Topic: Accepting Sponsorships?

[Fastscirocco]

I might be willing to sponsor the car if it looked like there was enough exposure for me...that
and the car would have to have the sponsor name predominately displayed.

thoughts?

Fast....first of all, what is the market price for the car?  Even if it is given to us we will still fall under the BS rules. 

# 4.4: BSF Factor: To prevent cheating, all cars will be inspected by a panel appointed by the organizers. At that time, all teams will be given an opportunity to describe the car's purchase and prep. If the panel believes the limit set out in Rule 4.1 has been exceeded, it will assign a Bullshit Factor (BSF) equal to one BSF per ten dollars above the limit. The entry will be docked one lap for each BSF assigned. (Ten dollars = one BSF = one lap.) Entrants are encouraged to bring all supporting evidence and make up plausible-sounding stories in advance.

    * 4.4.1: Appeal of BSF Panel Decisions: Get real. There's no appealing this decision. You're boned.

# 4.5: Sponsorships: Conned some hardworking corp into giving you parts or cash? Nice work, but it still counts toward the $500 total. We recommend blowing that sponsorship dough on other stuff instead--hotel rooms, gasoline, entry fees, pedicures, driver suits, personal male enhancement medication, travel expenses, Freudian therapy for the organizers...things like that.

the short answer is yes
the long answer is, lets talk about it and see what fits you and what we can do within the rules.

Agree with JM.

If it fits within the rules, we would be open to the entire concept.
A couple of things to keep in mind..... a car donated or sold needs to be considered a final transaction. The reason for this is due to a couple of things in the rule book.... first, if we actually win, the race promoter can, at their discretion, buy the car for the sum of $500. Second, at the mid point of the race, the crowd will choose a car to be crushed. It's sadistic and immoral, but it's the rules.... be prepared for anything you sell or donate to this cause to meet an ugly demise.....
