Growing AI/CMC numbers

We should require AICMCTEXAS.com decals as part of our regional decal package on all AICMC cars.

This would be just one small step toward getting the word out and making information about the series available.

To a person, everyone I've talked to verbally or electronically has put forth more than a little effort to answer my questions. Even the "bad blood" that spills over now and then on the forums has, in most cases, enough hints of sarcasm and competition to come across as reasonable.

That being said, it wasn't easy finding you guys. I've been autocrossing since 1988, longtime reader of R&T and Autoweek and didn't really notice NASA and thus AI/CMC until a Driver's Edge event. I knew about SCCA from TAMSCC and other coverage. I like the idea of CMC over A-Sedan and, so far, have found the people more to my liking.

I agree the cars help sell the series. Somebody put several at a vacation bible school this past summer and they were a hit.

Flyers at your doctor, dentist, local watering hole, auto-parts place, etc. would all help promote visibility.

If somebody tells me how to get an 2007 AI/CMC T-shirt, I'll put the check in the mail.

NASATX had 4 cars at the Unique Performance event back in October, Porsche, Vette, AI mustang and CMC Mustang along with Jay's 35' trailer and banners...oh, and a legends car. Let's just say that the legends guy was busy answering questions ALL day....the other 4 of us sat around and got sunburned while trying to keep the dilinquent kids out of our cars. There were supposedly 12-15k people passing through that event....

This is NASCRAP territory gang. :(

Whatsammatta? Nobody bought into your "you outta run AI" story? Look, do me a favor Matt and go find that other sandbox you keep spewing about. Take your stick and stir over there. I'm sick of it here.

Wow! don't hold back, Mike ... let it go, brother. Tell us how you REALLY feel. 8)

My first exposure to CMC was ... ~2001 when NASA TX came to MSR-C. Glenn, James, Kevin, Chuck, Chris and me all ran one of the first events Jay and Shannon held, I think. This was way back when Kevin Williams was race director for NASA-Tx.

This was also the weekend Jay saved Andy Baritchi from being murdered and Glenn from a life sentence in Huntsville.

Good times ... 8)

Wow Mike, do you need a cigarette? I guess I will keep these things in mind next time I am on track with you.....but don't see anywhere in my last post that was negative. just filling in what NASATX did, and the lack of response our group got from the crowd.... Nicorette might be your friend.....?

Matt White,

Free Tip: Before you look into the sponsor stuff you mentioned in another thread you should maybe look into Carroll Smith and Ross Bentley’s books. Both of them have good sections about how to be a respectful professional racecar driver on and off the track.

It will do wonders with your future communication with your sponsors, racers and race organizations; it will also teach you to be humble if you either win or lose and help you get the respect of your fellow drivers, directors and race organizations.

DD

Can I get an "AMEN!".....

Amen.
