Here is the letter i received today, once you read it let me know what i should do.



You or your Company appears to be the registered owner of the above-referenced domain name, and you are the Administrative and Technical Contact for this website. According to networksolutions.com, you created this domain name on 6/18/05, and it expires on 6/18/06.



You or your Company?s use of the domain name, the monstermile.com, is confusingly similar to our domain name, monstermile.com. We are the owner of the Monster Mile trademark (USPTO Reg. #1,705,113) and Monster Mile service mark (USPTO Reg. #2,105,583) as well. Consumers may think that ?themonstermile.com? is used, approved or permitted by us. Further, we view your use of themonstermile.com domain name as an infringement of our registered marks.



Please contact me as soon as possible, but no later than August 17, 2005, to discuss this matter and make arrangements to transfer this domain name to Dover International Speedway, Inc.



I look forward to hearing from you.

Well if they own the trade mark: The Monster Mile... They have the right to take the domain from you....

I had a couple domains taken this way too... Not worth the legal fees to fight it because it will probably cost more to fight and lose.
