Terry is 62 years old and employed as a Divisional Safety and Health Manager for a Fortune 500 company.  He has been involved in motorsports since 1967, first as just a spectator, then race staff worker, as a driver, and in race administration.

Terry has worked every race staff position available except Starter, including several years as Chief Steward of the Chicagoland Sports Car Club.  He has also served two terms as the club's president and administered several races as Race Chairman.  As a driver he has campaigned a Formula Vee, E-Production MGB, a B-Sedan Datsun 510, and most recently a GT-1 Chevrolet Camaro.  Terry is also the author of a book entitled "The Other Side of the Fence:  Recollections of a Race Fan."

Team Principle and Team Manager: Doug 'Bunky' Shippert

Doug or 'Bunky' as we all affectionately call him is 63 years old and a retired high school principal and farmer.  He has been involved in road racing since 1969, first as a part of race staff and then as a driver.  Bunky has raced a C-Production Datsun 240Z, a Showroom Stock A Datsun 240Z, a D-Production Datsun 2000, and a Triumph TR-4 with which he captured the Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs D-Production Class Championship.

For the last several years, Bunky has been the owner and team manager of Shippert Racing.  With his son Ethan as the driver, they successfully campaigned in the highly competitive Formula Vee class at SCCA Nationals, twice qualifying for the SCCA National Championships or 'Runoffs.'

Bunky is a graduate of North Central College in Naperville, IL and is married to Mary Ann.  They have three children, Beth, Ethan, and Laura.

Crew Chief and Transport Driver: Eric Aasen

Eric is 31-years-old and literally grew up at racetracks, being dragged there by his parents nearly every other week during the season.  He was cursed from birth (and before) with a love of racing having heard racecar engines in the womb as his mother worked as a 'Phone Girl' on corners at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in Rockton, IL.  He attended his first race at the tender age of 6 months old, he would've been younger at his first if not for the fact that he was born in November and the next race wasn't until April.

Eric is a graduate of the Jim Russell Mechanics Training Program and the Jim Russell Driver's School.  He has been employed as a lead mechanic and transport driver for various teams such as Cape Motorsports in Palmetto, Florida and G.FRO Racing out of San Clemente, California, both of whom compete in the FF2000 Series.  He has also worked for Team American Speed Factory out of Hallandale Beach, FL and Velocity Motorsports from Prospect Hill, NC who both compete in the Star Mazda Championship Series.  Along with his FF2000 and Star Mazda experience he has worked as a crew member in Trans-Am and for various SCCA teams.

Eric is single and a graduate of the University of North Dakota with a Bachelor of Science in Aviation.  He is a licensed pilot with Multi and Single Engine Commercial/Instrument ratings and has a Class A Commercial Drivers License.
