914 in Targa Newfoundland, Would this make sense? Options

I'm sure a lot of you guy's have seen this, but it's news to me and I think it's pretty cool. Brian Miller a guy that posts over on PP is entering a 914 in this years Targa Newfoundland rally. Looks like the car is going to look pretty stock but is something special. He's got a Raby 2270C and Patrick Motor Sports are preparing the chassis.

Here's a link to the PP post. Here's a link to the guy's web page.

This seems to me to be quite a statement about our cars. Here's a 30 year old car with some mods preparing for an endurance type of race. To me it seems kind of like the "Little Engine That Could" and I feel that an organization like 914world.com should get behind this effort. The guy is looking for sponsors, so, here's the question I have. Should we as a bunch of 914 enthusiasts get behind one of our own? I sure can picture a 914world.com sticker on that car. I'd like to see how people feel about this. I don't know Brian maybe some of you do and can chime in. From what I have seen it looks like he's going about this the right way.

Brad, when i brought this up my first thought was this is cool we should know about this. I haven't been around long enough to really have a feel for the priorities of the board with the exception of the obvious which is to enjoy these cars and spread knowledge. Certainly, the effort for Dave is a wonderful endeavor and I support it.

I suspect that the best way to support this effort is to do it individually, however, I thought it was appropriate to consider supporting it as a group. I plan to send a little something along with best wishes and I would encourage everyone to consider at least sending a word of encouragement.
