Eric Schutt
|

My name is
Eric Schutt. I'm 31 years old and live and work in the Chicago
area. I'm married to my wife Karen and have a daughter, Megan. I
graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor's in Sports
Business. I work at
SRAM Corporation as the Event and Promotion Manager in the Marketing
Department. SRAM is the second largest bicycle component manufacturer in
the world. My responsibilities include management of global
promotional materials, event management, athlete sponsorship, event
sponsorship, and tradeshow management. I've been with
SRAM Corporation eight years and I enjoy everyday. My job
has taken me around the world from places like Traverse City
to Tokyo. Besides R/C, I enjoy kart racing, mountain biking,
home improvement, travel, and training our family dog,
Marla. I'm not a smoker and I do not use drugs.
My goal is to be a successful and professional driver in the
competitive, Midwest racing scene. My primary focus is on
nitro and electric touring car. This past year, I was
sponsored by Airtronics, Byron Originals, Trinity Products,
and Pro-Line. I've been into R/C since I was 12 years old when I
was able to save up enough for a used Tamiya Fast Attack Vehicle; I've
been hooked ever since. Currently, my garage is filled with electric &
nitro airplanes, electric & nitro trucks and buggies, and even some
boats…but my passion is racing touring cars. My main focus is racing my
Team Associated TC3 and nitro TC3 touring cars. Maybe it's my background
in karting combined with the competitive spirit of mountain biking, but
I really enjoy the balance of tuning and precision driving that makes
for close touring car racing.
I have a strong connection to the industry at both the manufacturer
and the retail level. The leading hobby retailer in the Chicago area is
Al's Hobby shop; it's also my local shop. Al's is located in Elmhurst,
Illinois and has been in business 57 years. I've been a customer at Al's
for almost 20 years now and have a very good relationship with the staff
there. In addition to racking up 'frequent flier miles' as a customer,
they also trust me as an extension of their company as I'm one of their
outsource repair mechanics. I have an open dialog with the decision
makers and I've often turned them on to new and exciting products. Upon
request, I've also conducted specific market research on behalf of my
sponsors. Part of my full time job entitles me to a fair amount of
travel. In my travels, I regularly visit hobby shops and tracks. This
helps me keep in touch with the scene in different regions. The past two
years, I've attended the Hobby Vision show in LasVegas and the iHobby
show in Chicago. This year at the iHobby show, I was trusted to assist
both Pro-Line and Airtronics by staffing their trade show booths. |
