I'm really not too sure. I don't think that DB and I have ever even talked about sponsorship. I've read his post about it, either here or on the BR forums, but I've always just paid his prices and never really thought about it. I guess I've always thought of them as friends, as much as anything, and would have never been comfortable with asking for them to pay for my playtime.
ADDED: I just saw Mikes post and agree with what he said. Just not a thought.

Mike, this is the kind of co-operation that helps all of us. At this point, I'm not too sure where to even start. Everything will be new to us for a while. I will also extend the same invitation to you, If we can help in any way, we're at your service. We'll be pulling a trailer with all of the goodies so it will be at your disposal. Thanks for lifting the Evo flag and we'll do our best to help hold up our end of it. We're certainly not there yet, but willing to learn.
Take my advice as a beginner and stick to POWER STREET.. The experience the guys have in Turbo Street is unreal. Racing against corporate backed auto GM cars is very difficult.. I am not giving up though. I will continue to attend all the Nopi events i can until i can show these Honda and GM guys that the Evo can compete.. 90% of the problem is my experience on the tree, but in time thru a more simple setup and experience we will be competetive with those guys!!!

You have more to worry about than Brian Ballard in Turbo street. You have Felix Median, Joe Simpson, Jonathan Reynolds, Tony Paola and Courtney Green just to name a few to worry about. Good luck though, but if you can't cut a light you will be going out in the first round of eliminations when you meet those guys.

I have been to 4 events so far and i know who all the heavy hitters are.. I mentioned HONDA and GM guys.. Yes they all cut great lights in competition.. They also weigh 2500lbs and cut almost the same 330ft as evos and make more power too.. The AWD cars are handicapped at 2950lbs.. Well get it our program down though soon enough..

Nice to see a father/son driving Evos and getting sponsor. I thought my father and me were the only father/son with Evos, I'm glad were not alone lol. I love look on people faces when I tell them my father drives an Evo, I bet your son feels the same way. Congrats guys on the sponsorship

Your car runs the same ET as theirs, but from what I've seen your problem is on the tree and they will destroy you each time if you can't cut a light. You might want to check with Sean Ivey as he is the only AWD car (DSM at the time) to make it to the finals in turbo Street and he did in NHRA trim.
