[Honestly I'm happy with any mix of winging and planning! XD I'm a worldbuilding nerd whether it's done in advance or through tags... orz
To answer the question, though, Tetsuo would be 500% down for it! Really, the only thing keeping him scarce would be that he doesn't exactly have a ton of cash to put in the pot as an entree fee or whatever. So he's probably a bit of a dark horse relegated to the small times--unless something gives him a reason to save up or try to borrow/barter his way in, e.g. needing a lot of cash quick for a friend.
Even if he's small time, an avid enthusiast would probably know about the random street punk with a reputation for riding like a maniac and winning consistently, and maybe rumors about his affiliation with a now-defunct biker gang, etc. Conversely, his yakuza ties could have been the price of covering his entry fee, or something, if that works better!]
