Possibility of a 7 second RX-7 to come from Oz for ROTORSTOCK 3!

[Glenn Butcher]

Hi all,

There is a possibility of an RX-7 coming across from Australia for ROTORSTOCK 3.  BUT (always a but!) we need to find funding to do this.

There are a few options, in that we either have an individual company fund the entire lot, or a number of companies to fund it.  Sticker/naming rights are available for the time it is here, and if you/your company would like to use it as a promotional tool for other shows or events around the time this may be possible also.  Company of course doesn\'t have to be related to the car business, as it would be good exposure for any company.

Rough budget is around GBP 8K - 9K to get the car across and back, to have 5 crew members brought over and back, tow car hire, their accommodation etc..

It is the TCR RX-7 (pictured below).

We are open to suggestions, and would love for this to happen.  But the Club isn\'t in a position to fund this, we can certainly help publicise it though!

How long would it be over for?

Hi mate,  not 100% sure at this stage.  I would have thought a few weeks (but don\'t quote me on it).  I have asked my contact in Oz for some further information.  Will let you know in the next few days hopefully.

Sounds awesum to have such a Rex at the next Rotorstock, and a great idea. Not sure what other members think (non vendors companies that is), but could we maybe chuck some pennies in a hat or something similar. I would\'nt mind putting a bit in, I don\'t meen loads of money each. I realise like myself we all have our own personal overheads (mortgages/kids/rent etc).

If we don\'t get enough dosh together then maybe we could give the money raised too some sort of good cause/charity. If everyone was in agreement  :Thumbs-up . Just an idea peep\'s what you guys n girls think...cheers Leigh.

What we have to ascertain(sp) are their needs for the time period that they are here....some expenses are set one i.e.plane tickets,car running expenses etc....the variables are their accomodation,food and all the other tsitska\'s that go with it.....give us a breakdown Glen\\Clive so we can have a broader picture cos then we can identify a cost which we can contribute to...personally i dont like just opening my wallet and cant see where the money is going to.Will always contribute towards an identified part of the whole exercise....make sense...no...ill try some time later.

p.s.they will surley contribute towards the whole excercise.?
