"SCCA Sponsor Info from SEMA"

Jeff, Can you please post the following on my behalf?Thanks,
Garret
Rallists,
I wanted to let everyone in the rally community know that we will not be making a sponsorship announcement here at the SEMA show this week. Lest this raise any questions I want to fill everyone what is taking place.
Firstly, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>we do have a signed agreement with a major new partner for the ProRally Championship.<<<<<<<<<<<<<
And look!
>>>>>We finalized this arrangement<<<<<< just prior to LSPR and were optimistic that we could put all of the pieces in place to make a proper announcement at the SEMA show which was just two weeks away at that time.
Unfortunately, at a show like SEMA where you could run a entire rally season if you had a nickel for every flat-screen plasma monitor that you see and there a million things going on, it is important to make these type of announcements right to have the impact that we all desire. Given the timing of our agreement, there were no available slots to host an official press conference at the show or to secure any alternate space and time at the show to do this type of announcement justice. Our only other option would have been to put a press release out amongst the hundreds of others in the media center. Both our new partner and we felt that it was more important to make the announcement right with proper signage, vehicle decals, video presentation, etc. in order to give people something to talk about.
Rest assured there will be an announcement soon. We are currently exploring a number of other venues and events that will provide an appropriate setting and access to the media and plan to make this announcement within the next 30 days.
Thanks you all for your enthusiasm and support of rallying and I?ll keep you posted on when and where this announcement will take place.
