Sheetz is sponsoring the car this year and they sent two guys to wrap it today.

I will post more as the day goes and they get more done.

Tell those guys to remember how they did it. I'm sure they'll be back after a few MARRS starts [Wink]

It is in the contract that they will re-wrap it when I wreck it.

The phone camera and the glare from the sun are not doing this justice. It is REALLY bright red and vibrant colors. I will try to get a link up later to better quality photos I am taking with a better camera. I am also trying to do a time elapse video, not sure how that is going to work out.

They wanted it left on the trailer. They thought it would be too close to the ground.

I'm not trying to be a wise-guy (for once), what does Sheetz get out of this, ie, will this car be at spectator events where it will have more exposure than a typical club event?

I am administering a promotional program for them to SCCA/MARRS participants. We have bumper stickers for drivers to put on the cars. If you race with the stickers on you get a coupon for a free MTO (Made to Order) sandwich at every event. The volunteers are also included in the promotion, they can wear a patch on there uniform. Each weekend we will also randomly give away a $100, $50 and $25 gas card. At the end of the year drivers can earn points based on finishing positions for a $1,000 First Prize, $500 Second Place and $250 Third Place gas card.

Contrary to what some racers think, companies do not run around and look to hand out money. You have to help them sell a product. Our goal is to get MARRS SCCA folks to go to the stores and use the coupons for a free sandwich. I hope the drivers will continue to go to the store since SHEETZ is contributing prizes to the series drivers and volunteers.

SHEETZ sells great sandwiches and gas and to get to Summit Point and any of our MARRS races you almost HAVE to drive by one.

Nice deal, Mike. Those coupons will come in handy as we have taken to buying lunch at various Sheetz in the area to brown bag to the track with us on race weekends.

I have been a SHEETZ loyalist ever since they tried to loophole around Pennsylvania's laws preventing alcohol sales from being sold by anyone except trolls that live under bridges that are members of the Malt Beverage Distributors Association of Pennsylvania.

Their willingness to exploit a "gray area" makes them the perfect SM sponsor in my mind.

Are they aware you sleep with the GCR? (How does Wheeler know what you sleep with?)
