Well I really don't care who the sponsor is, we just can't have any compete with the event sponsors (eg. no discount tire direct) I am budgeting the event with zero sponsor contribution, I feel the more sponsor involvement we have the better chance we have of feilding a compeditive entry. last year 4th overall and Economy class winner was a supercharged Civic SI which I know the Spec V is compeditive against. The V Falls into the economy class with a base MSRP under 20,000 (Just) If we make a list of parts and spares, and I'll prepare offer letters to the diffrent manufacturers of those parts. I have a set of cheap chineese inverted coil overs but I will use whatever is offered, I am not a brand whore.

I have Prepared a couple sponsorship packages before, once you have a nice tight package that you can run off on the color printer in bulk. you shotgun out a bunch. Email is a waste of time, Hardcopy is the only one that gets even remote attention, out of 100 packages if you get 2 responses you should be greatful.

Nissan and Nismo allready have precident for one lap entries.

apparently the entrants are showered with so much swag that it easally eclipses the $2500 per car entry.

as for who drives which event, I figured the compeditor would rotate based on who was fresher on that given day. (not the person who drove through the night)

and of course your "in" I couldn't imagine anyone I would rather have, at least it will assure that "Duck" brand tape products are on board.
