Did I just catch a shout out to GRM at the end of the latest cartrek series.

Bolian said to check out the Autotempest YouTube that they have grassroots motorsports content. I haven't heard the term used unless it was referring to the magazine or the site, but figured people probably do use it to refer to local stuff like autox and rallycross.. I also haven't seen any autotempest stuff on here.

So my question is, does GRM do stuff with autotempest or where they using the generic term grassroots motorsports?

"Grassroots" is a generic term in politics and sport. It just happens to be very well chosen for the magazine :)

We don't work with Autotempest, and Grassroots Motorsports is a registered trademark.

To quote the Rev. Ivan Stang, imitation is not the best form of flattery, imitation is the best form of a lawsuit wink

 

From what it sounds like, they didn't intend to say capital G capital M Grassroots Motorsports, but, yanno, dilution and all that.

You said Grassrootsmotorsports.

That's a misprint. It should say Grass  Roots Motor Sports.

I wasn't trying to snitch, I like autotempest, and like what they are doing with cartrek. I was hoping there was something coming down the pipe from them and GRM

Yeah it was inadvertently or unintentionally, which is dry snitching. Dry snitching is also intentional, in some instances lol.

There may not have been a shout out on autotempest, but The Autopian straight up linked us today.  I wonder if there was a bump in traffic from it?
