Yep. Chasecam paid out over $25k in 2008. Looks like 09 will be 10% of that
unless things improve. The economy is looking bleak for racing which relies on
sponsorships and mktg budgets.

I have been told that all successful sponsorship request proposal start the same
way.... Dear Grandma....

In all seriousness, good luck in finding sponsorship. It's definitely not great
economic times and a lot of business are saving their pennies.

No problem at all! I wish Jeremiah all the best in getting into the
series. It's unfortunate that money has to be the driving motivation
to getting into racing...not necessarily talent anymore. Bill
Auberlin once told me "It takes money to get you there, but it takes
talent to keep you there." Sorry if I bothered anybody.

Thanks and take care!
AJ
