Who is Team Purple Motorsports?

The Schneider’s, Ron and Melanie. along with their boys, Austin and Waren, are avid Motorsports enthusiasts.  Each member has a different avenue of interest, but all share a passion to race and a competitive spirit.  Austin designs and builds model functioning suspensions.  He draw’s impressive designs both on paper and/or the computer, as well as some interesting chassis.  Waren can’t wait to drive the cars by himself.  Both boys drive whenever they can.  The boys can be found at events when it doesn’t interfere with their studies and/or athletic interests.  Ron’s parents play a huge role behind the scenes, caring for their boys when they race.  Without their help and loving support, they would be unable to travel and participate at a professional level in the Motorsports arena.

Melanie has competed all her life in the sports arena:  Diving/Swim team, cheerleading, soccer, and tennis.  She owns/operates a Promotional Consulting Firm that provides Screen printing, Embroidery, Banners, Give-A-Ways, etc.  Melanie’s continuing dedication to the team and its success is unprecedented.  She competed as a spotter for eight years in Extreme Rock Crawling for the unlimited class from 1999 – 2008. She was the first female spotter in the sport, opening the sport to other females. In 2009, she achieved her NHRA license without prior racing experience after only ten passes on the track. Her seat time, knowledge and understanding of vehicle dynamics, the ability to feel the feedback from the vehicle and nerves of steel earned her a seat in our NHRA  Dragster. Aside from sitting in the Drivers Seat Dragster, Melanie is responsible for the business side of things, team appearance, team promotion and the schedule for the Race Team.

Ron has been driving since he was 10 years old.  From golf cars, motorcycles, & trail bikes to his parents cars (while they weren’t home of course).  He has been taking cars apart and rebuilding them to enhance performance as long as he can remember.  Combined with a passion for racing, he’s always looking for a way to perfect his rig. Ron has 8 years of Competitive Rock crawling under his belt and 1 year of Street Legal Import Drags, not to mention years of off road driving, trails and mud bogging. His ability to promote the team’s sponsors, provide important feedback to product sponsors and always working to promote their products along with always working on improving the Team makes him a valued Team Owner. Ron designs, builds, and maintains the Team’s Race Cars and transport rigs.  He Crews for the Team and stays on top of all the Race prep details.
