money

===Ok guys so I spoke to Dr. Shertukde today. He said the SGA will only give $5,000 max. I emailed the www.cvg.org a committee that gives cash to green projects like this. Dr. Shertukde said you present them with a 30 second presentation and they decide to sponsor you or not. I also emailed the inl.gov who also give money to types of projects like this.-DAN===

I also spoke with the director of http://www.ecedra.com/ the race association we couldnt contact. The directors numbers are ECEDRA phone contacts:

"Skype 860-316-4710 My cell 860-301-6813

If you need assistance "

He said hes not sure why we couldnt contact him. He also has shops in middletown CT. "I will review our emails to see if there is any problems. My warehouse is on 770 Newfield Street Middletown, CT and our Racing shop is on Walnut Street in Middletown, CT. You are welcome anytime, but we will be at our first EV Drag Racing Event in Florida from 3-24-2011 to 3-28-2011."

The have a converted firebird with 2 Warp11 motors. This made me realize we have a lot of competition.

This is really great news to hear, yeah the SGA and Finance Committee don't have much of an abundance of money, they do sponsor more heavily on actual clubs. But it's a good thing, at the meeting they will ask how much you can settle for, if not the whole amount. I'm glad we finally were able to reach that man, which means soon after Spring Break, we can really get things going. So now what? ~Annie~

What we need is cash. And lots of it. The SGA money can pay for the car and tools but thats about it. We still need that grant money to get this going and I havent received a single email back from any1. -Dan

We are thinking of bidding on a different vehicle. It is on Ebay. Here is the item # :Chevrolet : S-10 (#250795777391). Check it out and let us know what you think. It is already set up for racing. It has the suspension and rear end, so it will save us from having that stuff done. Steve

This auction runs out on Monday around noon. We will need to make a decision about bidding soon. I think we should bid up to $1200.00. I wrote the seller and asked about the condition, since the pictures are 18 months old. He claims the car is in storage. I will send another email and ask if the transmission is included. Steve Sheak
