ICM Registry to sponsor world champion powerboat racer Mike Seebold.
ICM Registry, the company behind the new .xxx top level domain name, is entering world class powerboat racing with world champion driver Mike Seebold to compete at this year’s Offshore World Championships in Key West, Florida.
We’ve already seen domain name company’s names plastered on the side of Nascar and F-1 race cars (Go Daddy), now we’ll get to see one on a powerboat.
The race boat will be unveiled at next month’s TRAFFIC conference in Fort Lauderdale on the weekend prior to the event.
A lot of people who go to watch boat races register domains and with the massive viewing of speed boat racing every weekend on national tv this sponsorship move was brilliant. Too bad Godaddy just went with nascar, poor Parsons 🙁
It still doesn’t make economical sense to register an expensive domain named blocked in half of the world, I wonder if that race boat would be allowed to race in India and China (countries blocking the .xxx)
@ mary
.xxx NOT blocked in China or India or , in fact, any country that we know of.
test for yourself
