RodneyRodriguez Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 If any SAS drivers or car owners are interested in some good media exposure send me a private message. Media night is this Saturday August 9 and we are looking for some cars for these folks to get out and drive around the track. It will not be a race of any kind just a chance for these folks to get out and feel what we do every weekend and talk about us on radio and tv !! This should be a good deal for the car owners/drivers and SAS as well, hopefully we can get as many cars as possible involved. Rodney 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwill Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 I hope SAS drivers are responding to Rodney's request. I have just done follow-up calls with the media, and it sounds like the three major network stations are planning to attend on Saturday night. KSAT is even planning to do a live broadcast from inside a race car for the 5P newscast. They won't be racing your cars . . . just taking some hot laps. We need your help in promoting San Antonio Speedway! Here's your chance to see your car on TV and maybe also get an interview!!!

tazmachine69 Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Wish my engine was working good enough because I would bring my car. Im not racing this year so dont have anything to loose by letting someone drive it. Only problem is, to find someone who would actually fit in the seat and not have to drive with their knees!

RodneyRodriguez Posted August 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Hey Jean, Does it run at all ??? Bring it out and maybe if there is media-type that doesn't want to actually drive he or she can just sit in you car ?? Rodney 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I know Debbie Williams, and others, have put a TON of work into making this Media Blitz thing work. We've all been complaining that the TV media doesn't pay any attention to us. Well.. they'll be there at SAS Saturday afternoon for their 5:00 P.M. live newcasts! SSOooo... bring your cars out early. Let the sports reporter and cameradude ride around in your car. We all owe a huge THANK YOU to Deb and her crew. I'm sure she'll let us know who pitched in to help with this.

ROMCO......TAMS .... MODIFIEDS .....TSRS ....SUPERSTOCKS ....TEXAS PRO SEDANS ..... TRUCK SERIES .... DWARFS/LEGENDS .... and anybody I missed!

RodneyRodriguez Posted August 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Way to go Mel !!!! I'd like to thank all the people that have decided to be a part of Saturday's deal.....it's great to hear from everyone. Jean, sound like the car is in good shape, bring it on my friend !! We can still take on cars and drivers so if anybody wants to be a part of the event, send me a message and we will get you involved. It appears the San Antonio TV stations are all over this deal but we don't have to stop there, lets get Austin-area media involved as well.......

tazmachine69 Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Rodney, Let me know because if they do i have 2 suits and 2 helmets someone could use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwill Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Nick, First of all, thanks for your personal support and advice! Chuck Licata has also been a big help. He is very familiar with press interactions, and he has given me some great guidelines. And Mike Sepich has been very receptive and helpful with all of our ideas and plans. Rodney Rodriguez (SAS Sporstman #22) has been doing a great job of coordinating the media drives in the race cars. Members of the SAS Common Interest Forum have helped out, especially in sharing their thoughts on how it should be done. I'd also like to express my special thanks to Harold Smith, Charlotte Newton, Trey Ware, Tom Harwell & Mel Krauss (Allison Legacy display) and Wayne Long from Aramendia Motor Sports (BGN display). I hope I haven't forgotten anyone! Now I just need to cross my fingers and hope the press shows up as planned! BRING ON THE CARS AND THE CROWDS!

NickHolt Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Deb, I was asked by some people who might want to bring their car to SAS on Saturday to help out, if there will be a pit pass charge for those volunteering their cars for this media event even though they will not be racing.

debwill Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Jean, We will address the safety issues in the press conference, but it wouldn't hurt to have extras on hand. Thanks, Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwill Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Nick, I have sent you a PM on our plans for the "non-racing" cars. Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
