Any and all donations would be appreciated. Thank you

Maybe if you wrote in much much more detail you would get some support. At this point it looks like you are asking for freebies.

Ha I read your post wrong at first!

You're asking for money for what exactly?

You briefly touch on becoming a race driver or an automotive journalist, but also that you're looking to get your car sponsored.

But in the end it sounds like you want someone else to pay for your track sessions and to fix your car if you crash it.

Hahahahaha!!!

Basically i am trying to get a sponsorship from toyota they are looking for new drivers for there scion racing team so i want to use my car to try to get sponsored they have scouts at the local shop where i live and have talked to them about getting sponsored. In order for them to consider me they have to watch me over the course of 2 seasons of track time to make sure i have the required skills. The money would cover the entry fees, and yes things that may get broken if there is a crash. Not everyone is perfect but its been a dream to be a professional driver and when im older to become a journalist like the gentleman on Top Gear.

Honestly i know i wont get much support but i figured i should at least try because if you dont try you can never succeed.

i want to support you here but i dont see any real motivation behind what your doing... you need to write more than one sentence about what your trying to do. i agree with the other posts, it just seems like your basically asking for freebees while the rest of us slave away at work 40+ hours a week to afford our dreams..

I agree with @Scavanger.

If people want to give me money for no reason, I'll take it.
You have to have your hand out first though.

Lets all start a "Go Fund Me"!

Takumi788 · 03-25-2015, 02:44 PM

Get involved with your local track. You live in Texas and happen to have one of the greatest tracks currently in the US at your disposal. Hit all of the HPDE events. Work your way up to HPDE 4. Then get into time trials. If you do well there legit companies will sponsor you with goodies.

Seems kind of bold to ask people to fund your hobby. Even if a person donated you $10k so you can be a race car driver. Without hard work and dedication what have you earned?

swarb · 03-25-2015, 02:45 PM

1. go to drivers school or practice karting.
2. go to school for journalism.
3. Do it the old fashioned way with hard work and your own money, go to track/shows often, and THEN try sponsorship.
Have you been to the track? , what makes you better than joe schmo that has been driving for many more years, many more cars, and much more experience? why would they sponsor you/your relatively stock car compared to a built one that is faster, has a better driver and is sorted? I'm not trying to put you down, You have to sell yourself and your car. And at this point you have done neither to get my or scion's interest.
