Hi,
Sorry to bother you all on here -
I'm looking to try and give something back to the drivers who race week in week out across the formula, but aren't really noticed too much in terms of race wins etc.
By that I mean, I'd like to sponsor a race - on behalf of the members of my site, racewall.net - perhaps the scottish championship for the f2s, saloons, minis, stock rods - thats 4 formula.
Ideally, I'd like to try and give £250(or equivalent of parts) to the top white or yellow roof home in each of there big races.
I'm asking you, if you would be interested in giving your support and pledging an amount to the cause - I'm not asking for a lot.
If every member pledged £1 - that would be over £1k we'd race to put back into the racing.
What I'm asking is say only £5, 10, 15 or 20 quid each, to help us reach a reasonable sum of money to hand over to the lower grade drivers, that will go a long way to help keep them on the track.
Whether it be as cash prizes, or as tyres or something, that is as yet to be confirmed.
I've contacted Paul Brown about this, and looking to see what is available - or we may even get to sponsor a full meeting, named from the site.
After all, the drivers put a lot of money into the racing these days, and without them, we'd have no racing - I feel its only fair that we give them something back - as a way of saying thank you for turning up week in week out, we hope you continue to do so.
Cheers..
Kevin
I'd put £50 into the kitty myself to get the ball rolling...

Good idea !! but a better idea is make it a joint venture.. sponser a meeting Ftooz/Racewall.net and make it more like a yellow Kettle type thingy.......not just for Cowdie ...........................I will donate a bit of cash... have you got a paypal clicky thing set up BUT ONLY FOR white /yellow grades
Yeah, there's a paypal thing set up..
sales@kmsitebuilder.co.uk is the paypal email addy
Mind state what its for etc, and who you are.. (username on whatever forum)
Doing it for Cowdie this time, and see how many people actually help out... If its a success, there aint no reason why we can't do it again, with ftooz on board.

Further to this, for everyone who donates £5 or more, will be entered into a prize draw to win two tickets for the saloon world final at Racewall. The draw will be made on the meeting for the F2 Semi's.
Tickets are courtesy of GMP, and thanks to Paul Brown for arranging this.

Anyone else interested...
Mind, 2 Saloon World Final Tickets up for grabs for all donations over a fiver
