Comon folks...it would be a REAL shame for them to have to abort the rest of the season due to lack of funds when they are sitting in 1st place in a division where they are competing with factory sponsored cars. ANY amount that folks can spare will help. I can't afford much myself but every bit helps.

Thanks. It not looking very good for us to continue. Not much money coming in. I guess we may just be able to do one more event.

Just out of curiosity, how much does an event cost all told (including travel, lodging, food, fuel, race related costs, etc)?

Any luck trying to get local VW Dealerships to chip in something? Any love from VW themselves?

Like most forum members, I don't have huge money to put up, but I'll toss $20 into the hat if you take the sound off of your web site's front page. ;)

Thank you very much. We have no large sponsors other than Rocketchip and Kerma, but they are by no means LARGE. It cost about $3000-5000 per event. It would be great to have a corporate sponsor, but we have had no luck with that.

We do appreciate all the donations and we will continue to hope that we have enough to continue the fight.

We are all just regular working guys, taking to the big dogs with unlimited money. That sure pisses them off.

It is really dissapointing that VW has not got behind you with some factory sponsorship especially considering how well you are doing and that you are competing against other factory teams.

You could also see about getting a Biofuel Co-op to chip in a couple of bucks for some add space on the car. Heck, maybe you can talk a local co-op into filling your tank at the race. It'd be free fuel for you, and a great advertisement for them.

Well VW probably is'nt too keen on thier BioD use...they certainly don't want to be seen as promoting the use of ANYTHING beyond 5% BD...maybe trying to get into the sponsiorship pockets of a company like ADM or one of the other Big Ag companies is an optiong though. They are always looking for ways to promote thier Bio Fuels side of the business to the public. They really would like to be the next "Big Oil" on top if thier dominance in the Ag business. I think the only way they could court VW's sponsrship would require them to turn thier backs on BD.
