What a classless move by management. I am glad I didn't drive to Cocoa Beach for the races and from what it sounds like I won't be in the future.

On the other hand it shows the mindset of the owner. If you cant get it done and this is not the first time, cut bait and move on. The old saying hire slow and fire fast!! It shows a message he's not playing around. There is too much on the line this time

I don’t follow the IHRA, so did not know, but just discovered the new President Tommy Thomassie resigned in a different roll with the IHRA last month.

I'm guessing...Just going out on a limb here...But I'm guessing there's a whole lot more to this story. And I'm guessing there's people in the know, and I'm guessing the full story is being told on various docks and in various texts. Just not for public display.

This is no surprise, as I had posted in earlier threads concerning Leah, it was just a matter of time before she was let go. From what I'd heard, she was 100% not qualified for the position she was given. Let's hope that IHRA and RWO can come to an agreement now on KW, so the World's see a full fleet of raceboats again this year!

Well, looks like they moved on from Thomassie already. Or Maybe he did not accept the job ? I dunno.
Here's the new guy.

Pretty impressive resume for the job. Seems like a great fit to accomplish their goals.

Where is the resume ? I just see a blip mention of offshore racing and pwc’s.

This article is actually a lot better. Explains things with more detail on all fronts.

I used the word resume as a general description to speak to his experience in motorsports racing and successful motorsports business ownership as stated in the article.
