The American Sim Racing Series is back, and the racing is better than ever! Even bigger, a change in the management has led to changes that everyone long awaited. A new "team" management style, where ASRS President Jim Foose, Vice President Eric Bannenberg and Assistant Race Director Marc Meyers work together to solve issues and look for trends to make decisions for the future had brought about much change in the way things are run at the top.
"There is a a transparency factor here, something we wanted for many years" Foose said. "A driver can ask any one of the officials why a decision was made and we can all answer it with great confidence, because we are all greatly involved in the day to day operations of ASRS".
Bannenberg, who has been an ASRS Official since 2005 was heavily involved in the beginning talks with iRacing.com about bringing ASRS over to iRacing.com. He brokered the deals we have for our charter members. Bannenberg also paid for the first week of the season out of his own pocket, sharing some of the responsibility with Foose, who has paid many of the bills for several years, even after membership fees and sponsorship funds had been depleted.
"It's been a long time since I felt we had a team that could handle he situations we have been through in the past four months, but today I can say this is by far the best officiating team ASRS has ever had" said Foose. "It's a long way to the top, and such a short tumble to rock bottom, we have been there this year, but the recent energy and excitement at ASRS shows we are on our way upward now!"
