I feel like the OP is some 16-year old trying to live out a childhood dream, correct me if I'm wrong though. We all want to be race car drivers but those who actually become them work hard to reach that plateau and don't ask for handouts. GL with your endeavor but I honestly think you're not going to get the support you want from what I've read.


Get a job, start saving and see where that leads.

@Scavanger

There is someone here very uniquely qualified to perhaps provide you with some insights (if you ask nicely) about funding, scion racing, and getting into "the life" taking the route you've chosen.

Paging @MicheleAbbate

If she doesn't / can't pop-in, try her website. http://m1cheleabbate.com/videos/

Well first off i do have a job im military, second i have never and will never partake in drugs i feel that its a wate of time and money. My spare money and time gets donated to the local boys and girls club which makes it hard to save what little i do make. Oh and when im not at work or at the boys and girls club im working on college so i can get a teaching degree. But hey at least some people have the opportunity to save time with all that and do nothing all day sometimes i wish i could do that. Not looking for sympathy money just hoping some people would like to see a regular person on the page get sponsored.

i knew few people were in similar situation and they actually worked to pay for their sessions, maintenance and upgrades. until they have proven records that they have potential, then they asked companies sponsor. in other word, they earned it.

Maybe if you took some of that spare money and put it towards your dream than you wouldn't need to be doing this. Seems counter intuitive to say you have spare money, and yet you give it away to charity, then you create this campaign to raise more money. I'm almost not sure at this point if the money you're asking for would go straight to charity or to you persuing this dream of yours.Not saying it's bad you donate to charity, but seems your financial priorities aren't in order right now

well OP got wrecked on his own thread. fun read.
btw pretty sure the "sponsor" you talked to was trolling you with the 2 seasons where they have to watch you. seems like he just didnt want to give you the time of day.
