Nick Trask, born and raised in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, grew up with a passion for Harleys and dirt track cars shared with his father. His love for speed led him from New Zealand's gravel roads to America in 1997 to study at MMI. Starting as an auto mechanic in Arizona, Nick's hard work paid off as he founded Trask Performance, a globally respected performance brand known for Harley turbocharging.
Nick's journey from a suitcase-carrying immigrant to a business owner is a testament to the American Dream. He and his team have revolutionized the industry, drawing inspiration from legends like Arlen Ness and Dave Perewitz. Despite challenges like economic recessions and a devastating fire, Trask Performance stands strong, supplying Drag Specialties with Trask branded products.
Nick’s induction into the Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame is a milestone that made him reflect on his incredible journey. From answering an ad in Easy Rider Magazine to building a world-renowned brand, his determination and love for motorcycles have driven his success. Honored and humbled, Nick expresses his gratitude for this highest industry recognition.
