Kasey Lewis
Vice President, Treasurer

Kasey started on dirt bikes when he was teenager, promptly broke his leg and that was the end of bikes for a long time.  In 2007 he got his first sport bike, which turned into his first race bike in 2010.  Kasey spent a few years at track days enjoying the sport, and was prompted by the Napiers into trying out a race weekend. One race weekend and he knew this was the sport for him. Kasey started his license process in 2010, and ran full seasons from 2012 to 2020.  He enjoys endurance racing on both big bikes and little bikes, but sprinting is still his passion.   Kasey enjoys coaching when possible, either with 3:16 or on private member days, it’s a good way to give back the sport.

Bobby Davies
Board Member

Bobby Davies bought his first Motorcycle when he was 19. He always had the passion for racing it didn't matter what it was. Bobby Started off at the Drag strip where he found out the the R6 was definitely not a straight line bike. In 2010 he did his first track day then learned about the CMRA from some of the instructors. Instantly he got addicted and got his pro-versional novice taken care of at the end of 2010. Bobby won multiple championships the following year as a novice. Bobby has been racing ever since and is currently an expert with his Stock 1000 MotoAmerica license. He does his best to try and give back by Coaching and helping out as much as he can with organizations like 3:16 track days, sport rider coaching and private events. My number is (830) 931-7354 you can call or text.

Kendra Kinnison
Board Member

Kendra had been fascinated with motorcycles since her teenage years, but she didn't learn to ride until she was nearly 40. Soon after, she discovered racetracks and CMRA, and has rarely missed a round since. Legal projects from Hurricane Harvey have kept her mostly in the pits for the last couple years, and she's looking forward to when that's resolved. With Team Irie, she's mostly focused on Endurance Racing.

Keith VonHertell
Board Member

Keith Hertell has been at race tracks since he was an infant. Both parents were avid drag racers.

His father then went on to road race mini coopers and Formula Ford in the late 60's early 70's, then restored high end sports cars in the 80's.

He liked motorcycles more than cars so he started drag racing them at 15 years old. After getting out of the Navy he then decided to roadrace motorcycles. 

He joined the CMRA in 1997 and became Expert in 1998. He was on the BOD from 2000-2003 where there were huge changes within the CMRA to make CMRA a more professional organization. He feels a simple, easy to understand rules package that keeps costs down will ensure the longevity of competition among the CMRA membership and help grow the sport of motorcycle roadracing in the US and Texas.

Joe Spann
Marshal Coordinator / Chaplain
Joe's dad started taking him to car races when he was 14, about the time his friends started getting into motorcycles. So he tricked his parents into letting him get a bike. He got a job at a local bike shop that was into racing and that cemented it. Flat tracking was the local form of motorcycle racing, so that's what he started doing. He was exposed to roadracing much later, and enjoyed it enough to get involved as a chaplain.
