The thing that I wish to stress here is that I am here to help the various racetrack owners/proprietors/promoters in getting the sport of short track racing as much exposure as it possibly can so that it grows to new levels. I am part of the solution, not a part of the problem. I am on their side. But, when I was there on Thursday, I felt like they viewed me as the enemy. And that's ridiculous. Myself and the two other guys I brought were the only three individuals in the house to document the "Grand Re-opening" of the Terre Haute Action Track for posterity (via video). The two other cameras were there to get action from one side of the track, making me the only videographer in the place who could see all the way around the track, and they reduced my work to what amounts to "home video". My perspective was awful. And, to top it off, I had to pay $75 just to have those poor sightlines. Come on...Can't we do better than this?
You are right. This needs to be rectified before the next event. Somehow, some way.

I couldn't agree more. Getting the message out there is the biggest promotional tool you can find? Other than the website and some racing sites, Where can you find a USAC schedule? TV, News papers, Weekend whats happening magazines are where it's at.
