Everybody can help out

[GreenGSX]

As I blog away at the various mechanical projects to get our VR4 rolling again I've been getting lots of inquires from people who want to help out. Although we haven't launched our marketing campaign yet we have been working on establishing a "presence" in the DSM community. From there we hope to build a buzz about the project that might lead to some sponsorship opportunities.

So what can the "everyday" type of guy do to help out?

1. Visit the thread or blogs on DSMtuners add a post or comment. Visit our OLOA web page and leave a comment. Tell your friends that three nut-jobs are taking a 17 year old car with 190K on the clock racing for 10 days and 3000+ miles. Here are some links.

2. The next time you talk to a vendor ask them if they've heard about us and if not let them know. Using our web page and DSMtuners we have the ability to reach 25K+ people not to mention the MotorTrend coverage. The cool part is talking about it is free!

3. Keep your eyes open for marketing opportunities and if more information is needed you can go to the 2 websites listed above or drop me a note and I'll take it from there.

4. In the next week or so we will have our marketing web page ready. On that page you can learn about the different levels of sponsorship available and if one fits you then you too can be part of the RochesterDSM One Lap of America Team!


Thanks,

RochesterDSM OLOA team...

Right on!! Good job guys. What are you doing for parts that you break along the way? Or are you just hoping that you don't?

I think all the spare parts go in the back seat with Mike.

...or they probably will just hitch a small trailer and throw everything in there.

Rick's got it right. The plan is to bring a small trailer. What to put on the trailer is the million dollar question. I am using my years of road racing experience (read breaking my eclipse at the Glen) to make sure I cover all my bases. We are positively bringing a spare transmission, two wheels w/tires, alternator, ecu, coil, transistor, etc..etc.. Plus tools, a jack, and extra fluids.

Knowing that we can't bring everything or always have what we need on the trailer we are going to set up a network of "cool" guys along the route that we can call upon if we get in trouble. There is a google maps link on the main page of www.onelap.rochesterdsm.org that you should check out. If you are on or near our route and would like to be on the list, drop me a note with your contact information.

ah i just checked out that site and i saw a 2003 bmw m5, and bmw is the car choice, ultimate driving machine, at least if he breaks down he can hit up bmw dealers and take the loaner for racing instead
