Trademark News

• Adam Dorey (the voice on the speakers at Rocky Mount Race Week) is leading the fight to challenge the ‘drag and drive’ trademark. In a recent update on Facebook he covers some of the history of the sport and how the term came be used with our events.

  If you are a resident of the United States, you may show your support by having your contact information included on the official document that will be filed with the United States Patent & Trademark Office in the very near future; instructions are included in the Facebook post.
