Dear ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv Members:In the last several weeks, there has been considerable public discussion regarding the relationship between ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv and Mazda. Recently, management and leadership from both organizations met face-to-face, and while we are not going to re-hash everything that has happened over the last 12 months, we are confident in stating that both ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv and Mazda have similar goals and are moving forward together in a positive manner.Specifically, we have discussed and reached an understanding regarding car classification, the Court of Appeals processes, the role of manufacturers within ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv racing and comments made publicly and privately by members of both organizations.Following our face-to-face meetings, we are confident that both ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv and Mazda are on a positive path heading into the future. There have been things that both organizations have done to upset the other in the past, but we believe that we are all stronger, and smarter, moving forward.It is important to note that the discussions and activities over the last several months have given us great feedback on how to better serve and communicate with not just Mazda, but all of our partners. Motorsports would be nothing without competition, and while some programs are designed specifically to remove the brand of vehicle, tire or other component from the equation, diverse activities demand diverse participation. That is something on which both ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv and Mazda can certainly agree.This is our first and, ultimately, only public statement regarding the issues of the last several months. Some will always desire greater detail, but it would not be productive for ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû51xxtv, Mazda or any of our partners to continue to focus on anything but the future and building stronger, more viable programs for the Club.
