Why....

We need all the exposure we can get! We have a small, if any, fan base.
When it comes to promoting this hard working, fully invested, group of great racers, too say we are on our own is an understatement.

Now, anyone who wants to put together a pod cast or social media program to support and promote stock and super stock drag racing in a positive manner,
I say, more power to them! As long as it is done with tact.

As far as the covenants of “owning” the content of any event, and “using” it to promote said social media format. I think, under the current circumstances with regard to lack of spectators, the social media route is our last and best hope to promote.
After all, It’s not like sportsman drag racing is the NFL.

"official22yrs", I agree with the others. If you have something to say, SAY IT. Stop being cryptic. Either have the courage to say it coherently, or don't say anything.

When the NFL threatens to sue anyone who uses the word "Superbowl", because it's their property, I think it's an amazing case of a runaway ego. I'm no marketing genius, but I'll bet that there are a lot of companies that would love to have people spreading their brand by constant use of a product name.

So if the NHRA decides to go this route (they have in some instances), that's up to them. It would be foolish, as it would just chase people away. They seem to understand that the more people talk about their brand, the better for everyone!

But the NHRA hasn't brought this up, you have! (I think.)

Tell us who you are and what you are mumbling. You'll get more respect just by doing that.
