Donation Drive 2007
Thank you one and all for your continued support of Landracing.com.
We have had another fun-filled, action-packed adventure covering the landspeed racing scene. Our coverage in ’07 included the annual Northwest Bonneville Reunion in Portland, a summer “scouting” trip to Wendover for an investigation/report on salt conditions, and the coverage of four separate events on the salt during racing season. We LOVE attending the meets and providing a common ground on the web where fellow enthusiasts can come together as one.
Now I’ll cut to the chase. In previous posts on the site, I have mentioned my responsibilities as crew chief, tow vehicle operator, and website contributor. I am also the unofficial bookkeeper, and it’s my humble duty to reach out to the fans of Landracing.com to ask for your monetary support during our annual fundraising drive.
In its early years, Landracing.com was 100% funded by the joint bank account of Mr. & Mrs. Jonathan Amo. As the site has grown through the years, the costs for upkeep have, as well. Nothing in life is free, and that includes camera equipment, computers, servers, wireless internet connections, food, lodging, gasoline, and time away from work and home. And this doesn’t account for the personal sacrifice of long hours and late nights.
The popularity and content of Landracing.com have grown exponentially since its debut in 1996, but unfortunately, our ability to absorb the expenses related to its upkeep has not. To show an example of the growth and popularity of the website, in 1996 when Landracing.com started we receive a mere 500 hits, this year during August we received 5.8 million hits to the website. And this is where the donations from you, our loyal viewers, come in. You fill the gap. You make up the difference. You make the continuance of Landracing.com a reality.
And for those of you generous enough to open your hearts and your pocketbooks, you get our undying gratitude (and a personally handwritten note of thanks from yours truly) in return.
Now for the official particulars. Donations to the site can be forwarded to:
