Calling ALL racers......

[Lucky 13]

I've seen a lot of talk on the boards about changing/adding classes to the leagues to attract new racers. I really like the idea of a novice stock and mod class, but, I feel no matter how many classes/division we add if we don't get the word out that there is league racing the changes are worthless. DERBYWORX has already done a great thing with the MAC TOOL fliers, but it can't stop there. When I had the North Coast open last year I promoted it locally. I handed out fliers at the local Scout pack races and also at the District race, and it was very successful. Many of you, like myself, are involved in Scouting, Awanas, Royal Rangers, etc.. in one way or another. What I am asking everyone to do (now that derby season is starting to get going) is to take the time to make up a flier and hand them out at the local races to the kids and parents and invite them to join us. A simple flier with the leagues web-sites on it and a brief description is all you need. If every racer on here was able to recruit 1 or 2 racers to join in on the fun of league racing look how fast we could grow !! I will be promoting the leagues at this years Cub Scout races and I hope you will all do the same.

Thanks Everyone !!

Bob,

Great idea.

If you or anybody else with the skills to come up with a nice flier would post it here, the rest of us could copy it to pass out ourselves.

Bob, that is an excellent idea, exposure will bring them in and the fun and excitement will keep them coming back and hopefully telling others. I am volunteering my wife to make the flyer, she does it professionally, just let me know if that is ok. Also, let me know what info to include and we will post it here for all to download. If someone else would rather do it, that is fine also.
Our derby isn't until January, but my wife and I are running it this year, so we will definitely promote the leagues and races. It would be great to get a sponsor for the races also. Being involved heavily in scouts this year, and having to do alot of fundraising, I was surprised at how many companies were willing to give donations, just to have their company name and logo placed somewhere at the event. Maybe we could promote the leagues on their website in exchange for their company being a sponsor of the race. Just a thought.

Great idea Bob, we can always count on you to get the ball rolling.

A standardized flier sounds awesome Parrot, we could use it here at Derby Worx as an added stuffer and to the hobby shops also.


Keep-em coming guys.

Thanks guys, glad you liked the idea. It worked well for the North Coast Open and I was happy to see some scouts from the district race participate in the NCO. Parrot, I sent you an e-mail with the stuff I had on my flier. Thanks for volunteering to make it up for us !! I look forward to seeing it. Great idea Bill to put the fliers in with your orders !! Grass root campaigning, you can't beat that !!
