Funding Opportunity

[stang35th]

I’ve been working on a project for quite a while that I am confident will help everyone in the drag racing community through a funding effort that has quickly become a popular means to finance projects.

The intent of the Drag Racing Crowd is to help independent/underfunded race teams, tracks, etc. offset expenses generally provided by sponsors/advertisers. It is open to anyone with a compelling story and legitimate need to raise funds. Whether they need a little extra money for travel to the next race, have a bad luck situation they are trying to overcome, building a new track, or raising money for a cause to help a fellow racer, they can reach out through the Drag Racing Crowd. The ultimate goal is to utilize successful campaigns to illustrate the power of the ‘crowd’ to potential sponsors. It is another means to show businesses the impact racers have on the drag racing community and how their support can translate to revenue for their company.

The Drag Racing Crowd provides a single platform for the drag racing community to tell their stories and raise money through crowdfunding campaigns. Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising small amounts of money from a large number of people in exchange for rewards/perks as incentives for people to contribute.

We have gained some national attention recently through various drag racing websites and there is an article scheduled to be published in the next issue of National Dragster. We will also be featured on WFO Radio with Joe Castello in coming weeks. You can visit our website or Facebook page for additional information. The platform will be fully functional this week and I trying to spread the word to others that may be interested in utilizing the service.

For those that may not go to our Facebook page, I wanted to share a post from yesterday based on questions we received to give you an idea of what makes Drag Racing Crowd different.

Yes, there are other crowdfunding sites which give the impression they have a better outreach, however, there are hundreds of campaigns on those sites and motorsports campaigns are buried. The only way people hear about the lesser known efforts are when people share the links to the campaigns. All of our research has shown niche platforms, such as this one, are on the rise for this reason. People won't go to Kickstarter, Indiegogo, GoFundMe, etc. looking for drag racing and/or motorsports campaigns to support. Drag Racing Crowd was created to be the single crowdfunding platform for the drag racing community. Drag racing is our business and we would like to see our niche community stick together and help each other through one effort rather than getting lost in the crowdfunding jungle. We've been working on this for quite some time and did a lot of research on crowdfunding (what works and doesn’t work) to be sure we are able to provide top-notch support. Please keep the questions coming.
