Jeff Arend, more commonly known as Maverick, was the founder of Ohio YSR League. In 1999 Maverick, along with a group of volunteers, founded the club based on the Yamaha YSR 50. Using Circleville Raceway Park (CRP) as their hometrack, they set off building a racing club from the ground up. In its first year the club enjoyed much success. Unfortunately Maverick would not make it to see the end of the first season. He died Sep.17 1999 in an accident while riding alone. Since then a countless number of volunteers have vowed to work hard to make sure the club Maverick founded would be around for many years to come!
