| Letter from Bill Armitage - IMSA Weekends |
| 7/13/2021
Bill Armitage from IMSA has sent us a thank you letter for the two IMSA events that we have put on:
Thank you everyone that helped make the 6 Hours of the Glen and the 240 a successful two race events. I know it was a long 6 days for everyone, especially those that worked both race weekends We appreciate the time and effort put forth to make these two races go off.The two races were almost polar opposites of each other but both in the end ended up being very entertaining. The flagging and communications were very good over both weekend and appreciate the adjustments you made as each day progressed. The accuracy of calling Track Limits vs. On and Offs at 1, 8 and 10 and differentiating them was nothing short of spectacular. I think you had roughly a 92% accuracy based on reviews we did on them. The Race Director was very appreciative of that as he became very comfortable in making decisions when the camera were locked down. A Special Thank You to Maury Starr for organizing both weekends and most importantly working with me to get up to speed understanding Watkins Glen. His information given to me really got me up to speed very quickly in being able to best work with RSI. On a personal note. It was great seeing a lot of familiar faces on your home turf. I have been told that I needed to go to Watkins Glen. I am very grateful that I was finally able to come and was blown away by the circuit. Watkins Glen is such a cool place and I can’t imagine what it was like back in the day with F1 running around the circuit. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and being so welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to The Glen and enjoyed the surrounding areas. I look forward to returning in a couple of months. Again, Thank you for all of your hard work as it did not go unnoticed. Look forward to seeing many of you very soon whether it be at WGI or elsewhere at another race. Thanks, Bill Armitage

| Letter From Joe Green - IMSA Weekend |
| 7/05/2021
Joe Green has sent RSI a letter regarding the IMSA weekends:
Maury,
I just wanted to reach out and pass along how honored and thankful Watkins Glen International is to have you all a part of our team.
IMSA [Six Hours, and the WeatherTech 240] wasn't the easiest or smoothest events ever, but RSI and WG Track Services stepped up to the plate and showed the world that we are the best. This was the first time that WGI hosted back to back major televised events and on top of that right at the end of a worldwide pandemic. Everyone knew staffing was going to be the biggest issue, but your dedicated team members showed when we needed them the most and their professionalism made both events huge success. Thank you for everything you do for us and I hope you understand it's very much appreciated.
Many Thanks!!
Joe
