DAYTONA
BEACH, Fla.
(February 23, 2023) – GOMR
(Grumpy Old Men
Racing) is
excited to announce
its return to Mission
SuperTwins presented
by S&S Cycle competition,
fielding Billy
“The Kid” Ross aboard
an Indian FTR750.
Johnny and Sarah
Goad will again be
at the helm of the
team with Tom Draina
and Buddy Pulliam
onboard as crew
members, while Russ
and Ilene Briggs
continue to provide
the resources.
Ross made his
much-anticipated Progressive
American Flat Track debut
in 2021 in the Parts
Unlimited AFT
Singles presented by
KICKER category.
After showing
flashes of his
ability as a rookie,
Ross stepped up to Mission
Production Twins duty
a year ago and truly
came into his own.
He finished fourth
in the final
championship
standings,
highlighted by his
maiden professional
win at the
Laconia ST, followed
by another podium
effort the next time
out at the Lima
Half-Mile.
Ross said, “I’m
super excited to
start this year. I
have been training
hard this offseason
to be fully
prepared. Johnny
Goad and the entire
GOMR team have been
great to work with,
and I’m looking
forward to the
season opener.”
Sarah Goad said,
“Billy has a will to
win and puts forth
the effort both on
and off the track to
accomplish the high
goals he has set for
himself. It is
refreshing to work
with someone who is
always prepared and
responsive. He
approaches his
racing both as a
professional athlete
and a businessman.
We see this as a key
element in team
chemistry and are
confident in the
combined talents of
the team. With
Johnny’s years of
experience and
Billy’s work ethic
it should make for
an exciting
combination. All
this being said, we
are looking forward
to having fun.”
Johnny Goad said,
“The team’s goal for
2023 is to improve
each weekend with
the ultimate goal of
scoring a podium
finish.”

continue its
long-term
