So I have the go ahead to build my GP 914 to take to the SCCA Nationals next year. I landed a big sponsor who is going to help pay for a good deal of the stuff I need but would love to find more sponsors. I am building the car from scratch so I will need everything. Anyone have any experience in this or want to help me out?
I will be campaigning this 914 all the way to the National event and I believe we have the talent to take 1st and 2nd in the class. I have the advice of a few great mechanics and even one who has built a national winning 914. Any and all advice is also aprieciated. |

I havent looked but do 1.7 and 1.8 cars run G Prepared? Had never thought about that class. A tweeked 1.8 might just be the car in that class if thats what runs there. What is weight minimum and weight calculation for that class?
Non automotive sponsors are probably your best route. Honestly I dont think many automotive companies in traditional sponsorship realm are intersted in your car being GP AX National Champion. I think finding sponor that thinks its cool to sponsor a race car would be best route. |

Honestly I dont think many automotive companies in traditional sponsorship realm are intersted in your car being GP AX National Champion. I think finding sponor that thinks its cool to sponsor a race car would be best route. 1.8l down to 1600lbs. Greg has read all the rules on it and he is a master at "interpreting" what you can do and can't do. The biggest factor I am looking into know is the engine. I have a good deal of people I need to talk to but have everything laid out fairly well so far. On the sponsor side, I think I am going to contact some of the venders I have used in the past (since I am going to need to use them again) and see if they will send my stickers for the car. I am happy to help spread the name. If they want to give me a discount or throw me a few parts, awesome. If not no biggy as they have already helped me by supplying the parts. Blue printing the car took a long time to get everything planned that I want to use but I'm finally finished and have some backing. Now I need to get a tub and get started building. I have three or four 914s I need to get finished before I can bring this home but the work starts soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . |
