Hopefully Specialized will take the high road and do something like selling
the name rights related to Stumptown for $1.

Well since it is such a great race they won't require that the name be
changed because it is good PR for them. Under their logic it looks like
they are sponsoring the race but don't have to pay a thing.

It looks like Specialized thinks they are Starbucks who feels that they are
infrindged anytime someone uses the word Star.
