There is a PR page?? Can't say I have access to that.

Hmmm..... I guess only people that were a part of it in the past have access. I was not aware of that fellas, sorry. Or I just forgot, i have hit my head a few times.Originally Posted by PremiumBlend
Maybe just start a new thread in the General Discussion for now.

I think it would be best to start a separate thread in the General Discussion area, since the PR Forum is by invitation only. Once we get some good, attainable ideas we can allow access to the PR Forum to those involved. I had forgotten it was limited access as well. :?

There has been an issue with using the Logo in the past - but only because it wasn't used with permission of the Board. Obviously if the intent of the flyer is to promote "The MRA" then use of the logo is fine. When it's used with promotions that aren't really "part" of the MRA or our sanctioned events, then it gets messy... Trivial distinction - yes, but part of our insurance and sanctioning/risk management requirements.Originally Posted by jplracing
Jim, unfortunately your offer to make the flyers again for 2009 never made it to the Board - so that is obviously why you never heard a response... ops:

Since finances are the main issue here, keep in mind that there's about a 20:1 ratio for the money brought into the club by a racer vs. a spectator.
A typical racer will spend about $180 on entries and maybe have 2 other pit crew for $10 each. A spectator brings in $10.
So if we're going to spend PR dollars and peoples' effort, we're about 20 times more financially effective getting racers to come out, rather than spectators.
James, would you agree that a large percentage of potential new racers or track day participants started off as spectators? That is how I first got interested. I realize that getting more spectators is not the ultimate solution for the club's current woes but I believe every little bit that we can do will help.Originally Posted by Jim 'smooth' Brewer
I think what Jim was trying to say is we need to get the spectators "involved" more. Try and convert them from a spectator to a racer b/c then more money can be made.Originally Posted by UglyDogRacing
At least that was my take on it...
I know what Jim is trying to say. Thanks.Originally Posted by PremiumBlend
Let's move this discussion here:

as it is occuring simultaneously in two different threads.
Thanks!
