AMA Director of AMA Sports Hugh Fleming has left his post and has taken another position within the AMA, according to Brenda Erichsen of AMA Human Resources. Fleming worked directly with the transportation and set-up of the newly-purchased Air Fence sections for AMA Pro Road Racing events. The AMA is now looking to fill Fleming’s position “as soon as possible,” according to Erichsen.

Roadracing World learned of Fleming’s departure when a reader alerted us to a want ad placed on the job search website www.monster.com. The ad placed on Monster.com reads…
