LuckyLucky Nichols, Owner

“I threw my leg over a motorcycle for the first time in 1965, and was hooked.  Tuned my first race bike in 1968 and got hooked again. Went to work in the motorcycle industry in 1970 and was a partner in a Suzuki dealership by 1972.  Raced professional flat track  from 1972 to 1975 earning a top 100 number in the junior ranks before hanging up my steel shoe (which I still have) and starting LCS Racing in 1976.

From 1976 to 2004, LCS Racing earned the reputation of a quality high-performance company winning championships in just about any, and every, kind of motorcycle, go-cart, Odyssey, mini sprint car, and boat racing in the United States and Europe.  In 2004, I closed down the retail  operations of LCS to the general public and relocated all of the high-performance equipment to the new race shop of Holigan Walters Racing.  Oh, and the bonus was that there were about ten guys with cameras and microphones running around trying to catch you screwing something up!

I had my hands full as head of R&D, track  maintenance, grounds keeper, law enforcement liaison, team manager, and king pin heavy in the reality based TV show THE REALITY OF SPEED.  It was an experience I wouldn’t trade for.  But as the  2006 season was coming to an end, I was ready for a break from the 30  plus weeks of five day weekends, and seven day work weeks from the past three years.  So the decision was made to remove my equipment and leave  the team.  After taking a few months off and regrouping, I reopened LCS Racing with all the latest and coolest state-of-the-art technology.”

Ben Schmitt, Shop Technician

Ben joined LCS in March 2011. After senior mechanic Billy Bell’s departure in October, 2010, we were definitely feeling short-handed when the racing season kicked off.  Ben is 20 years old, he grew up working on drag cars and hot rods.  In his spare time, Ben likes to ride his dirt bike with friends, and this is his second season to race TCCRA.

“Lucky is a mathematical genius.  The numbers that go through his head on a daily basis is mind boggling.  If Lucky isn't 100% sure about something, he does whatever it takes to make it right.  If that means going four hours out of his way to fix it, then that's what he does.  It’s not just a job to him, it’s a lifestyle.  I like working at LCS because I love to work with my hands, I like to learn new things, and it’s not the same work everyday.  There's nothing better than building a bike and then hearing it run and making the customer happy.  If there is anything I would like to accomplish while working at LCS, I think it would be to learn how to be the best mechanic that I could possibly be and to have fun while I'm doing it.  Lucky is one of the few people I look up to and he has already taught me many things.  I can't wait to see what's in store for me in the near future.”

Valerie Baker, Office Manager

You will find Valerie at the LCS shop just about every afternoon because she spends the other part of her day as a personal assistant to a retired corporate executive.  With over 25 years of administrative and managerial experience, Valerie is highly qualified to manage the LCS  office.  Valerie takes care of all of the paperwork and creative projects in the shop and overall shop organization.  “Organization can often be a challenge with three guys who would rather be working on, looking at, talking about, or riding motorcycles.”

Valerie and Lucky were married in October 2010. She has three children, Wes (wife, Esmie), Shannon, and Shane, and three grandchildren, Johanna, Jonathan, and Melanie.
