View Full Version : Newspaper covers RC racing here in FLA
RCThunder 05-02-2007, 12:23 PM We were fortunate to have our local paper do a full page article on our local RC racing. I already have received a few emails and calls about getting started in RC. Just wanted to pass this good news along....

pmsimkins 05-02-2007, 12:35 PM Very nice article! That will definitely get guys out to the track.
J-Dub Racing 05-02-2007, 12:54 PM Good artical. Helps me explain what I do, and why. Racing R/C cars is hard for some people to grasp. It is also not that great of a pickup line. "Hey i cant go out with you this weekend, I have to go and race my R/C car". Oh well it is fun anyway!

Hopefully we can get some local coverage for the paved oval nats this year.
swtour 05-05-2007, 03:59 AM pepe,
Like with most covereage...make sure it's solicited...
Don't wait for THEM to come to YOU...contact THeM and make sure they KNOW the event is happening plenty early and remind them often.
YEP! Thanks for the advice.

Good to hear Jon,david had a radio promo at the track today but we got rained out,it was really to promote a promotion for the station itself but he was going to use it to promote the track also, he told me he had some things planned to promote the nats as we get closer to the date.
tightline31408 05-05-2007, 08:29 PM mike you got another pm :thumbsup:
irvan36mm 05-05-2007, 11:34 PM Hopefully we can get some local coverage for the paved oval nats this year.Pepe- Look up the local TV stations websites in your area & email or call the Sports Dept or News Dept and explain your event. I did that one year at our first FOCARS race date here and 2 out of the 3 local news stations sent someone out to cover our race. One station came back out 3 weeks later to shoot some more footage. It works!

Fl Flash 05-06-2007, 12:14 PM " Later this year, a new, high-banked track will replace the flat oval."
Hey Mike, whats that all about ??? had FUN ( didnt run to well :( ) at the Lil short track few weeks ago!
We need more high banked tracks,flat carpet just don't cut it, imop,and the outdoor guys need to get off the foams and get on caps.

LOL, you got me all wrong Pepe ;) I,m ALL about Caps, Concrete and High banks! Used to race at Sugarhill before I moved to the Florida flatlands.
