Have been asked by a few different people that know im a lil into boats and the racing. They have all told me there was no advertisments prior in any of the local papers nor was there any results afterwards. Is this true or did they miss them ?

I did hear a few local racers talk about the lack of advertising, but I did not go into detailed conversion with them about it. But most of the people I spoke with at restaurants, gas stations and stores all knew there was a race in town.

i just searched www.app.com which is the local areas largest publication and i'll be damned if i can find anything ? was just wondering if someone dropped the ball etc...told a few people where i spent my weekend and what i was doing and they were all like "I HAD NO IDEA" bet ya spectators woulda doubled plus if there were any radio or paper publication of the event. I remember when they used to hang banners across the streets...ie Benihanna, Walsh Offshore Gran Prix, Catena Offshore gran Prix etc...

i know prior to the race i contacted a friend of mine a a local radio station 95.9 WRAT and asked him to do a shout out to the Jersey Boys and asked if he could make mention of it on the air and he said that the station and Jenkinsons didnt do business together and therefore he couldnt help me...but did give a shout out to the Jersey Boys...shout out was Thunderstruck by AC/DC
