Eastern Creek. Panther's man now racing head

The Australian Racing Drivers Club (ARDC), at Eastern Creek, has appointed former Panthers Group chief executive, Glenn Matthews, as the club’s newly created position of general manager. He will take up his position on July1. The ARDC announced in March its plans to appoint an inaugural CEO to drive the strategic development of Sydney's only motor sport complex since the Oran Park Raceway closed last year. Club GM, Geoff Arnold, will continue to direct operations at the complex but will report to the CEO, who will oversee relations between the club and the government. The CEO’s position attracted more than 70 applicants.
