"I am both excited and flattered to have been selected for the Track Manager position by the Board of Directors," said Cook after the announcement. Cook, who began racing motorcycles at Oxford Dragway in 1997, founded the Maine Motorcycle Drag Racing Association (MMDRA) in 2006. MMDRA was created to revive and promote the sport of motorcycle drag racing in Maine and makes Oxford Dragway it's home track. "We're excited to have Andy on board and we feel he will be a great asset to the track," said John Sloan, Vice President of Oxford Dragway. "Andy's success in reviving the motorcycle class shows he has the skills and ambition to manage the development of new programs and special events at the Dragway." Of the upcoming 2008 racing season, Cook said, "I look forward to both challenges and victories during the 2008 season. The racers, fans and sponsors of Oxford Dragway are the backbone of the facility. I will make it my personal goal to ensure each of them is provided with the best possible facilities, programs and entertainment while at Oxford Dragway. We will no longer be known as 'Maine's best kept secret' - the 2008 season will put Oxford Dragway back on the map!" Cook is a 23-year veteran of the Maine Army National Guard where he is currently a Chief Warrant Officer 2. He lives in Clinton with his wife, Sharon, and children, Dylan and Olivia.
