Alex Gilhart grew up spectating many races with his family at a very early age. At the age of 4 he got the opportunity to wave a flag in the flag stand one night at the former State Park Speedway. You could say that moment was the start of it all for Alex. Greg McKarns gave him his first real flagging opportunity at Madison International Speedway. Once he got started it didn't take long for Alex to fill his calendar and start working with more tracks and with other series that would total up to around 60 events a year. Flagging hasn't been his only role; Alex has been performed race director duties and also served as General Manager at Angell Park Speedway. At the end of 2025, Alex was names Series Director for the ASA Midwest Tour starting in the 2026 race season.

Luke Parmeter, an award winning filmmaker and content strategist, grew up hill climbing dirt bikes like others in his family. Losing a national title by .05 of a second weighed on his mind even after putting the dirt bikes aside in his teenage years. Through days of skateboarding with his friends, a passion for filmmaking and content creation grew. While attending UW-Stout for Multimedia, the desire to earn a national hill climbing title returned. The willingness to out work and out train others led Luke back to the podium and the accomplishment of capturing the national title he set out for. His payment for training at The Sandbox indoor riding arena was his filmmaking and content creation. That content creation and the growth of his website, LP Motocross, led to a phone call that gave him the opportunity to work for Arenacross and Supercross. As Luke looked to lessen his travel, he launched Luke Parmeter Productions. Luke still gets to work with Supercross, but has now been able to transform his motorsports mindset into a variety of different industries and companies such as Hardscape Mentor and Golden Eagle Log and Timber Homes.
