The Sports Car Racing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP) has hired Gill Campbell as the new General Manager of Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca. Campbell was appointed as the interim GM late in 2001 and the SCRAMP Board of Directors recently voted to offer Campbell a one-year contract as GM of the facility.

Campbell’s background includes a 27-year history of event planning, promotions and public relations. Most recently, Campbell ran her own firm, Campbell Productions PR LLC. In addition to owning their own events, Campbell’s firm did contract work for the American Le Mans Series and the Monterey Historic Automobile Races.

SCRAMP also named Dennis R. Duke the Manager of Finance & Accounting, made Jane Balleisen the Promotions and Public Relations Coordinator and promoted Melanie Lewis to Hospitality Coordinator.

Duke replaces Kathy Wells, who took a position with Monterey County. Balleisen’s and Lewis’ positions were newly created.
