Motorsports webcast with SCCA influence

[LynnCombs]

A Motorsports Webcast and Radio show with a SCCA influence!

The SCCA version of Wind Tunnel? Well, not really, but beginning tonight, August 8, an exciting new broadcast venue for SCCA motorsports will hit the airwaves.

The Shifting Gears program was born of an interview with Kansas City Region members Bill Johnson III, David Bennet, and Jim Wheeler. A local radio/webcast program produced in Independence, Missouri invited the region members to talk about SCCA motorsports. The program, video taped and broadcast live on 810 AM - probably Kansas City’s top sports talk station – received over 2000 hits and the taping was posted on http://www.racinboys.com/ for viewing during the next week.

As they say, one thing led to another, and the result is now a weekly broadcast that will be hosted on a rotating basis by Ron Keith and Jim Wheeler from the region, and Mike Dickerson from the SCCA national office. The show will focus on and discuss road racing and SCCA events. The plan is to tell the public about how SCCA has influenced, and continues to influence, American motorsports.

Now, before you say “So what, it’s local” - it isn’t. The beauty of the webcast is that it truly reaches a world audience, and this is where you and your region come in! Please let us know about your local events, of any kind. Calling 888.883.6363 or locally 816.833.8553 during the broadcast, or e-mailing to the Racinboys.com forum will get your events on the air. Subsequently getting the information about news of the show out to your members and potential members will bring the spotlight on the SCCA like it has never been before.

The show’s hosts will also take any questions SCCA related and discuss anything you wish during the course of the one hour broadcast. Further, it will feature a guest each week ranging from SCCA competitors and officials to members at any level.

Wind Tunnel it isn’t, and it may take a couple of shows for the flow to smooth out, but you shouldn’t miss this opportunity to support the program. The show’s creators anticipate that with listener support and participation this initial foray into a real time SCCA broadcast will lead to a solid and informative weekly program serving to get the SCCA message out!

On Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM Central Time, set your computer’s browser to http://www.racinboys.com/ and listen in. Better yet, participate! If you can’t be available for the live show, you can view the broadcast any time on the Racinboys.com website.

We are looking forward this new opportunity where you can have a real and direct influence in making it a success!
