Leadership Team
Brett Arnold
President
“Howdy! My name is Brett Arnold, and I am the President of Aggie Lemon Racing! It is my job to manage the organization without losing focus on what our values are (Having fun, wrenching, and building friendships). I am responsible for overseeing all other officers, subteam leads, and members within the organization.
A little bit about myself, I am a Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology major here at Texas A&M University. I have several vehicles, but the coolest one is my 1965 Mustang GT. I am always happy to talk to people, so don’t hesitate to reach out or stop and talk to me if you see me around!”
Elise Robinson
Vice President
“As VP, most of my job is just the miscellaneous, behind-the-scenes tasks that keep the organization running smoothly, like registering and planning for events and making meeting slides and notes. I also serve as backup help for our president and the other officers. However, the most important part of my job is to make sure all of our members are having a good time, have the support they need, and are heard when they have any concerns!
I’m an Interdisciplinary Engineering student, class of ’27, specializing in Automotive Engineering and minoring in Electrical. I’m aiming to work in design engineering for either motorsports or high-performance production vehicles. I drive a 2013 Scion FR-S named Fish that I got from a sketchy ad on Facebook Marketplace.”
Luke Valentine
Treasurer
“I manage the finances for our Texas A&M 24 Hours of Lemons race team, overseeing budgeting, spending, and compliance with university regulations. I run our merchandise store from end to end: from sourcing parts and gear to handling sales and inventory. I also handle insurance paperwork and help guide the growth of our leadership team. My role blends financial strategy with a hands-on passion for grassroots motorsports.
I’m an Economics major with my eyes set on a career in banking, so I will manage our club’s finances with a high attention to detail . I used to daily a Honda S2000 that I just sold, and now I’m joining the dark side and getting a truck.”
Paige Malone
Public Relations
“My job is to secure all the sponsors for the team, and organize all the social events. I was born a people person, so this is a dream role for me!
I’m a physics and education major, class of 2027. My dream car is a Honda Del Sol! I think it is the Miata’s cousin, just better (don’t hate me). I started on the electrical subteam and, after a year, became an officer. My favorite lemons memory is our 24 Hours of Lemons Race in 2024, my first-ever race!”
