With nearly 40 years in the motorcycle industry,
25 years of racing experience, Tami will be the instructor for
the Dirt Bike School (for beginner level riders) at Diamond Don’s Riverport National.
She brings her experiences in to help riders of all age groups
and riding levels learn how to have fun and ride safe.
Tami has been racing since 1981, she is daughter
of motocross pioneer racer, John Rice, and creator of
WomensMXHistory.com and owner of
TRPro.com. Tami, along
with Bonnie Warch, were members of the first US Suzuki Women's
Motocross Team during the late 80's, early 90's. The Team
campaigned throughout the States, racing and developing a
positive image for women racers abroad.
In 1991, Tami was contacted by the Italian
promoters wanting US involvement during their 1992 La Femme
International Motocross Championships in Faenza, Italy. The US
Women's MX Team concept began when Nadine Holbert of Houston,
Texas and Tami contacted Elaine Ruff, then a Director of
Operations for a high profile after-market company, to assist
and support a team of US riders to race in the Italian
Championships. That same year, the United States Women's
Motocross Team was founded. The four pioneers representing the
USA: Nadine Holbert - TX, Kristy Shealy - TX, Dee Wood - TX and
Tami Rice - CA went to Italy, and being the best of the best,
placed in 3 of the top five positions!
Tami
continues her racing today as she actively competes in vintage
motocross during the AHRMA National and modern motocross during
WMA events.
