"contacting the TV crew" is (or was at M-O) fairly easy. I went last year to assure they could (would?) pronounce a Formula Mazda driver's name correctly. I have been helping him for a while.
I went to the TV booth, which was across from the T&S tower at MO. Knocked on the door and it was Greg Cramer (sp?) and another announcer (don't remember who). They talked to me for a few minutes, and was happy to have me stop by. Now, this was NOT during the races when they are trying to do live-to-tape broadcasts, but was during a break during the race day. I won't likely be at the Runoffs this year, so I'm NOT volunteering. Just need someone to do a little bit of legwork and find the right people. They would be HAPPY to have REAL information on our class instead of ad-libbing their way through with what they may or may not know.

Once we have gathered them together, then we select a person to be the class rep who will then contact the TV crew and review the list with them. The goal being that the commentators will really hit the nail on the head when they talk about our cars during our race. Hopefully, this will make our class a little bit more attractive to the racing public. I hope that this is helpful.
