RE: Bounds of tasteMan, I am way far from NASCAR type sponsorship. I =

dollars left over for tires. I really don't want to see this =
commercialized either, but it seems that it already is. We put on the =

for every little thing.
Oh, well, at least I get to race.

A general question for the list:=20

MG-Triumph=20
challenge? The situation is this: I've finally convinced the company =
I=20
represent to kick in some money for the Mid-Ohio SVRA race effort and =
invite=20
some clients to the race, especially since my territory is Ohio and =
western=20
Pennsylvania. Two or three small logos on the car plus lunches and=20

I don't want this to become like NASCAR, but I can't turn down =
sponsorship,=20
can I?=20
So it's now the Wirsbo/Bluemoon Racing/Triumph GT6. I have to =

I'd like to include the FOT decal on the car (or helmet) and the logo =
in=20
T-shirts we're having done for the occasion. Any problem there? BTW, =
I=20
could use a logo for my helmet.=20
