BEACHAM BROTHERS LEAVING RPS TO RUN LAS VEGAS BALDWIN MOTORSPORTS

RPS WILL CONTINUE FABRICATION AND PREPARATION
Congratulations to Barry and Cory Beacham! The two brothers will be assuming the management of the Baldwin Motorsports Racing Team, Las Vegas, in August—a dream job for both. The Baldwin’s have bought a wonderful facility in the South West part of Las Vegas. The shop will be up and running at full speed by August of 2008.
Barry started RPS years ago to prepare off-road cars for upcoming races. In 2005, he formed a joint venture with Roskamp Family Partners to build off-road vehicles under RPS Sports. Early this year the two companies merged and are operating under the name RPS, with Randy Roskamp overseeing the fabrication of new cars. This merger enables RPS to provide its customers with the best of all the experience and talent of design, fabrication, production, and preparation of desert racers and CORR vehicles.
Along with Barry and Cory, two more of RPS’ employees will be making the journey to Las Vegas. Johnny Nelson and Steve Covey will be heading up the prep side at the new Baldwin Motorsports shop. Johnny has been preparing BJ’s truck since the Parker Race and Steve has been preparing Bobby’s since the San Felipe 250. BJ is current Trophy Truck leader in points and Bobby is 12th.
When asked about the move Cory responded “At first I had no desire to move to Las Vegas. Leaving my family and friends behind didn’t really interest me. But once I met Bobby and BJ my attitude started to change. The character of both these men was intriguing to say the least. Their obvious love of the desert and their commitment to winning really excited me and made me think this would be a huge challenge for me. They have already won races and championships, the bar is set extremely high and it’s our job to produce. When Barry asked me to help him start RPS I gave him a commitment of one year, 7 years later I can honestly say it has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. There are some many great memories and lessons. I will always treasure my time here at RPS.”.
Barry responded with “I am very excited about the opportunity to work with Bobby and BJ, and definitely excited for RPS, which is going thru a tremendous growth spurt right now. Randy and the rest of the RPS crew are going to take it to the next level. RPS has been positioning itself for the last 7 years and is truly expanding in the desert and CORR. Our production has increased, our preparation unit is at the top of its game, and our crew are some of the most talented and dedicated in the industry. I will still have a minority interest in RPS, and will be involved in business decision making, however now is the time for our dedicated team to take what RPS has learned over the last several years and continue to make it grow. The opportunity to work with quality people like Bobby and BJ Baldwin just doesn’t come along very often! Both are very exciting, talented drivers who are committed to winning. Cory and I are extremely excited for the chance to take Baldwin Motorsports to the next level. At the same time we are somewhat saddened to be leaving the day to day operations of RPS, after almost 7 years of dedicating our lives to RPS. RPS has a very strong foundation, and will carry on our main philosophy of quality work, integrity in what we do, and doing the best possible job for our customers! Increasing the customer’s fun factor is what we strive for!
While assuming their new responsibilities, Barry and Cory will continue to own a portion of RPS, remain on its Board of Directors, and provide technical and innovative ideas to RPS. Randy, with the help of some very talented people in the shop, will continue with the daily operations of RPS. Fabrication boosts over 20 years of experience with Justin La Core (Designer/Fabricator), Nick Griner (Fabricator/Mechanic), Nick Ulrich (Fabricator/Welder).and Tiffany Porter (Engineer) On the prep side, there is over 40 years experience between Jeff Lewis (Driver/Fabricator/Mechanic), Steve Bounds (Mechanical Wizard), Adam Diaz (Mechanic)and RPS will continue to provide the same high level of performance, equipment and service that our customers have come to expect for all of their racing or off road needs. Randy, Barry or Cory will be happy to answer any questions.
RPS looking forward to continued success.
