Since you dont compete in any real racing thats how it would look to alot of people. What good is a WA small company sponsorship when no one from WA will see it?

Not trying to shit on your dreams but I think you've got a long way before WTA, try doing some Targa races/twilight series etc for a couple of years first.

Lol griffo you need to appreciate all the angles and not just focus on one or two...

i think it would be easier to get alot of smaller donations rather than just one big lump sum. i.e x20 companies all putting in 1k. Even in this GFC 1k for advertising is relatively cheap...

And who says i have to limit it to WA based companies.

Secondly money dosent have to come in the form of cash but can be from products..

And in terms of going to WTA.. there are different classes of which alot of people with stock standard cars enter into. My car fits the clubsprint category which alot of these novice drivers enter.. So although i may not finish in the top 10 i wont look like a complete fool driving..

P.S i never said that this is going to happen, its just a thought, and as people say there is no harm in trying..

Thing is, ATO doesn't let a company just hand out tax free money to people. So Tino getting sponsorship money might be seen as extra income and he pays tax on it. Mainly why he needs to look into it more. $20k quickly becomes $10k when Mr Taxman wants his cut.

Just something for Tino to consider and check with his accountants prior.

I think that this would be classified as a hobby John especially being a one off payment and not continual income source. But would obviously need to check up on this if it did eventuate....

I'll sponsor you $2.

I have been wondering this for a while now, what is the end goal with this car?

Track car/show car/angry streeter?

It seems to have bits of everything, but a track car does not work as a show car and vice versa for obvious reasons.

Interested to know how it works if you find out.

My brief searching a while back lead to a lot of 'don't bother' responses.

I'm not so sure Tino. Having been there a month or so ago, and then comparing it to say the events here, I think a lot of the weekend warrior guys don't turn up. I'd say the level of the top few guys ( eg Lister, Franz, Reynolds and Beers ) that duke it out at the local events here would be filling the Club Sprint @ WTAC and then limited by their cheque book.
I think you should turn up and have a geezer at the competitive events and have a look at how hard some of these guys push ( yes I know you have been to Twighlight etc but spend the whole day watching, not just in the car with your eyes closed codriving for Douggie

)
I know its just a thought at this stage but I often think of banging 5 hot blonde chicks at once and thats never going to happen because my mates remind me that I have a head like a St Bernard.

+1, it'd be a damn shame to have a huge off when racing this thing and have to start all over again with the amount of custom, one off work that's gone into it.

I love how casually you brush over well made points. Good luck.
