An Open Letter from Tony Parella

Dear MotorsportReg Community,

I am thrilled to have this opportunity to introduce myself as the new owner of MotorsportReg. For those of you who may not have seen the press release, I was fortunate to acquire MSR from Hagerty a few months back. My name is Tony Parella, and as the CEO of Parella Motorsports Holdings, I have spent my career working to grow and nurture grassroots motorsports. Parella Motorsports was built by racers and for racers, and I am proud to continue that mission with MotorsportReg.

Kim and Tony Parella

First and foremost, I want to reassure you that MotorsportReg’s core principles will remain unchanged. The data privacy policy, along with all user and organizer terms and conditions, will stay exactly as they are aside from changes to the legal entity name. We are committed to maintaining your trust by ensuring that event organizers continue to own their organization’s data. This data arrangement has been a core value of MotorsportReg, and I will make sure it remains so under my leadership.

My goal with this acquisition is simple: to do whatever I can to support and grow motorsports and provide technology to support the incredible community of event organizers, clubs, and sanctioning bodies that make it possible. I want to ensure that every club, organizer, and participant has the tools they need to succeed now and into the future to sustain this community that has meant so much to me. Before I was old enough to drive, I was racing a Camaro stock car on the dirt ovals of Weedsport Speedway in upstate New York. Born out of this racing was the desire to share the passion and grow the sport.

MotorsportReg has been an integral part of the motorsport community for 20+ years, and my mission is to expand its capabilities while respecting the foundation that has already been built. To this end, I am also proud to share that the entire MotorsportReg team that you’ve come to know and trust over the years has been retained as part of the acquisition. I am honored and energized to be working alongside such a talented and passionate group, and I am committed to doing everything in my power to enable them to continue providing the high level of service you’ve come to expect while also furnishing them with the necessary resources to grow and improve the platform. 

I look forward to working with you all to support the continued growth and success of our beloved motorsports community, and I welcome your thoughts, ideas, and feedback. If…
