FULL BIO: Jen Bauer
Jen Bauer serves as a Technical Steward and Clerk of the Course for MotoAmerica, bringing her mechanical engineering background and deep passion for motorcycles to ensure safety and fair competition in the sport[1].
EARLY YEARS
Jen’s journey into the motorcycle world began when she purchased a 1972 Honda CL450 Scrambler for just $50, which she affectionately nicknamed “The Stinkmaster” due to its diesel-like smell. During her college years at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, she joined the SAE Mini Baja student group, laying the foundation for her future in motorsports[1].
EARLY SUCCESS
Rather than competing as a racer, Bauer’s career in motorsports began by volunteering at the MotoAmerica round in New Jersey Motorsports Park, where she assisted with Technical Control by checking tire stickers for factory teams. This volunteer work evolved into continued involvement with Technical Control for races over the next two years, eventually leading to her hiring by MotoAmerica in 2019[1].
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2019: Hired by MotoAmerica after two years of volunteering in Technical Control[1].
- 2019+: Became FIM certified as both a Technical Steward and Clerk of the Course[1].
REPUTATION
In the MotoAmerica paddock, Jen has earned respect for her technical expertise, detailed knowledge of motorcycles, and commitment to ensuring safety and fairness in the sport. Her passion for the mechanical aspects of racing and admiration for the craftsmanship of premier teams has made her a valued member of the technical team, appreciated by colleagues and peers alike for her professionalism and collaborative approach[1].
