Lux Performance Group Crew

The success we have on the track is a direct result of the tireless, selfless work of our entire crew and their amazing efforts.

Name: Keith Watson
Hometown: Wilsonville, OR
Crewmember Since: 1997
Responsibilities: Data Systems

Keith loves being involved in racing, especially with a team that has a fun, competitive attitude.

Keith's favorite team moment is every time the team goes to the track. Each time it's a new challenge and memorable. He was also instrumental in helping Cindi win the ALMS Women's Global GT Series Championship in 1999.

Name: Howard Emery
Hometown: Orting, WA
Crewmember Since: 2004
Responsibilities: Transporter Driver

Howard joined the team as a good way to see some of the finest racing venues in North America.

His favorite memory is the Bubble Party at Mid Ohio.  We won't explain further.

Name: Kevin DeLong
Hometown: Dallas, OR
Crewmember Since: 2005
Responsibilities: Shop Manager/Director of Team Motivation

Kevin has racing in his blood.  He has been around all forms of motorsports from demolition derbies to dirt track to karting to road racing.

Kevin's fondest memory with the team is the 2006 SCCA Club Racing T1 Championship Runoffs, where the team went from the highest of highs, leading the race, to the lowest of lows when tired brakes gave the lead to someone else with two laps to go.  Kevin says there's no "I" on the team, and they win together or lose together, no matter what happened during the race, they stuck together as one.

Name: Mark Lambrecht
Hometown: Sandy, OR
Crewmember Since:  2005
Responsibilities:  Car Chief/Lead Mechanic

Mark joined the team for three reasons: a learning experience, a desire to work with and on race cars and the satisfaction and enjoyment of helping a race team improve from race to race.

Mark's favorite experience was the entire 2007 season.  He was assigned the Car Chief for the #2 car at the four races, and each of those races was an improvement in both qualifying and race finish over the previous race.

Name: Rex Solin
Hometown: Aloha, OR
Crewmember Since: 2005
Responsibilities: Fabrication

Rex has been fabricating/welding roll cages and other equipment for more than 20 years.  He's been around the show car scene as well as raced in SCCA Club Racing.

Rex's favorite memory of the team was being the lead crew member for Cindi's car at the 2007 SPEED World Challenge GT race at Road Atlanta.

Name: Matt Bejnarowicz
Hometown: Detroit, MI
Crewmember Since: 2005
Responsibilities: Engineer

Matt joined the team because of his love for racing and the challenges that exist in vehicle dynamics.

His favorite memory is running 1/2 at the 2006 SCCA National Championship Runoffs (which of course, was followed by an immediate low)

Name: Jeff Boerio
Hometown: Dundee, OR
Crewmember Since: 2005
Responsibilities: Digital Imagery

Because one of his industry friends suggested he should develop his motorsports photography skills, he answered a call from Cindi to come out and take some photos. 

No one wants him turning a wrench, and the hardest part of his job starts when the rest of the crew is tucked away in bed at night.  His most memorable moment was dangling over the edge of a pickup truck on the back straight of PIR taking some rolling photographs of two Vipers while being held in the truck by only his belt.  And he loves the challenge that follows Cindi's statements, "Hey buddy, can you do ...."

Name: Matt Hinkley
Hometown: Portland, OR
Crewmember Since: 2007
Responsibilities: Lead Shop Mechanic 

The reason Matt's on this team is because he finds it rare to do interesting things with good people.  Or is that do good things with interesting people?

He doesn't yet have a most memorable moment, but is amazed by the level of expertise and

Name: Chris Cox
Hometown: Lakewood, OH
Crewmember Since: 2007
Responsibilities: Mechanic

Chris joined the team because his parole officer considers it community service.  Oh, and he loves racing.

His most memorable moment was when he won a go-cart race amongst other crew members.  It's all about bragging rights, he says!

Name: Dawna Friedman
Hometown:  Danville, CA
Crewmember Since:  2008
Responsibilities: Team Logistics Coordinator, Driver Liaison, Crew Member 

Dawna has a passion for motorsports of all kinds, and this is the reason she's in this business since 1998.  The competition and camaraderie of racing is intense and, to be honest, there just isn't anything quite like being an integral part of a winning team.

Dawna says that among her favorite experiences, being a part of the 2000 Barbour Racing team when they swept the American Le Mans Series GT Championship.

Name: Steve Fite
Hometown: Miamisburg, OH
Crewmember Since: 2008
Responsibilities: Car Chief

Steve has wanted to be a race car technician since he saw professional road racing when he was a child.  Proud to be living that dream, he's responsible for the mechanical maintenance of one of the team's Vipers, including cleaning, parts replacement, diagnosis and delivering a car to the driver that is 100%.

Steve has had limited experience with Lux Performance, and lists among his most memorable achievements so far, helping his team to a Top Ten finish at the 24 Hours of Daytona race by changing 44 tires in 24 hours.
