SPONSOR GRANDPAUL’S RACE TRIP TO WILLOW SPRINGS & PORTLAND INTN’L.
I’m reaching out to everyone on the forums to ask for help to make a race trip out West to run AHRMA’s Willow Springs & Portland International races. THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS FOR CONTRIBUTING! It’s not tax deductible, and there’s not much chance I’ll be able to give you any publicity from the winner’s podium.
Basically, I’ve got my expenses paid to get to L.A. & back home by delivering a client’s bike and hauling back 2 bikes for a guy here in Laredo.
What I need help with is the extra cost to renew my AHRMA license, get race insurance, pay race entry fees & fuel costs, and travel the extra 1,900 miles round-trip (gas & hotels) between the two race events.
I’ve calculate about $2,000.00 to cover it, so perhaps 20 people kicking in $100, or 40 people putting in $50 each would make it happen (or some combination). What the heck, if you’ve got 2 grand to throw away, one reply is all I need!
So, forget that new rear tire, forget the new bar-end mirrors, chain and oil change; it’s the chance of a lifetime to say you sponsored some scruffy old dude on a scruffy old Triumph to get in a couple of races.
This request is for PLEDGES ONLY. If I get enough solid responses by April 10th, I’ll contact everyone with details on how to get the money to me in time to get on the road, April 19th at the latest.
Thanx for your consideration, and by all means let me know if you think I’m being a jerk for asking for money for nothing, especially in this tough economy.
