Default Point Pleasant Race Advertising ?

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 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
