SEATTLE (April 30, 2019)—After a two year reorganization effort, H1 Unlimited, the governing body for powerboat racing’s most prestigious class of hydroplane racing, announced today they have hired Ron Perry as the sport’s executive director, effective May 1, 2019.
Areas of expertise in marketing, sponsorships, logistics, finance, IT and strategic leadership, Perry will manage the business direction and day-to-day strategic management of the power boat racing series, including, race host partners, marketing partnerships and general supervision of the sport’s network of volunteers.
“I’m excited to bring the sport into the 21st century”, noted Perry. “Top priorities on my list are to bring reliable race coverage to the fans anywhere in the world, the use of drones, GPS and other technologies to ensure the racing is without controversy. This will not only make the fan experience exciting, but actually cost effective.”
H1 Unlimited Fleet
Boat racing returns to Lake Guntersville this summer! This weekend will feature the H1 Unlimiteds, the Grand Prix World hydros and the Powerboat National series. Two nights of concerts, static displays, food and fun including a kids zone with water slides will round out the weekend.
He went on, “When a sport has an exciting product and direct fan engagement, sponsors will want to be a part of it because it will actually be valuable to their bottom line. Happy fans will bring happy sponsors and as a result, create a more stable product that can be expanded to new race sites.”
This is the first time in three racing seasons that a non-boat racer will fill the sport’s top position. Continued, click here...
