Subject:******** Update on IHRA President Search...
*
The IRGSE Search Committee agreed upon a very qualified candidate for the position of IHRA President over the weekend. The Search Committee has approved the new appointment and I, as Vice Chairman of the Board of Managers and CEO, endorse the appointment decision.

I wish to thank several of our longstanding sponsors and multiple national media companies for their private input and providing honest and open dialogue as the Committee has done a very thorough review in a short period of time. We are excited about the future this appointment will shape for all.

As I said when we last spoke, the most important impact that I can make in my role is to influence the magnitude of the transformation of the entire IRGSE ecosystem of companies. I do that best by identifying leaders with a personal style and professional qualities that will make the transformation of the IHRA meaningful across every racing class we have and will have in the future, every current and future IHRA member, and each current and future sanctioned IHRA track. We then collectively as a company relentlessly pursue the impact of positive investments in people.

A press announcement and media teleconference with the new IHRA President will take place on Tuesday, February 9. In addition, IRGSE will host several "Town Hall" meetings/calls to employees, sponsor partners, Tracks and IHRA teams.

IRGSE would like to thank Skooter Peaco for stepping in over the last several weeks as the interim President while the search took place. He provided the company with steady leadership during a challenging situation and the Board and myself will remember it.

Shayna will send specific details pertaining to the announcement of the new IHRA President and the "Town Hall" meetings later this week. *

All the best,

CL
