Need HELP!

In my quest to have the fastest lightning,I am in need of a sponsor or some one who will buy a fuel cell [Nascar] before the next event.Am planning on buying one before the SilverState but just watched the course video for the upcoming event.A 6% down hill for 4 miles all I lack for the tech speed of 180 is the cell. so I should be able to reach that speed in several spots on this course. Stan

Well the ones that we have to use are over a grand.plus the pumps about 500 bucks but I will buy that and make the adapters and sending units.IN other words not cheap.They have to be bladder cells and the one that I will have is a 32 gallon one.

I've put in for the amount we discussed.

We also discussed a possible way to raise the remaining amount. Stan may have a Cab-cam installed prior to the event and we discussed a few different camera locations that will show the view out the front window, gauges, hands on steering wheel, and hand held GPS showing possible speeds at 180+ mph.

Anyone donating $20 or more, up to the point that the required money is raised, will receive a VHS tape of what is recorded. If the electronics work, it'll be a wild 30 or more minutes.

I'm in for $20 or so. I like the video idea. How about setting up a PAYPAL account to facilitate this?

Thanks!!

Before I start accepting $ I need to make sure that it is feesible to have done before this event.After all I have to build a surge tank and have a low psi pump feeding the surge tank then a hi psi one out of the surge tank for the injection and plumb 2 return lines back to the cell 1 for the surge tank and 1 for the return off the rail.Needless to say will be a busy guy building this stuff!!!Stan

Feel free to email me if you would like with any ideas that would be easier.

That all depends on how big of a decal.Windshield banner size is 1000.00 on up.Plus you get some perks. Really don't like discussing that end of the business if you can call it that.But things are negotible.[sp].
I will be on the speed channel sometime soon and there is a video that is being made now on these events.So there is some coverage.Stan
