Jodie was champion during the 2000 season in
Solo GT-Lite Endurance, 500 Modified Production
Championship, and 500 Super Stock Championship. She
raced between 1998 and 2004.
Jodie York began her full-time career in the
predominantly male sport of motorcycle roadracing
in 1998 with the Willow Springs Motorcycle Club
(WSMC), “The Fastest Road in the West.”
In April of 2000, she crossed-over from racing a
Yamaha 600, where she regularly finished in the Top
10, to a Yamaha 400 where she began competing in
the 500 Modified Production and 500 Superstock
classes and became the first woman to win multiple
production-based races in the history of WSMC.
Jodie then went on to win the Solo GTL Endurance
Championship, the 500 Superstock Championship, and
the 500 Modified Production Championship in 2000
becoming the first woman to win a production-based
championship and ultimately earning the WSMC
Triple-Crown. She is the highest-ranking woman in
the history of the Willow Springs Motorcycle Club
at #11 in the 2000 WSMC Overall Track
Championship.
Her sponsor, RPM Cycles in Ventura, CA, has been
her primary support since her racing career began.
She has also received support from Jack Ward
Photography, G.M.D. CompuTrack Network Los Angeles,
and Moturis Inc. RV Rentals & Sales.

National Girls & Women in Sports Day Poster, in
the Women in Sports 2000 Calendar, on the cover of

the radio and on numerous websites around the
world. She was nominated for the 2003 Action Girl
of the Year Award; the first award of its kind
created to recognize top female athletes in the
surf, snow, skate & action sports industry, and
appears in the Action Girl 2003-2004 Calendar. She
