Her and her father perhaps? http://missfullerton.com/imageview.php?img=656&gal=59 Puts her age around 28-29. I swear the woman on the TAR team looks older than that, but my eyes probably deceive me again.

There's also  a Warren Venkatesh, age 57, from Irvine, CA, but no pictures of this person anywhere. All other Venkatesh searches pop up in Northern California.

Interesting, but her face is more of and oval compared to the middle aged woman who's face is more circular. The noses also seem far off.

Yeah i agree the pictures arent 100 per cent but i think that can be put down to deceptive facebook photos being compared with not great quality other ones.. It can't be a coincidence that she just befriended Tim Wiyninger and Amy Diaz and also look like one of the people..

Tim's partner is likely Daniel Steven Merkey from Weatherford, OK.

He works with Tim, recently added Amy Diaz and likes TAR on Facebook.

I didn't see it with those photos, I too thought her head was too oval shaped. But here in these photos I definitely see the same features between Naina and the racer.. same nose, eyebrows and cheekbones.

I think we have enough info to confirm Naina Venkatesh. But we do need more on her partner.

I agree, that more recent photo looks more like her.

Since it is her, I think we can only assume that it is either or father or grandfather that she is racing with. Either way, they aren't going to have a real presence on the internet for us to say.

I guess we have another former beauty pageant contestant...and also a cheerleader dancer... ;D





one thing we can note on her bio's fun facts is :
"Likes to participate in high adventure and dare-devil activities"


also...

Dancers Lead Cheers for Fans of the OC Gladiators

They’re not cheerleaders, they’re dancers. That’s what members of the Goddesses are, young women who love to dance and enjoy leading fans as they root for the local semi-pro basketball team, the Orange County Gladiators.

The dance team boasts years of experience in competitive dance, but there’s more to each girl than being in the limelight. Each is currently in college or has a degree, or is working already in business. There’s no real paycheck, but there are perks, said Jessica Decille.

“We get free tanning and hair,” she said. “The Tribeca Salon does our makeup, unless we do it ourselves, and the team pays for our uniforms.



ocgoddesses

“We’re not cheerleaders,” she adds. “Cheerleaders tumble. We’re dancers.”

Decille is taking classes at Saddleback College in food, nutrition and dietetics, she said, and plans to transfer to California State University Long Beach.

Lindsay Hofstatter is a freshman at Chapman University and is majoring in communicative disorders. She loves performing and is on the dance team at Chapman.

Naina Venkatesh is studying kinesiology and public health. “I love dancing, and would love to dance with NBA and NFL teams, and work as a fitness instructor at 24-Hour Fitness,” she said.

Marissa Domantay is the dance director. This is her second year, and she and Stephanie Manista, assistant director, held the auditions this year.

“We form teams about a month before the season begins,” Manista said. She adds that she works as a marketing manager and has an MBA from the University of Southern California.

About 20 girls tried out for the Goddesses this year.

And, apparently, today is Ally Mello birthday, nice chance to keep on eye on who salutes her.

OK.. A long shot but I think this could be our faceless man from Team BIngo maybe. Recently befriended Tim Wiyninger and follows chester pitts at least, haven't had time to check for others. We can't see this guy in the pic of team bingo but it looks like his arm and hair could be the same as well. NAme is Rowan Joseph. Seems to be a small time actor or something? Obviously the middle guy in the picture

They do look similar, the racer looks a little older. It would explain the Bingo on the shirt. Funny how the one whose face we never saw led to the other. A probable match.
