Ed York will be taking over as Technical Advisor for MEATHEAD Racing in 2010 and will also be driving a MEATHEAD Racing SSM in the 2010 MARRS Series. Ed brings decades of experience to the team and will elevate the level of track side support received by MEATHEAD Racing customers. A true champion, Ed has won 11 MARRS Championships in 4 different classes. He is no newcomer to racing, as he began racing in 1986 at the tender age of 29. Throughout his racing career he has built and prepared all his racecars himself.

Endurance racing is a favorite and in his first attempt in the 24-hour race at Nelson Ledges, he and his co-drivers finished 1st in their BMW class (4th overall).

Adding to his impressive resume', are previous track records at Summit Point, Nelson Ledges and Lowe's Motor Speedway. Competing many times in the ARRC at Road Atlanta, he has 2 first place finishes in SSM and he has finished 2nd two times in ITB and won the pole position in 2004 in ITS.

With plenty of automotive know how, Ed enjoys helping his friends and fellow competitors with his shop's chassis dyno and suspension set-ups. To support his racing endeavors, Ed owns and operates York Automotive in Mount Airy, MD.

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. She still holds 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.

Since joining the team in 2006, she has progressed from crew to crew chief, and now the team manager/accounting. She and her husband reside in Laurel, MD.

Glenn comes to Meathead Racing after relocating the WRDC region from the Central Carolinas Region of the SCCA. Glenn began his interest in motorsports in the early 80’s when he began competing in Solo 2, Pro Solo and later in Solo 1 high speed events. For years he was hoping one day to get the opportunity to road race. Bob Thornton at Race Engineering gave him that chance in 2004 when Glenn obtained his National Competition License. Glenn was Crew Chief for Bob, the 2 time Spec Miata SARRC champion, for 3 years. After Thornton’s retirement in 2007 Glenn assumed duties crewing for teams such as OPM, Team Carbotech Brakes, and EP contender and former ARRC Champion Sam Moore. Glenn has performed crew chief and over the wall crew duties for 24 hour, 13 hour and 12 hour endurance races as well as numerous shorter endurance races. After taking a year off from road racing, Glenn hopes to again get a chance to drive at his new home track, Summit Point.

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.

George is an accomplished racer - including Virginia Go-Kart & Mini-Bike Club from 1973 through 1975, nationally ranked cyclist from 1985 to 2002, and 2005 MARRS Labor Day Double Pine Wood Derby champion. George would love to continue his racing career, however, his loving wife, Pat, of 50+ years has deemed him ineligible to race a vehicle with a motor. George joined MEATHEAD Racing in early 2003 as the number 20 car's crew chief and all around handy man for the rest of the MEATHEAD Team cars. His responsibilities are fuel carrier, jack man, tire changer, window cleaner, driver valet, gofer, and beer drinker.

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 four wonderful children, Cole, Wyatt, Valerie, and Irina. 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.

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. 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 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.

As the matriarch of the “Meathead” clan, Mary has been thrown into a world that is completely foreign to her. As attested in the article she wrote for The Straightpipe (“If It’s a Horse It Must Be a Mustang”), Momma Meathead knows nothing about cars! She is trying to figure out how she married one car nut and gave birth to an even bigger one. Still she enjoys the race weekends immensely. She feels right at home in the family atmosphere of the paddock, loves all the new friends she has made, and adores the extra time she gets to spend with her grand children, Cole, Wyatt, Valerie, and Irina. Even though cars may not be her expertise, she contributes to the Meathead Racing team with her cooking, cleaning, organizing, gofering, and vast babysitting skills to the ever growing Meathead family.

Mary is retired from the Turfgrass Industry but is in her 20^th year as the Executive Director of the Maryland Turfgrass Association and is currently the President of her local chapter of the International Women’s Organization, Beta Sigma Phi. She is also the Business Manager for Christopher O. Collins Architect, LLC. She lives with her husband Chris “Junior” Collins.

Alison is married to Meathead Racing’s Rock Star Randy Ramos. She is a testament to the old adage that ugly Rock Stars always have beautiful wives.

At the track, Alison makes sure that the ‘Rock Star’ and his entourage is well fed with delicious desserts and not to mention sumptuous dishes.

In real life, Alison is the Technical Manager for the Division of Nuclear Medicine in Johns Hopkins Radiology.
