Looking for sponsors
 
I am planning on building a mile event car. I am planning on using the new stingray corvette. It will have a Nelson Racing Engine in it.


932ci
5.300" Bore
twin 122mm turbos
125 Shot of nos (to assist in spooling of turbos)
Lenco cs1 5 speed with reverse gear lever shifted trans ($10, 050)

Suspension upgrades and roll cage will need to be done. Any help on finding a sponsor? How do I approach potential sponsors? Any advice. What companies would be a good starting point? I will be willing to drive to any event possible no matter how far away.

By the way, Transmissions. No trans would support this kind of power, so what should I do. Run with just a clutch? (like a top fuel dragster)


Just mount the 932 side ways & run direct front wheel drive.

You can thank me later

Wrong !!!... what do you think Pro Mods use or Alcohol Dragsters & Alcohol Funny Cars.... it called a LENCO TRANSMISSION

My Camaro made 721 HP from a 290 ci small block Chevy engine at 9600 rpm the car ran 8.03 @ 171 mph back in the 1990's Now D/A cars are running well into the 7 sec zone ....

Also Pro Stock (yes a little less power) and Comp Eliminator car (I had a D/A Camaro) and we and the Pro Stock cars use LIBERTY TRANSMISSIONS !

I don't think it would fit sideways. I do like the lenco CS1 3 Speed.

What happened with the drag racing team sponsorship and the 4000HP motor?

I decided to do mile events instead. But even now I cant even start to think about the project. Just got some hefty vet bills.Having horses isn't cheap.

Get rid of the horses and you'll free up a bunch of cash. :thumbs::willy:
