Default Re: How do YOU..... promote drag racing?

I was involved in the "Thunder in the Streets" promotion at Norwalk three times (crowd estimates of 10K each year), and the one time that they did a pre-event show for Milan's national event (only 6-8 of us racers I think, but it was coupled with a regular street rod type show in a park). I believe Thunder in the Streets was a major component in beginning our relationship with Duck Tape.

- open trailer
- open pit area (plus the "gas station shows") - always talk with fans, educate, inform, and entertain
- display opportunities
- baseball card-sized hero cards (I make these. Much more affordable than 8x10's, and kids love them. Easy to carry and distribute)
- t-shirts (designed myself)
- Drag racing resources available online: Guide to Bracket Racing, Track Directory, etc.
- Guest Instructor on ThisIsBracketRacing.com, sharing knowledge with racers from novice to advanced.

Drag racing is quite literally my life - eat, sleep, and breathe.
