In what is surprising news to pretty much the entire industry, Wade Rich made it publicly know on Friday evening via his social media page that he left his position with Orlando Speed World.

Wade has been a staple at both SGMP and OSW for years now. Whether it was working events like Lights Out, No Mercy, Sweet 16, World Street Nationals, or No Guts No Glory, you always saw Wade help to lead the pack and to make events run smoothly.

The time had apparently come to make a change and that is exactly what Wade is doing. I spoke to him and as of right now he is just playing it by ear and taking things day by day. A free agent if you will. The future is yet to be written. Wade has a long history with many different tracks over the years and has certainly shown his value within the industry.

Wade let me know the when anything develops in his world onto where he lands next, he will certainly let me know so that we can let the drag racing world know. We at E3xtreme wish Wade nothing but the best in his future endeavors. I am sure wherever he ends up, they will be glad to have him and he will do great things to improve on whatever needs improvement.

For now, though, Wade will take some time to evaluate the needs of him and his family, while fielding calls from anyone wanting his services.
