I spoke with Shannon and Bekah about this during the unique performance show as we mostly got to sit around and BS the entire time. The media guy's job will be to spend all weekend in the pits and do interviews and get to know the racers. He might even do small writeups on each of us or atleast keep bios on us for reference. I think they are still working out the details and formats and are developing the plan so they have something to work with. You can't just shit out a marketing/publicity plan over night and they ARE looking for inputs so please forward your creative and positive/negative thoughts to them. They have email addresses on the NASATX site and they want us to be happy with the results. Afterall, WE are the heroes going into print for them! They got to make us look good and with this group, that is sometimes a tough task! :wink:

FYI, I just got off the phone w/ Shannon regarding this and other issues. She said that NASA TX would be handling the race reports effective 2007. They have nothing planned nor have ever had anything planned for these last two events of 2006.

If any of you are dissatisfied with the timeliness and/or lack of race writeups, please contact Shannon and/or NASA Texas.

So apparently this isn't the case Adam based upon Michael's post above.

Tech is being done (or actually not done) by people who don't know or understand the details of our rules. The race reports are now being done (or again actually not being done) by someone who doesn't know anything about us.

I could not agree more, and now that people are seeing the results... I see people second thinking the whole thing...

It is usually better to just fix and repair what is in place than start all over...

I will shut up now.

Interesting. Definitely not what was explained prior to the TWS event.

We did that for, 3 years. It worked well ( granted, with a few hiccups, not perfect, but for the most part, it did work ) until this earlier year. Why, you ask?

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

No funds to race, Came down Sunday to see final race of the season and to give praise to the 2006 champions and to pickup AI/CMC tee shirts. The shirts were not there but it was really good to see you guys. Congrats to Pederson/Marvel (AI), Burch (CMC) and Smith (AIX).
