OT: Land speed record sponsorship

[Tyson Varosyan]

Hey guys and gals,

I apologize for the off-topic post in advance, but it's for a good cause.

About 2 years I went with my 3000GT club to visit a hangar/garage that is
home to the "The North American Eagle." It is a car being built to challenge
the unlimited-class land speed record (currently 763 MPH). They are using a
surplus military jet as the base platform :) Ether way, the guy building the
car was awesome, the crew was great and they all poured a ton of hard work
and money into it, so I decided to keep an eye on them so that one day when
they break the record and get into all the magazines and on the news I could
say "I knew them from way back when and saw them building the car" :p

Well, it looks like they are coming closer to the day and now need a bit
more cash. They have an eBay auction for a 1 time sponsorship deal for $10k.
This gets the buyer a nice big advertising space on the car during the
initial test runs which will be filmed by the Discovery Channel of Canada.
(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3851129520). This is a
unique opportunity for some sweet commercial advertisement and sponsorship
to take the speed record back from the Brits!

They also have T-shirts, hats and such available for sale.  The profits from
the sales goes to the project.  Check it out:

This concludes my public service announcement :)
