    Likely. He is the Marketing Director for HQ. Figure anyone of us would do the same if we could for CMC.

    No different than when we were at Miller and the whole broadcast was about FFRs. They paid for the coverage.

    So how much per CMC racer nationally would it take to buy the coverage?

    I just spotted a post where one of the SpecZ racers said that even with all the coverage focus they *still* missed the pass for the lead during that race. Buyer beware...

    Missed it *live* or missed it entirely? Possible it's on "tape" somewhere for an edit? Does the sponsor get all the raw footage?

    Thanks Ken for really trying to get things stirred up. Nobody in the Spec Z group asked for their class to be covered. Nissan most likely paid a sponsorship fee just like Ford could have. If Ford had paid for it do you think any GM car would have been seen for more than 60 seconds? Nope! Do you want your series on TV next year? You will need at least 10k. I was disappointed with the coverage too. As an official in the tower I wanted to see what was happening around the track.

    NASA is trying to build a class. Considering that 7 out of 11 Spec Z cars in the whole country were at this event, we're doing pretty good for a class that's been around for only 8 months. Not even 1/10th of all CMC cars were at the Championships this year. If Spec Z continues to grow, as I suspect it will, they won't be in Group C next year. Y'all need to contact Ford, GM, Toyo, etc. if you want to have more video coverage.
