....event management, sponsorship, event planning. Did I miss where it says he knows anything about drag racing?

I wish the new director the best of luck and I am crossing my fingers that he will do a good job.

I will give Mr. Schaefer all the support I can and wish him good luck. I hope he can make the changes that are needed in our Division. Good communication skills will go a long way. Jim

I agree. I was hoping for a bit more of a racer.

For what it's worth, I'll vouch for him. He's a great guy whom I think you'll find will work hard to help the Division. He's an exceptional event director, an excellent administrator and will be excellent in his communication with the racers. Moreover, he won't put his nose into subjects which are better handled by the Division Tech Director.

Give him time and get back to me.

And that sounds promising.

Bret, you vouching for him is all the credential I need. I was concerned about him not really being a "racer", but if you believe in him then he has to be a good guy. I look forward to shaking his hand in Reynolds and seeing what he has in store for the division ( hopefully a decent schedule, with some races outside of fl/ga.

I will second this
If you have questions or concerns he will talk to you about them and not just blow you off. As a former Gateway racer I thought he was great. Too bad they are having their problems and he is leaving give him a chance and I think you guys will like him.
He has motorsports experience and has been involved in everything from Pulling Tractors to Monster Trucks and with Gateway you can include Drag Racing and Crapcar to that.
