One of the list members posted his response to the wrong subject line and this subject got way laid so I will try again to get a volunteer. Hopefully, someone will step forward and present this to the TV people.

Nobody picked up on this a couple of weeks ago so let's try to get ideas together and then get a volunteer to present this list to the TV producers early in the week. Remember that the F500 broadcast is one of the MAJOR opportunities to market our class. Here is a starting point: F500 is a low budget formula road racing class that uses the following rules to keep the costs down: 1. Restricted Two Cylinder 2 Cycle snowmobile motor with Continuously Variable Ratio Transmission in place of a more expensive motor with a geared transaxle. 2. Rubber (elastomer) pucks inside metal cylinders in place of more expensive coil-over-shocks and no sway bars are allowed. 3. One piece straight rear axle with either chain drive or rubber cog belt drive in place of a three piece independent rear axle with ring & pinion gears. All of the above restrictions keep the cost affordable for the low budget racer. Please take this, improve on it and add more talking points so that the TV commentators become out best salesmen of the F500 class. Who is going to pick up the ball on this project? Another brainstorm idea = Keep a site with the Runoffs F500 video within the F500.org site so anyone can look at it at any time. When somebody asks about our class, we refer them to www.f500.org and tell them to look at the Runoffs video. Come to think of it, we need to add photos of the F500's running in the Solo Nationals as well. What do you think, Eric?
