 Leslie P. Crierie Bio
Leslie P. Crierie, a current executive for a Washington, DC based elevator company, has a unique and diversified history in all aspects of motor-sports. A partnership for over two decades, within the exotic car restoration and custom machining business provided massive exposure to numerous automotive venues. Including vintage, historic, SCCA, and drag racing to name a few.
Although business evolved around four wheels, Les’s true love of motorcycling, was always lurking in the background. This can be attributed to his early teen years of dirt bike riding, bounding the streets on Kawasaki KZ’s, and drag racing in the early 70’s. His love of speed on two wheels could not be stifled.
 
Thirty six years of super bike riding, and his desire to experience the upper limits of speed, prompted his participation with the East Coast Timing Association (ECTA). This venue, allows Les to truly experience the limits of man and machine. His latest project, a turbocharged Kawasaki ZX-14, provides Les the avenue for regularly reaching over 200 MPH speeds.
Although, still striving for the record range for his classification, he's continually sharpening his technique. He'll do what it takes to get the horsepower to the ground and get the job done.
