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 5 positions!

Tami continues her racing today as she actively competes in vintage motocross during the AHRMA National and modern motocross during WMA events.
