About Evil Genius Racing...

Evil Genius Racing was started in 2003 by John Pagel - a longtime NASA road racer, certified welder, expert metal fabricator, and all-around gearhead. Educated as a mathmetician, John quickly found after college that constructing equations was less existentially satisfying than constructing machines that go fast. So his plan to be a math teacher was put aside as he became involved in sports car racing.

After 15 years of working in the automotive industry (in parts and service with Mercedes, BMW, VW, Mazda, GM and Land Rover) and 5 years of owning his own auto repair business, John had his fill of the grind and politics of the industry and decided to follow his bliss. Evil Genius Racing was born shortly thereafter in John's garage in Davis, CA.

John formed a small cadre of fellow evil geniuses, all with their own impressive talents and credentials, and Evil Genius Racing now thrives in ideally-located West Sacramento - 1 hour from Infineon Raceway, 1.5 hours from Thunderhill, and 2.5 hours from Laguna Seca, Reno-Fernley, and the proposed new Riverside Motorsports track in Merced.

Evil Genius Racing specializes in custom roll cage design and construction, parts fabrication, racing suspensions and Mazda gearbox rebuilding. John is one of only 25 certified NASA safety inspectors in northern California who can perform annual race car inspections and issue race car logbooks.
