Biographies of Our Drivers

Meet Webb Bassick, Bill Douglas, Tom Udee

Webb Bassick

Webb Bassick, of Lake Forest, is Chief Executive Officer of Compensation Strategies, Inc., a consulting firm specializing in executive compensation. He began his racing career in 1963 with a neighbor at Lime Rock. In 1997, he began racing an SRF with Elite Autosport. Webb earned his first win with Elite this year. See the photos!

Before stepping into his red, number 29 SRF, Webb was a very successful S2000 driver. He earned two thirds and a second in S2000 Championships. In 1995 he took first in the S2000 Race of Champions and earned another first at the 1996 June Sprints at Road America.

Webb is often accompanied to the track by his wife Kathy and children Brad, Elliot and Peter. Other family interests include boating, trains, planes and skiing.

Bill Douglas

Bill Douglas is director, manufacturing development for Kimberly-Clark Corporation in Appleton, WI.

Bill caught the racing bug in high school when he worked corners at Mid America Raceway, then "dreamed about racing for 30 years."

Later he became a three-time, Autocross, F-Stock Tri-State Champion for Arkansas, Tennessee & Mississippi.

Bill began leasing the red 04 SRF from Elite Autosport three years ago. One of the highlights of his short SRF career happened last year when he qualified for a starting position on the front row at Blackhawk Farms Raceway.

Tom Udee

Tom is lab assistant with the Milwaukee Health Department's Chemical laboratory.  On weekends, he also works for Elite, where he occasionally indulges his "racing habit."  Tom has many trophies for racing motorcycles and three-wheelers--motocross, flat track, ice racing and drag racing.   He does them all. That's where Tom's interest in racing started and it eventually led him to race cars.

He has driven with Elite for two years and can be seen in the red Elite car. Sometimes its Number 01, sometimes 02, 03 or 04.

He races because, "I love the rush and have a need for speed. I also love meeting the people who race," he added. Tom, his wife, Kelly, and daughter Mieke, who is 3 years old, can often be seen at the track.

Tom's favorite racing memories include the 24 Hours of Mid-Ohio in 1985, where his team took 3rd place, SSC. Larry Kraemer and the Bartels brothers were drivers of the car. A sad note: on April 24, 1999, the Lord told Larry, "The racecars are in and we're going green."  God speed, L.K.

When he's not driving or working, Tom enjoys grouse and deer hunting, fishing and doing things with Kelly and Mieke.
