About — Super Carl Racing

Carl Soltisz is a MotoAmerica/AMA professional road racer and multi-time ASRA/CCS national champion from Springfield Township, MI. Unlike many pro road racers who started racing at a very young age, Carl didn’t have the opportunity to start racing until the age of 19. Protective parents meant motorcycle racing was off-limits to him while growing up. However, as soon as he was old enough to set off on his own, he bought an old race bike and dove headfirst into the sport. Right away he made a name for himself at local club racing events, advancing quickly through the ranks to earn his Pro license in 2014. Affectionately nicknamed Super Carl due to his on-track exploits, he has established himself as a fan favorite and local legend in the Midwest region.

When Carl isn’t busy chasing his own racing dreams, he offers private coaching opportunities for anyone looking to improve their skills on a motorcycle. He is passionate about growing the sport and getting the next generation of motorcycle racers up to speed. Carl is also an accomplished Supermoto racer and regularly trains on dirt bikes, ice bikes, and mountain bikes as often as he can.

His drive to succeed continues off-track as well. While honing his race craft over the years, Carl earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and two master’s degrees in engineering/business administration. Bolstering his education is a culmination of real-world work experience gained while serving as a Marketing Coordinator at Yamaha Motor Corporation, a Powersports Design Engineer at Honda R&D Americas, a Calibration Testing Methodology Supervisor at Stellantis, and now as a High-Performance Motorcycle Calibration Test Engineer at Bosch where he regularly develops traction control calibrations for production motorcycle manufacturers.
