From a fan's perspective, I totally agree. One of the things which has irked me for years on here is that everyone wants to get announcements (sometimes multiple announcements) of their event on IOW, but few followup with a story. In fact, many don't even provide results. In my experience, one or two won't even respond to followup questions posted on their announcement thread. If they can't be bothered to provide a wrap-up for IOW readers, I am certainly not surprised if they don't follow up with local media.

It seems obvious that what you suggest (and providing results on here, including car #s, please) is part of a basic promoting package. If you provide results, we know who comes to your track, and if you provide a story we know what happened. If there is no followup, I assume you have no story to tell; low car count and boring racing.

On a personal note, for a couple of years I have kept track of who races at what local tracks. I decided to include that information on this year's drivers list. I had to stop trying for one of the Illinois tracks because it is so difficult to get results and car #s, even though they post the coming weekend's event on here every week. It doesn't take that much to follow up.

Some of you do an excellent job. The others should study what you do and learn from it.
