MotorDrone Racing

Roger Leininger and Ryan Krafft started endurance racing in 2000, we formed MotorDrone Racing and took on the Fastraxx Endurance Series. We were able to capture 2 middleweight championships in 2001 and 2002 on a Wiseco powered GSXR 600. After Ryan suffered an unrelated injury in 2002, we walked away from racing for years. Fast forward to 2018, Ryan gave racing another shot. After having a successful return that year and meeting the now co-owner to MotorDrone Racing(Kyle), Ryan and Kyle wanted to get back into the endurance series for additional seat time. In 2020 they took on the WERA/N2 National Endurance Series with a very well handling, but very underpowered 2007 Suzuki GSX-R 600. They recruited a few regional riders and a support crew and went racing. The TEAM exceeded expectations putting the bike on the podium twice and finished in second place overall in the middleweight class. The following season Ryan and Roger reunited, and through a series of conversations with the Wiseco CEO, they brought the MotorDrone Endurance bike in to Wiseco's R&D department for a full powersports build. The bike was rebuilt from the ground up, with all new motor internals,suspension,electronics and a fresh paint job. Coming into the 2021 season, the rumors in the race community got out that MotorDrone had partnered up with a few "heavy weights" in the powersport world and built a bike together. Well... we did, and we proved to the the rest of the WERA/N2 series, that MotorDrone was going to be a force to be reckoned with for many years to come. Year over year now, we have been a consistent top 5 finisher. Each season this team has overcome adversity and come back better, stronger and ready for that next challenge. Heading into 2024 we are being looked at as one of the most competitive teams in the series and are favored in the middleweight championship.
