Looking for some support

As some know, I race a Boxster S in the Scandinavian Porsche Sports Cup - whilst this is really good fun, it is also rather expensive

To date, I have managed to secure some sponsorship with SVP (they built the car), Highgate House and a local company in Finland named EuroRacing. All these agreements are based on support and reduced cost service - Like Rick at HighGate House helping out with all the livery and EuroRacing with some local stuff.

I am hoping to generate some more sponsorship for next year (will spend the winter working on it), and this is where my shameful begging comes in. One channel I have to try and demonstrate visibility is the facebook page. The more people I can show as liking the page, the larger audience any potential sponsor gets. I therefore was hoping some of you would be willing to just click over to the page and press the "like" button, and help a fellow Porsche fanatic with his new racing addiction

CoolCava Racing | Facebook

Thank you for your support....

Wow, thank you all for such great support, I really appreciate it...

car311 - that goes without saying, we must stick together How about if I add your page to the CoolCava Racing Likes, and you do the same?

Geronimo - You can see some in-car action on the YouTube page, and I do try to keep the original build thread up-to-date...

That you did Milt, thank you

had already do so right after I posted in thread here. thanks for your support as well. i have a few irons in the fire on getting some help from a couple local companies. a paving contractor and vinyl/silk screen guy that is local and would like to get into the race culture for business. the paving contactor's take is rich folks race, and rich folks have long paved driveways in need of repair... i too am hoping the FB forum will help demonstrate a "following".

good luck with your continued sucess, and of course, keeping having fun....

Close buddy - you need to use fb as your page "Grocery Cart Motorsports", and then like the CoolCava Racing page - that way CCR will show up in your Grocery Cart Motorsports like list - just as I have done for CCR, so that your team now shows up in the CCR like list as well as my personal one

This sponsorship stuff is not easy, and it all comes down to a win-win deal. At least you can race all year round making it more interesting for the sponsors - We get to much snow for any racing over here in the winter - but that gives me 7 months to work on the car and potential sponsors

Good luck to you as well...
