Team Skippy Racing
In 2016 Peter Booth traded a bottle of Maker’s Mark Kentucky bourbon for a barn-find 1969 Suzuki T500 Titan. In 2017 he campaigned a cobbled-together version of the race bike with the USCRA. That summer he met Ken Lavallee, a two stroke mastermind with experience modifying the Suzuki motor, and Team Skippy Racing USA was born. Since that time TSR-USA has won countless races and many class championships with the USCRA on what has been called one of the fastest Titans in the world today.
