 Sherise basically
grew up in SCCA at Summit Point. She first watched
her dad race when she was just a few months old. At a
couple years of age, she referred to the
Formula Vee's as baby race cars. In the late
70's she started working in Timing And Scoring as a
runner and copier machine repairer. After about 12
years of growing up in T&S it was finally time to
try something new (especially since being of legal
age she no longer needed parental release). Since the
Starters bridge was right next to T&S, it was the
next logical step. Shortly thereafter, she
started to work Flagging
and Communications. As of 2006, she held a National
Starters license and a Divisional F&C license. For
the past 2 years she has crewed for her
father and god-father who both drive GTPintos.
For the past 11 years she has worked at Educate,
Inc., lately as the Accounts Receivable Manager, to
help support her hobby and pay vet bills.
She and her husband reside in Laurel, MD. |

 Although
only 16, in the past three years Jimmy has garnered
two National Championships and 6 Regional
Championships in Go-Karting. At the age of 6, he
started his career racing Quarter Midgets on a dirt
track in Maryland.
Go-Kart road racing became his passion and with the
help and support of his parents, Janet and Lin, he
has become a skilled driver. Jimmy has always
enjoyed coming to Summit Point over the years to
watch the racing and pit action. In 2004, Meathead
Racing asked Jimmy to come on board as a crew
member. His willingness to help and always be
available has made him a great asset to the racing
family. He feels he has learned a lot about racing
and cars from the members of the Meathead Racing
Team. Jimmy is currently a Sophomore at Martinsburg
High School. |

 Ryan Podmore is a new
edition to MEATHEAD Racing crew, coming on late in
2007 when he crewed for Meathead Racing during the
4hr EMRA victory. He has grown up around SCCA
most of his life as his father competed in various
autocross events in the Northeast Ohio region and
attending almost every SCCA Runoff since he was
around eight years old. Ryan brings into the
meathead family a wonderfully accomplished wife
Stacey, whose drive to reach her goals only fans his
fire. Ryan plans on building a car for
himself, but until then he plans on some "on the
job" learning with the Meathead Racing family.
With his passion, focus, and "dive in" approach to
life Ryan should be an excellent fit with the
MEATHEAD Racing family. |

 Wendy never would have thought that she would be
spending almost every Spring, Summer, and Fall
weekend living in a motor home, cooking on a grill,
and watching her husband race but there is no where
else that she would love to be. As the wife of a
racecar driver and team owner, she is frequently
found cooking food, supplying drinks to thirsty
drivers, chasing children, and welcoming the
families of other drivers. Wendy loves taking her
20 “mini vacations” each year and visiting with all
of the track friends.
In her spare time, Wendy is a Mother of two
wonderful boys, Cole and Wyatt, Vice President of
Humphrey Rich Construction Group, Inc., and CFO of
MEATHEAD Racing, LLP.

 For
all those who know Anne, “the track” is an amusing
place to find her! Anne is the wife of Chris Tamburo,
a Meathead team driver. Anne has found that, like
Wendy, she has inherited many new jobs at the track;
ranging from Cook to Cheerleader! Always willing to
provide her opinion on the race, strategies and
lighten a usually intense mood, Anne is proud to be
a Meathead Racing team member.
Back in the real world, Anne is the owner of Live
Well Design and Renovation LLC. Chris and Anne have
2 children, Evan and Gianna! Both children have
been conveniently born before the start of racing
season as to not have their father miss a race!
Evan, always eager to help, loves the cars and
especially the tools. Gianna, now one year old, is
sure to be much more interested this season. |

 When
Karen arrived in the United States in 2007 to join
the Collins family as an au pair, she had no idea
what she was getting into. Now one year and many
race weekends later, she is the interim director of
hospitality and regular Collins rugrat chaser. It
did not take long for Karen to learn her way around
the track and into the hearts of the Collins family
and the Meathead Racing family. Karen quickly
figured out that at the track - it is all about
keeping Mike happy. Karen's help is appreciated by
all even though she still confesses to know nothing
about cars. Any given race day, you can find Karen
on the grid, cleaning windshields, feeding the every
growing Meathead Racing team or getting coffee for
those team members who had just one too many the
night before. Although Karen is about to pursue a
new adventure as a freshman at American University
(hard to believe anything could be as exciting as a
year with the Collins family...) , she will continue
to be a valued and loved member of Meathead Racing.
As Karen pursues her degree in International
Studies, we will look to her to apply her new found
knowledge to take Meathead Racing global. |
