COMPANY HISTORY
One time desert-racing pro and motor-tuning specialist
Mitch Payton founded Pro Circuit in 1978 at the
age of 18. Early Pro Circuit pipe customers were
mostly Husqvarna-mounted desert racers and motocrossers
who wanted Mitch to provide the same speed set-ups
that he and his father had learned to dial in on
Mitch's personal race machines. Word regarding the
success of Mitch's motor-building skills traveled
quickly around southern California racetracks and
in no time the cult of Pro Circuit motorcycle exhaust
riders was formed. Mitch closed his family's Husqvarna
dealership in 1980 to focus his energy on the shop's
aftermarket hop-hop service business full-time.
After
perfecting his skills in the black arts of cylinder
porting and polishing, Mitch and his small-but-elite
team of speed specialists focused their collective
energy on other bike parts and other brands. Custom-tuned
exhaust pipes were the first Pro Circuit exhaust
system high-performance accessory to roll out of
Mitch's cluttered speed shop, followed by racing
silencers. Pro Circuit pipe business was brisk,
and pretty soon every PC-equipped racer was requesting
PC performance modifications for other parts of
their bike. Pro Circuit obliged by opening a suspension
shop and expanding the available line of Pro Circuit
motorcycle exhaust systems and motor accessories
for different bike brands. With so many Honda-,
Kawasaki-, Yamaha- and Suzuki-mounted racers across
the nation running Pro Circuit equipment, it didn't
take long for the PC brand to start racking up championships.
Pro Circuit's phenomenal racing success rekindled
Mitch's competitive fires, so in early 1990 he set
Pro Circuit's sights on the holy grail in off-road
racing: winning a national motocross championship.
But doing so would mean challenging the Big Four
at their own game and would require a serious financing.
To make this goal a reality, Mitch borrowed a strategy
from the auto-racing game-securing a corporate sponsor.
By doing this, Mitch changed the way motocross teams
would be financed and packaged forever.
