Markus Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Just curious - Has anyone ever investigated the possibility of getting tire contingencies for Time Trials drivers? For example - Kumho offers weekend and year end contigencies to Honda Challenge drivers. They also do this for SCCA race series and even some autox events. It seems to me that if they are supporting autox that time trials wouldn't be that much different? I'm here in NE Ohio kind of close to the Kumho research center so I can approach them if desired. I know NASA also works with Toyo and personally I've been very happy with the RA1's so if they offered a program I'd be fine with that too. - Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Tornado Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I totally agree. I would love a Toyo RA1 contigency at least at the nationals or for season points winners. What to do we need to do to get 1-5 basic contigencies going?? Greg, what about a point break for the tire sponsor?? hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
National Staff Greg G. Posted December 29, 2005 National Staff Share Posted December 29, 2005 We've had local sponsors in SoCal for 2 years now with some nice prize packages for our champions. Since we are going "National" now with TT, NASA National will negotiate any nationwide contingencies or sponsorships. Your local region is still free to get local sponsors to put up prizes or contingency awards (as long as they don't conflict with a national or title sponsor). If any of you have a rich uncle with a business that needs $75k of advertising as the title sponsor of NASA TT, I'm sure we could work something out .

loudes13 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 today i sent a letter to toyo and emails to hoosier, kumho, & hankook. Anyone else get some tire $? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudes13 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Here's my response from hoosier Allen, Thanks for writing. I would be happy to send you some Hoosier decals for your race car. Currently, we do offer a contingency program through SCCA club and solo national events, but nothing more. Also, our 2006 budget has been allocated for the year and we will be unable to pickup any more competitors. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be a part of your race team. Best of luck in 2006. - Jeff Speer, HRT anyone else??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
