BUT, we were told by our festival managment that we can not stop it because it is in a public arena format, there is no gate or entry as it is all free, therefore all entertainment is free also. We try not to push the issue.

This year we had the Spin Doctors on stage. Very different approach. They ASKED the crowd to film and post all they wanted. They said no one is buying albums so they wanted to expand by word of mouth to more people. Very happy crowd, and very happy workers. Kind of interesting concept. Perhaps we are getting TOO much attention to something they want to kill.
If NHRA enforces the No Video rule then it will be the down fall of racing , NHRA does absoutely nothing to support the Sportsman racing now > I am confused on why they don't want to have any type of racing to help racing in general . I have never seen any pros on U tube so why are they upset over the video of Sportsman???
