Driver Information

Eric Schuelke, better known around the track as Shakes, is a Milwaukee native who has always admired motorcycles. Having spent most of his early 2 wheeled career riding around the countryside, he has since found a new passion, taking those same two-wheeled machines out onto the flat track and competing. The dream of racing dirt flat track started back in Milwaukee when attending Harley Davidson's 115th-anniversary party. There, spectators watched the "Hooligans" race in the sand at Bradford Beach. With little knowledge of the sport but a passion to go fast, he took to learning and soaking up as much information as possible. Over the coming winter months, he spent those cold Wisconsin nights in his garage tooling away learning and building his very first Harley Hooligan.
The bike he created, fittingly nicknamed 'Maverick', made its first track debut on May 3rd, 2019, down in Maryville, Tennessee for Flat Out Friday's season opener at the Great Smokey Mountain Speedway.
You can catch Shakes and his hooligan Maverick out there banging bars with the best of them this season at the GNHC Hooligan Series and AMA District 16 flat track racing.
