CLASS RACER FORUM - A stick Challenge 2010- INDY

Hi Racers. This is the time of year that we all start gathering our stuff together for INDY!

As you may recall, I have informally organized the A stick Challenge to highlight the coolest cars in the eliminator in my opinion.

I have been fortunate enough to get some real great support from grass roots racers on up to some corp support.

I would like to do it again this year!

I will make participant shirts and am considering a " supporter" shirt to help raise $$$ add to the pot a little.

Keep in mind, I will administer any donations and contingent items with no fees or compensation. It is not to make a profit, but just to help support class racing. If you get them to me, I can take care of that.

It is a small gesture, but it seemed appreciated by the racers. These A stick Cars are harder on stuff than most classes. IT is nice to pay it forward for the show. If anyone has watched Jason McCormack run this year, you know what I am talking about!

Thanks to Ken and Classracer.com for supporting the A stick Challenge. Without this forum, it would be impossible to reach so many racers!

I welcome any ideas and donations. They add up and are a nice way to show support.

My contact info is jimschaechter@earthlink.net

P.S. I do occassionally get suggestions to sponsor other classes. No offense to other classes since I run in other ones too. I just picked this one as my favorite. If you have an idea to sponsor a class, I would be happy to share what I have learned so that you can do the same.

Thanks. Jim
