fastman614, I'm not involved in the sponsorship process, but I can provide a link to our motorsports sponsorship application-http://www.optimabatteries.com/_media/pdf/sponsorship_forms/2011Motorsports-ProductSponsorshipApp.pdf
I appreciate the offer to ride in your car, but the modifications necessary to accommodate me would probably not be worth the effort.

LSR is speed trails, racing is when contestants "race" to a finishline!
When I have looked alongside, I have never seen anyone racing me!

Speed drives my designs, not time. A big flywheel in a model A will develop enough torque to race and beat someone across the street, quickly with not very much speed. I don't care if it takes me two weeks to get across the street as long as I set a speed record when I get there!
Although the Beck roadster is certainly food for thought!
Even though lsr is speed trials I will say I'm going racing!
