Name: Jean-Pierre Marais (JP)
Hometown: Cleveland, Ohio
Crewmember Since: 2011
Responsibilities: Mechanic

JP comes from ALMS and enjoys working with Lux Performance because they are a “well oiled” machine. He feels that Fred and Cindi have so much experience which they gladly share with the rest of team in a positive manner. Part of the traveling road show with the team for the Dodge Viper Cup Program and also the history buff of “Jacko” the team mascot. JP brings a lot of endurance experience and depth to the team. And nobody talks faster than JP.

My most memorable part of this team has been the introduction to The Crippler….I need to say no more?

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: Matt Fitzgerald
Hometown: Suburbs of Seattle, WA (because downtown is just weird)
Crewmember Since: We can't remember, but we'll call it 2014
Responsibilities: Lead Technician

It's all about the competition and camaraderie.  In the paddock everyone is open to helping their competitors.  Anything from loaning tools or parts to physically working on each others cars.  All for the opportunity to beat them on the race track.  A friend once told me your first competitor is your team mate.  Wish no one ill fate, beat them fair and square.

Most memorable moment: Smoking the front tires off of an Impala in the parking lot of a hotel in Sonoma.  Pretty impressive for a front wheel drive V6 with a car load of crew guys.

Name: Travis Keister
Hometown: Portland, OR
Crewmember Since: 2023
Responsibilities: Race Car Mechanic

Travis knows cars inside and out, and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty.  He's a great team player, and loves being part of the team.

Name: Christian Funk
Hometown: Portland, OR
Crewmember Since: 2019
Responsibilities: Mechanic and Fabricator

Christian brings years of experience in high-end custom class car builds, a passion for precision craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to excellence.  He values the opportunity to learn from team owner Fred Lux in his unique and creative approach to problem solving.

Name: Andy Frezza
Hometown: Portland, OR
Crewmember Since: We can't remember, but we'll call it 2012
Responsibilities: Marketing and Social Media

Andy grew up at Portland International Raceway and Woodburn Dragstrip watching his dad race Ford Mustangs faster than the pro drivers.  His dad inspired him and taught him how to wrench just enough to be dangerous.  Andy loves the comaraderie racers have for each other and there's no better feeling than heading out to the track on a sunny, foggy or even rain-soaked morning!

Andy's most memorable moment is every moment he gets to spend with the team out at the track during their downtime.  The group of bright and hilarious men and women that Cindi and Fred put together is truly legendary.  Their car is always ready to go no matter what the situation and the crew loves what they do.  We think he may have taken one wrench too many to the head

Name: Maureen Everett
Hometown: Marble Falls, TX
Crewmember Since: 2010
Responsibilities: Logistics and Communications

Maureen takes care of all the airline, hotel, team hospitality and problem-solving for the team and clients. We call her the Team Mom, as she is a true wizard of herding all the cats on the team when it comes to travel.

Most Memorable Moment: Learning how to fly on the trapeze for a team building exercise, and "watching Fred fly and then hit the net was priceless!" 

Spare Time: In her spare time, she likes free climbing and waterfall kayaking! If she had a career change, she would love to tame lions!

Name: Robert Montano
Hometown: Portland, OR
Crewmember Since: 2009
Responsibilities: Mechanic

When Robert joined the team he quickly learned the tricky balance of fun and a strong work  ethic within the business. He is a “‘Jack of all trades and a master of none.”  This is Roberts first involvement into motorsports as a team member, and he is the first one to jump and offer his assistance when work needs to be done. Robert is pretty famous around the shop for his fan favorite driving style in a Chump Car race in Portland.  Robert was a member of the traveling team in 2010 with the inaugural Dodge Viper Cup Celebrity Program that was managed by Lux Performance.  

My most memorable moment would have to be in the 2010 Viper Cup season, it was when we were at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah, one of our celebrity drivers for the weekend was Ralph Gilles the CEO of Dodge.

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 creativity of the team.

Name: Jeff Boerio
Hometown: Newberg, OR
Crewmember Since: 2005
Responsibilities: Creative Director; Team Photographer, Webmaster

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: 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.
