There is currently, for me at least, an ad for the Portland race at the top of Drudge's page. :thumbup:


edit:
Still there after a couple refreshes.

Niche sport, niche marketing. All part of the 5-year plan.

:raises hand: I'm confused. Is this to be considered a good thing?:confused:

It's apparently showing up on lots of pages today.

Good.

It's called online advertising, yo. Ads are bought in packages and are run across many sites based on $$$ for eyeballs (or CPM) just like TV advertising. CCWS didn't just buy ads displayed on Drudge, you dweeb. :gomer

And oh, Drudge is one of the highest trafficked sites on the Innernets, BTW.

Any advertising is good advertising. As far as I can tell, this is CCWS only advertising!

Tristan Gommendy was the only driver to test in the rain at Portland. Will it be an advantage?

Just saw an ad for the CC Portland race during the local 5pm news on the ABC affiliate. About a 10 second spot. :thumbup:

Over the last couple days I've been noticing the same ads, but updated for the Cleveland GP, on a couple of news sites including Breitbart and SFgate.

Not a totally bad brush at advertising. Now if they could just start running them about 3 years ago.

I saw an ad for the Street Warriorz at the Cleveland GP on Myspace. Sounds like Champ Car is well on its way to returning to prominence.
