Help Simon Get To Calder For Drift Fest...

[Simon-S14]

Hey guys, i have been invited to compete at the Drift Fest 2007 at Calder Park which promises to be a huge event, Its 32 cars invite only, and the organisers are pretty much only selecting drivers which they believe have the skills to do it. Most of the Drift Aust field have not been invited due to their contract clashes etc. I'm pretty keen to give this a red hot go as first prize is $10,000... hell third prize is still 5K.

The catch? The entry fee is $1500. While thats not huge compared to most motorsports, it is a tight stretch atm considering its the end of the year, and i have just spent up on my car on various things.

Im not asking for people to donate me money, far from it, what i am asking tho is if anyone who is willing to help out with sponsorship through their businesses, or know of businesses in SA that would like to help out a willing driver, then that would be great. I have a full proposal already done up and i'm 100% professional about it. My car has just been resprayed, new kit and its looking 100% sweet, its the perfect Blank canvas atm.

Theres an opportunity for Trade stands on the day, along with various other promotional methods.

theres more info on the event RIGHT HERE

If anyone is willing to help out, hit me up with an email on [email protected] or Pm.

Cheers

Simon

Before anyone has a cry about this thread, please take the time to realise that simon isn't just some inadequate driver wanting sponsorship, i recommend you check out some of the many video's of him on youtube ect before you leave rude comments here.

This is definitley the opportunity to get your product/workshop/brand out there as we are competing with some of the nations best drivers (minus some DA drivers but there are PLENTY decent drivers out there without their budget), plus a prize pool that has even the 8th place person getting $750!

^^^^^ Thanks for that, i think most people within the car scene in Adel know of who Simon is and how long he has been sliding for, especially the way he used to chuck his sprinter in turn 1 of Malllala!

I'd love to help you out in anyway Simon but i also have 2 mates that grip race nationally and in the state and they need my help too!

Best of luck over there tho, I'm sure you don't need it as you talent speaks for it self!!

Shan from the sound of it mate the car has just been freshly resprayed and ready for signage! Thus meaning majiority of the car can be theirs for the right sponsorship, and Simon is more than capable to represent them!

[Simon-S14]

Yeah as darren said, ive a fresh body to sticker up! Got several smaller companies helpoing out with a couple of parts and stuff, but im looking for 1-2 major sponsors.

tis what it looked like today... fresh out the booth. gotta go down there tomorrow and put it all together! The colour is the new Mazda colour as seen on Mazda 3,6, RX8 etc. its a metallic and a pearl and its fair bright in the sun!

Cheers to the guys from All Type Crash... have done a sweeeet job.

especially the way he used to chuck his sprinter in turn 1 of Malllala!

and the 32 for that matter haha.

definately a good op to sponsor a car that will be a massive contender at drift fest.

[Madaz]

[mr_rbman]

[Simon-S14]
