This might not be taken seriously but I figured I'd throw the idea out there.
It's always been my dream to get into racing, and I do race competitive simulation racing online with good success (Top 5 ~35% against other top racers) @ iRacing.com, and recently ran extremely competitive times in rental 390cc Go-Karts at GoPro Motorplex in Mooresville, NC.
Since I am a bit of a newcomer to actual physical racing, I'd probably be best off buying a turn key 4cyl race-ready "compact" car. These are typically 1990-2005 MY Chevrolet Cavalier, Dodge Neon and etc. The interiors and glass are stripped out, and a roll bar welded and racing seat are put in.
Unfortunately, I am a student, I have very little family support, and don't have quite the money to purchase one as they run in the $2000-3000 range, and I would also need to buy safety equipment and a trailer, with at least $600 reserve for racing tires and possible repairs.
This car class runs almost every week in the schedule at my local race track and the track consistently draws crowds of 2,500 to 4,000.
If I could secure around 6-8 BTC, I would be able to purchase a race car and hauling trailer as well as helmet, neck restraint and etc and have reserve money for any issues that may arise. We already have a truck that would be capable of towing the car.
I would paint the race-ready car matte black and apply the minimalist orange "bitcoin logo" as a vinyl sticker to the hood and the "logo with text" to each rear quarter panel as seen here:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Promotional_graphicsWould you be interested in helping to fund my race car and gift me my dream? Is this a good/cool idea? Let me know what you think.
If someone rich in bitcoins would happen to generously throw me 8 BTC, I'd be on track with the car fully "bitcoin sponsored" in only a couple weeks provided I can find a car.
I intend to get the decals for the car printed on vinyl at carstickers.com.
