well, that's good news for a change, i just landed a MAJOR (well for me anyways, a brandname with $$$ to spend) for my car ...

and i'm not even ready to take it to the track yet.

oh my, what's a (wannabe) racer gonna do?
Andy

cool!

lemme know if they have an international program for sponsoring "almost ready" cars

Damn, I gotta get summa them sponser thingies.
I could be rich & famous instead of just being gud lookin'.

I know sombody trying to sell their race trailer.
Need one???

Someone with that much money MUST see how great it would be to sponsor a whole TEAM of cars in different regions hint:hint

Yer car's gonna look funny with Midol decals all over it.

Good score dude!!!

A whole bunch of 914s all carrying different colors! Think of it! Tell them that if they sponsor enough of us it would be
like the ______ 914 not the porsche 914!

damm, and i thought you were too young to have used KY yourself. guess i was wrong!

no guys, seriously, this would be cool ...

so far, the offer includes:

- paying for the track fees
- paying for food and lodging
- pay for equipment with sponsor logo on it. driving suit, shoes, gloves, helmet etc.
- paying for tires and gas

all i have to do is run the sponsors advertising on the car and allow their "pitgirls" to set up a tent with sponsor marketing material and give-aways as well as "posing" with the pitgirls for magazine ads ...

lets see....mmmm why would you want all that...
hell you could buy all that stuff yourself and not have to deal with those annoying girls running around you all the time....

Good luck with it....I personally will stay unattached from the evil corporate sponsors and the silly women in small tight fitting clothing.......

Rich

the bad news is that the "pit girls" are guys in short shorts and shaved legs, and the sponsor is fetish magazine out of San Francisco!

When will you tell us the sponsor?

I've been debating asking some of the local shops to sponsor me..

They see the cars potential...

Yur gunna look funny in a Bunny suit..

Congrats dude. You deserve it..

Grats!

Good luck Andy! When's the 915 come in?

i'll know more next week, but they seem serious about it.

Andy

Great opportunity Andy!

Can they get you a cammo. driving suit?
Elliot

Your car will look great with an Exlax banner across the windshield, and a brown stripe.

Andy,
Say Hi to Larry and Jimmy Flint for me!

Andy,
If you don't close the deal tell them they could sponsor a "real" 914 race team on the east coast. (one that gets mucho internet video downloads)
Good luck!

better make sure you read the small print in the contract
before you know it, they'll try to save on the lodging and you end up with all those pitgirls in 1 motelroom...

eh... wait a minute...
nevermind

sounds like it may be time for a 2nd car? A dedicated track car and a street car

OK, since nobody else has done it yet...

(so long as they aren't from that fetish mag seanery mentioned....we don't want another flame-war about what is and is not appropriate to post in the garage...)

Andy,

Glad you have some $$$ support to pursue your passion. Can't wait to see you (and them) at one of our venues. Will you be doing autox too or just open track stuff ??

Are we gonna have to clean up our act with girls in the paddock ?



Kudos to You,
Greg

Pit Girls from Red Bull or some other energy drink? Congratulations!

So did you find an experienced driver yet?

Big congrats Andy!!!! you are one lucky bum!!

This isn't the same people who were running the "golf tourney" out there last year.

Ya know the one with lap dances and oral gratification on the turn.
