Looking for sponsorship !!!

slob · 31-08-2013, 04:51 PM

okay, not a Monster but still a Ducati...

if any of you were at the Brands trackday last Tuesday you may remember young Connor, 17 years old and going round devastatingly fast on Alan's 1098R.
Not that anyone was timing but a consistent 49 second lap with used tyres on a bike he'd never ridden before!

He's not even quite 18 so finding it very hard to finance a start in racing. Alan is able to provide a bike and support but Connor's still £700-1000 (travel, tyres, fuel & entry) short of being able to enter the King of Brands at next weekend's Hottrax meeting (which includes a DesmoDue round)

If anyone on here runs a company that would like sponsor a rising talent, for one event or the longer term with Knight Road Racing please PM CK&AK on this forum or let me know and I'll help you get in touch

...or of course we could crowdfund it between us and stick UKMOC stickers on the bike :-D

Cheers Slob, anything anyone can spare would be most helpful - this lad has serious talent

That's not a bad idea Rob. ....how big would each slice need to be?

BigOz · 31-08-2013, 07:58 PM

It was impressive to watch him go round, I may be able to chip in a little.

gary tompkins · 31-08-2013, 09:04 PM

Yep.. same here

Planning to be at Brands to watch this meeting

CK & AK · 31-08-2013, 09:12 PM

1st we need to get him entered (about £200), then we can sort out tyres & fuel next week....
Entries need to be in shortly tho

alan c · 31-08-2013, 10:34 PM

I am up for that as well !

Can we pay into an account ??

I am sure any amount will help !

gary tompkins · 31-08-2013, 11:37 PM

Any link to a paypal account available for donations CK?

I'm happy to pay towards fuel costs

CK & AK · 01-09-2013, 09:47 AM

Come on Guys and Girls, lets get Conner out racing at Brands

CK & AK · 01-09-2013, 09:34 PM

Many many thanks

So far we now have enough donated to the account & promised by PM for the entry fee

Now we need to crack on with tyres & fuel, looking good

Albie · 01-09-2013, 09:41 PM

PM sent Guys

CK & AK · 01-09-2013, 10:04 PM

PM responded to Albie

'If' this doesn't come off, we WILL refund all monies to everyone.

So far we have entries & 50% of the possible fuel.

Tyres are the biggie tho....... 2 rears & 1 front prob needed (2 x 18 lap races)
1 front & 2 rear prob needed - slicks (190/55/17 rear & 120/70/17 front) got to last 2 x 18 lapper races, anyone got any contacts/sponsorship?

Lol Slob, not everyone wants (or indeed is able) to be involved in racing.
The support has been tremendous from here so far. Have got 2 of the pledges into the bank (many thanks). Anyone else who requested bank details & hasn't got them, do let us know

We WILL be carrying UKMOC stickers on the bike - and any others that those who offer to pledge, can send us.

Happy for anyone to bring family up to sit children on the bike during a break in proceedings - for photos etc
