A Fire for Competition
Nicholas Gonzales hails from Sangre Grande has been racing bikes for the last 3
years. He has already represented in Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana and Trinidad & To-
bago. His father worked with the traffic branch division for over 20 years. Seeing him
lead numerous motorcycle Independence Day Parades; the skill, control and bonding
between man and machine to become one, served his passion to get himself a motorbike. He soon came into contact with
Nicholas Kennedy and Wulf Gerstenmaier, both instrumental in sparking his fire for competition at the recently refur-
bished track at Wallerfield. His aspirations are for the sport to grow so the younger ones have an avenue to release their en-
ergy within a controlled environment. He is already contributing by way of seeing Barry Luces a new comer to the sport ad-
vancing exponentially with coaching from him and other racers. He
believes that the sport can grow with more participants via multiple
classes so various age groups can compete. Nicholas believes at
first he did not have natural riding ability and he had to “put in a
lot of work to get to the level he is at“. He won the National Mo-
torbike Racing Championship in 2015 and he is currently the
reigning Champion for 2018. In thanking his sponsors BIZOL
Trinidad & Tobago, UNDSL, The National Gas Company, Mondo
Racing, Fast Parts Racing, HN Racing and his lovely wife for her
support he expresses that “life is such that your bad days should
be seen as part of the learning process for you to have better
days ahead.”
