About Us

Who We Are

We know our stuff &
love what we do

We run two Methanol drag bikes and a 3rd on the way. We’re at the forefront of minibike racing and plan to stay here for a while. How much power can we make?

How’d we get here?

At one time, SRS was under a different name and only services lawnmowers and the like. Then COVID happened. Like clockwork, 2 weeks go by and kids at home pull out minibikes and go-karts out of their garages – parents wanted them OUT of the house.

Next thing I know, due to the kids’ performance demands, I started repairing and modifying the minibikes. As a racer myself, I was hooked!

SRS was built on a passion for engines and racing, and it’s our passion that’ll lead YOU to greatness!

Owner & Mechanic

I’ve been a mechanic for more than 40 years, starting with taking apart the family mower at a young age to see how it worked. I was a motorcycle mechanic on Harleys and Others in my teen years and then joined the Air Force and for 4 years was an Internal fuel system mechanic on the F-16 fighter jet. After service I actively worked as a mechanic on many different types of engines, but always loved the single and twin cyl. pushrod motors and extracting as much power out of them as possible

Race Winner

As of writing this, it’s a big bore / stroker smallblock Tillotson running Torco methanol plus fuel through a Lectron carb and a pressurized tunable wet system Nitrous setup designed by SRS specially for small displacement engines. On the Gapplesause we push the limits. In the 1/4 mile the speed is in excess of 100mph-which is why we only run the 660 feet 1/8 mile now. The speed in the 1/8 mile and horsepower ratings are secret..and always changing. At the current time – nobody wants to race this bike, as its never lost yet. looking forward to racing it again this season.

Head of Security

An 8 year old rescue from the Apache Junction pound. Mike and his wife have had her about 5 years and she is daddy’s little girl; she gets spoiled rotten and as you can see by the pic, she has attitude. She comes to work now and then and loves to meet everybody.

Winning Bike

Gapplesauces younger, but just as powerful, brother. Has a 70mm Predator engine with an SRS welded and ported big valve head, and a few extra tricks kept secret. This bike runs Torco methanol plus also. This was Mike’s Grandsons winning bike until he had a major accident at over 70mph that put him in the hospital for 2 days and gave him some lifetime scars to remember it by. So now Mike and his son, Ross, jockey the bike, We’ll see how this year goes.

With the big online stores, there are less and less shops like this around. For small engines and motors, SRS knows their stuff. You could probably find the same part online, but at SRS, you can get it, and get info on how to install. They also do repairs.

I took my Toro walk behind lawnmower to two different "handymen" and then to my local Home Depot 3 times. The only one who could diagnose the problem and fix it was Pro Landscapers. Thank you Pro Landscapers!!!

Went in to pick up some parts. lady at front counter was very helpful in finding right parts (I fix my Mclane's myself), and mechanic came out to talk to me about the specific carb I had & what could be done with it. 2nd time there a few weeks later to get some other parts for another mower, same thing- mech took the time to explain to me why i didn't want to buy a cut off switch to replace my broken one- as the price was 43 bucks - told me they use to be 8, then Briggs & Stratton raised the price- helped me find a used one for alot less. I'll be back & use them when I can't get something done myself.

This is a rare breed in today's world! I was having trouble with my gas-powered power washer leaking a gray sludge. Mike knew what the problem was instantly and replaced the pump for me in about a week. He fixes all types of small engines, and I would not hesitate to take my lawnmower or blower there for service. It's a wonderful thing that Mike does this kind of work and provides a great service to the community.

10!STARS Mike is the best in town. Very knowledgeable on what was wrong with my Minibike. His prices are more than fair and the service is top-notch. Next week, I’ll bring my son’s bike here so he can tune it up and get it running perfect! Thank you so much!
