Gregg Lynk is a veteran of the sport of motocross, and like most of us, found his passion for the sport at a very young age. As the story goes, for so many of us, riding becomes racing and racing becomes a way of life. Gregg lived each day in search of the next race, the next hole shot, and the next win.

Gregg raced his way through his teens until the age of 20 when other desires began to take over. Maintenance is a necessity that all races must accept but for Gregg, tuning motocross bikes became an obsession.

Gregg Lynk’s mechanical pedigree is extensive to say the least. Over the past few decades, Gregg has helped nurture many racers into champions. It all started in 1993 when Gregg was hired to help Greg Rand and his campaign at Loretta Lynn’s. That year Rand walked away with three National Titles in the 125A, 250A, and International Class on a Suzuki. In 1995, Gregg moved back home to Vermont to work with local pro Chad Shepard. Chad and Gregg worked hard for the results they earned, and to this day, Gregg credits that year for helping him to develop his work ethic.

That work ethic paid off in 1997 when Billy Whitley of Suzuki-backed”Primal Impulse” team, called Gregg to work as the Race Shop Manager and Suspension Technician in California where he learned from suspension master Rob Henrickson of RG3 Suspensions. he also had the pleasure of learning engine tuning from Jeff Springman of Bill’s Pipes and applies these skills to every bike he touches.

In 2000, Gregg guided Brandon Jesseman and his Suzuki RM 125 to 6th place in the East Coast 125 Supercross Series and to 11th in the AMA 125 Motocross Nationals.

2001 was a milestone year for Gregg as he went to work for the “Budmand”. Buddy Antunez gave Gregg his first taste of the high-energy Arenacross Series with 28 main event wins and the National Championship. Together Buddy and Gregg earned 100 Arenacross wins, which is still a record to this day.

When Buddy went to compete in Supercross in 2002, Gregg stayed with Suzuki and race Rusty Holland. Rusty finished the Arenacross Series in 5th. This was to be the last year that Gregg worked with Billy Whitley, but over the 5 years preceding, Gregg obtained the knowledge necessary to run a successful and professional program. 

The knowledge carried over to Gregg’s work as both a mechanic and a team manager for BBS Racing and 2004’s FBC Honda Team. He worked as the management with one of the most successful Arenacross teams in history as well as with Eli Tomac. Gregg went back with American Suzuki for the 05′-06′ Boo Koo Arenacross Series as the team manager for the Suzuki, Fun Center, TLD, PPG Race Team.
