About Bob

Bob Scheer's love for motorsports started at the age of 14, when he joined the pit crew for Pieper Racing in 1974. Since then, love has turned into obsession as he strives to hone his skills at every opportunity.

His extensive experience over a broad range of road courses has given him the ability to adapt to any racing situation quickly. This ability to quickly learn the nuances of a new course and find the weaknesses and strengths of his opponents gives him the edge he's needed to dominate early in the race, and be able to hold on to his advantage to the checkered flag.

Though most of his experience is with high-horsepower rear-wheel-drive vintage American muscle with the Vintage Auto Racing Association (VARA), Bob has proven his immense skill set and adaptability by capturing 2nd in qualifying, then climbing the podium on his first full race weekend in the USTCC MINI Cooper S at Thunderhill Raceway.

Speed, passion, and most importantly, the ability to adapt to the ever-changing conditions of wheel-to-wheel racing are what has brought Bob Scheer to the level of driving skill required for success amongst intense competition.
