Racer Gloves and Doug Polen to Attend The Quail Motorcycle Gathering

Racer Gloves USA, North American importer for Austrian brand RACER, has announced its attendance at the sixth annual The Quail Motorcycle Gathering, taking place on Saturday, May 17th from 10AM-3:30PM at Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel Valley, CA.

Racer Gloves USA will also have former World Superbike and AMA Superbike champion, Doug Polen, at the Racer Gloves booth for autograph signing between 12PM-2PM.

A 2011 AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame inductee, Polen is one of the most accomplished American road racers of the 1980’s and 1990’s. Competing on Honda, Suzuki and Ducati brands, Polen’s list of championships include: 1987-88 AMA 600 Supersport Champion, 1988 AMA 750 Supersport Champion, 1989 Japan F1 and F3 Champion, 1991-1992 World Superbike Champion, 1993 AMA Superbike Champion, 1996-1997 World Endurance Champion.

The boards of the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF), Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA), and the Recreational Off-Highway Vehicle Association (ROHVA) voted unanimously to appoint Scott Schloegel as acting president and CEO of the associations. Diana Sanchez was appointed acting chief operating officer.

Schloegel and Sanchez, whose appointments are effective immediately, will also continue to serve in their current roles as senior vice president of government relations and vice president of operations respectively. The interim leadership was selected to ensure a seamless transition as the associations’ search committee continues to conduct a comprehensive review of the position of president and CEO, and a subsequent search to replace outgoing President and CEO Erik Pritchard.
