I guess I still don't know what you'd want then. What I'm used to people wanting when they say "support from the publisher" is either prizes or official recognition. The vast majority of events at Gen Con have neither, and you don't need them.

Since I only play with our group at a physical table, it's not that big a draw for me to play privately organized games with folks from the Internet. I'd rather show that "Yes, you can still play Car Wars!" by running events that are available to everyone, which is what we did for many years and reintroduced a bunch of folks to the game.
Don't let me stop you, though. I can understand wanting to meet and play against folks face-to-face. :)
You could, if you're going to be bringing your stuff anyway, always run event(s) for the public as well as your privately-organized game.
As far as next year goes for SPARK, I suspect we will not be running a Car Wars event at Gen Con 2017. If you want priority placement as an independent GM you need to submit events in late January. As the person who organizes events for our little group I don't want to commit us to running a version of the game that we don't know and may not even be available before the convention but I also wouldn't want to go up against the new version if it is available.
