Funded driver looking for part-time pavement ride

I have a full-time commitment already, however I am looking for a part-time pavement sprint car ride. I would run the little 500, or select avss/hoss/must see racing events. I have the funding for tires and am backed by a major/national engine builder. If anyone has a part-time seat available, the engine will be cared for in the same facility they build some of their nascar cup and baja engines, and as previously mentioned I have tire funding also. Just reply here if you have something available and leave your contact info. I don't really check messages on here, so just reply to this post if you're interested.

To start, it's going to be difficult to find someone to invest time/money/equipment in this endeavor. That's just the way it is for most everyone seeking sponsorship or partnerships in racing without having a personal tie to the sponsor/partner. But, your approach on here makes it ten times more difficult. As a small business owner, there is no way I would commit, or even express interest in a proposition like this on a public forum, especially with knowing absolutely nothing about you, your business history and your racing history/accomplishments. Anybody who would come forward and express such interest would then leave themselves open to being swamped by many others wishing for the same type of deal. I seriously doubt that anyone is going to negotiate with you publically on this thread. I would suggest that you rethink your position of not reading your PM's and edit your post to let would-be persons with interest submit, or request, contact information to/from you privately. Good luck! (miracles do happen and I may be proven wrong, but I just think your odds of finding an interested party are greater if you do it privately).....

Hey....thanks for your post..... (not really). I don't have my name on here for a reason. I just received backing from a team of national proportion (nascar, WoO, arca, etc; they have major interests in all) SO it's not my privilege to use their name as I please on a public forum. However, I'm looking for a few select dates in a certain market that happen to work for me. I posted here because I'm just looking for something that coincides with my full-time commitment... I've been racing long enough that I'm intelligent enough not to "negotiate" on a public forum. I was just using it as a mass contact/ad tool to possibly get in touch with someone. I already have funding, real....major sponsors...I'm not soliciting money or negotiating. Thanks for your advice though, it was completely unneeded.

Not at all dude....I just was looking to see what/if anything was available.. I'm a nobody, totally broke typical guy who spends all his time and money racing. I just happen to have a great sponsor helping me and am looking to see what I can find, that's it.

Do what you got to do zero and spread your word so you get what you want accomplished. There are a lot of bitter old fogies and people on here that will take shots at you. You were simply asking a question not begging for someones kids lunch money.

I have a tire sponser??? Huh?? Better tell them that the car is parked and for sale before they get to excited. No really its parked and for sale. Lookin for a ride like everyone else just not going to start a thread saying awww whoa is me please help me find a ride. My main mission on this site is to stir it up not beg for help.

Scott I'll give you a call tomorrow. I was trying to sell my car because I don't have room for it....no other reason dude. I'm committed to a full time, long term deal...I just don't have a ton of shop room with the other car coming in, that's it. I'm actually probably going to keep it, I don't really want to sell it.
