staginglanes ANDRA BOARD CHANGES South Queensland Division Director Wayne Downes has been voted onto the ANDRA Board at a meeting of Division Directors prior to the 2017 Annual General Meeting, which was held at the Mawson Lakes Hotel and Function Centre in Adelaide on November 17. Downes will take a Division Director position for a term of three years. “It is both humbling and an honour to be elected to the Board of ANDRA,” Downes said. “I am looking forward to working with the other board members and all the ANDRA members to bring the sport of drag racing and ANDRA back to the forefront of motor racing. “I would like to thank my fellow Division Directors for having the faith and confidence in me to elect me to the ANDRA Board.” Downes has taken on the position vacated by NSW Division Director, Geoff Crisp, on the ANDRA Board. During the last year Geoff has worked tirelessly for the sport and all ANDRA stakeholders in what has been a difficult time in Drag Racing. Geoff’s efforts were acknowledged at the Annual EXCLUSIVE General Meeting with Chairman, Nathan Pierano, thanking Geoff for all his time and effort. After coming to ANDRA in the position of CEO in 2016, before moving to a volunteer Board position in July 2017, Grant Goodall has chosen not to renominate to the ANDRA board. The Board and management sincerely thank Grant for his invaluable input and the enormous amount of work put in during his time with ANDRA. The ANDRA Board is made up of Chairman and NA Division Director, Nathan Peirano; WA Division Director Terry Jongen, SQ Division Director Wayne Downes; Grant Wilson (renominated for a further two years) and Grant Hamon hold the independent positions; and Peter Kapiris (who filled one of the two casual vacancy positions on the Board at the 2016 AGM.)
