racing world.

Jimmy takes on the race track with his 2011 Road King in the Street ET class. He's a valued member of two racing teams - Iron Horse Racing and Perry Paugh Racing. These teams are made possible with the support of his sponsors, including Drag Specialties, R1Z, DP Brakes, and Wiseco Pistons.

Jimmy's journey into racing spans several decades. He's been involved in motorsports since he was young, with experience ranging from Doorslammers to Top Alcohol Funny Cars. In the late '90s, he was part of a team that raced a Top Fuel Harley, with the renowned Perry Paugh as the rider.

For Jimmy, racing is a lifelong passion that's always been part of his DNA. He was drawn to the track from a young age, and it's a calling he's never been able to ignore. The adrenaline rush and need for speed keep him coming back for more.

Beyond the race track, Jimmy's life is diverse and filled with various interests. He owns Iron Horse Cycles, a bike shop in Brook Park, Ohio, where he specializes in building high-performance motorcycles. He also enjoys vacations, spending quality time with friends and family, and savoring the simple pleasures of life.

Jimmy Messina's story showcases the enduring power of racing and the impact it can have on a person's life. With three years of racing experience and a lifetime of motorsport involvement, he invites fellow enthusiasts to join him on this exciting journey, where the thrill of speed knows no limits.
