AMA Racing has issued its proposed 2009 road racing rules package and made it available on-line. Additionally, as part of its new rulesmaking procedure implemented in 2006, AMA Racing road racing credential holders can comment on the proposed rules. The comment period will run through August 31, 2007. American Motorcyclist Association President/CEO, Rob Dingman commented on the new rules as well as the rulesmaking process. “This package is the result of the collaborative efforts of key AMA Racing staff members and the Road Racing Rules Committee,” said Dingman. “These rules reflect the goals set forth by the AMA’s Racing Committee and were created specifically to support the new AMA Superbike class structure announced in March.”
The American Motorcyclist Association has announced that effective today, AMA President Rob Dingman has been named Chief Executive Officer of the Association, replacing Patti DiPietro, who has served as CEO since January 2006. “This appointment completes the transition in AMA leadership that was begun a year ago,” said Dal Smilie, chairman of the AMA Board of Directors. “That process included a lengthy search period, resulting in the hiring of Rob Dingman as President last December. Since then, Patti DiPietro and Rob have been working together to ensure a smooth transition of leadership. With the appointment of Rob as the AMA’s President and CEO, that transition is now complete.”
