Let me know the details on fundraiser... I can't seem to be able to get a car sponser but could raise a couple of $Ks from local business for a good cause... Need details on how much exposure...

confused....is it at MSR or the Grand Prix course with K walls? And it mentions "SCCA-Licensed" drivers....isn't that a big problem with NASA?!!! I would be interested in this event for sure.

It is the Grand Prix circuit. The PR guy probably doesn't know the difference between NASA and SCCA. I wasn't involved with registration last year so I don't know what licenses they will allow. The entry fee is around $5000. There is no TV coverage and it is 1 class, run whacha brung. Out of reach for the average Club Racer but cool for me because I get to "Race Direct" with the big boys and girls. I am in race control with all of the camera angles and I got to be in the starters stand at the beginning of the ALMS race. :P
