TEAM OWNERS
Bobby Regan
Much of the team’s successful work ethic and drive can be attributed to team principle Bobby Regan. Regan originally comes from a football background and understands the value of proper training, preparation and the ability to make adjustments as needed when the game calls for it. As an entrepreneur from Mississippi whose successful business endeavors have included ownership of a bank and now owning and operating a multi-line auto dealership, Regan has proven himself both on and off the track. Star Racing was founded in 1999 by Bobby Regan to compete in the AMA Supercross and Motocross Championships as a full privateer effort. The team grew each year and in 2003 won the Supercross Privateer of the Year award with rider Keith Johnson. Building off that success, Star Racing became an official Yamaha Factory supported program in 2005 and is now one of the most sought after teams for top contenders and young riders looking to advance their careers. Star’s superior management, equipment and support staff helped a number of riders move onto full factory rides in the early days. Regan’s management and business experience helps make Star Valli Yamaha one of the most organized and well trained teams in the paddock.
Chad Lanza
As an entrepreneur from Los Gatos, CA who’s business endeavors of Valli Construction has afforded him with the opportunity to pursue his passion for motorcycle racing. Lanza started VMS (Valli Motorsports) in 2007 with participation in the WORCS and Western states off-road racing series. In 2010 he then added to his efforts and started a Yamaha supported full time SX/MX effort, realizing several top 5 finishes in the completive 450cc classes. Wanting to take things to the next level, he reached out to the Star Racing group. Together they hope to become one of the sports elite super teams with a full Amateur, Off-road, Supercross & Motocross effort.
