I would love to see solidarity among the racers at this time to stand up to JC to let Qatar race or no one shows!
Rumor had it Geico was threatened not being allowed to race Key West if they raced in OPA.
The exceptions were the OSS sites that later became part of the OPA schedule and Atlantic City being as that AC is in Goodell's home state and major sponsor of the event.
The track record shows they were the only events they participated in with OPA.

One year Lucas Oil had a sponsor's product that the team wanted to offer in the pits but being as said sponsor didn't put money in JC's pocket, they were not allowed to offer the product....
So I think JC would have been able to find a way to prevent any promotion of another series on his grounds.
But let's really think about it, the audience for such promotion is terribly small. By now, I am sure everyone in offshore is aware of the new org.....

Not sure about that Steve.

The is vending or dispensing of a product for profit. Usually these are practices the promoter approves and realizes revenue from. If you do not have specific approval in advance I do not believe you can sell products at a event. This is not unique to Offshore the same holds true for all types of events. People say they want the races to be more professional and that implies commercial but they resist the commercial approach? I would not be surprised if the RTA mentioned above becomes a leverage for the team owners to threaten anti trust action against NASCAR concerning access to large sponsor's they (NASCAR) take for themselves. That is the racing business and it is just that a business.

Steve is correct all and any vender is welcome in Kw pits to sell their wears. Pretty simple to get the paper in advance, food venders, t shirts, oil manufacturers, sunglasses, race videos , ect. This has to be done in advance with the SBI office.

I would welcome someone honestly trying to build something better, but starting by tearing down the sports anchor events is a curious way to start construction. For the record all of the successful motorsport franchises have been run by benevolant dictators.
But what would I know!
Carry on!
