97car Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Oh brother here we go the name confusion has already started between San Antonio speedway and the dragstrip San Antonio Raceway. I was on who won.com and under the tracks link they had two press releases one under San Antonio Speedway and one under San Antonio Raceway,both dealing with the IHRA nationals coming up next weekend.

tqj3 Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 I wonder how much that confusion tied up San Antonio Speedway's phone lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sepich Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Not that I keep track of things like this but.... All incoming calls are routed through a computer showing time, date, etc. Since last Thursday I have logged over 400 calls. Less than 10% were calls related to San Antonio Speedway. Over 90% wanted information about the Amalie Nationals. There is a positive side to this though. It has given me an opportunity to meet some potential fans and sponsors.

Boerneracehounds50 Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 I just sent a message to whowon about getting that changed,San Antonio RACEWAY should have there hands slapped or something for Naming thier track so close to Sa Speedway,wasnt a good business Idea,to much confusion.Other companies have had legal issues of naming the business so close to thiers and causing problems.The track in Marion has done good to over come all the people in the area battles,why he would name it so close to the other???

rebelracewriter Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 I guess maybe I should have prefaced the press release I forwarded to whowon.com. to explain the difference. But hey Mr Sepich, I'm glad I could give ya a little help without even knowing I was. Do I get a bonus for sponsor leads? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boerneracehounds50 Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 I guess if you look at it from San Antonio Speedways point,guess its good free advertisement,might draw a fan or two and would be S.A. Raceways loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debwill Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 The advertising budget for the SA Raceway event must have been a bunch! I'm constantly hearing ads on both radio and TV. I even saw it as a headline on the mysa.com website! I didn't check the paper today, but I'll bet there's some big coverage there also. Is anyone planning to go? I'm just curious about the payoffs from so much advertising. As I've heard (and proven) many times before in the sales world . . . "It takes money to make money!"
