WOW, this sucks

You could talk to your current sponsors and explain your situation. Maybe you could talk a little more out of each of them for the engine fund. Good luck and don't give up!

Only problem with this is I can see someone saying "You blew your motor, cant buy a new one unless I give you more money? How 'bout you give me BACK my money since you wont be carrying out your half of the bargain and advertising my business".
Just a thought...

I guess things are different down there . Any of my sponsors would be more than willing to kick in a little extra given the circumstances. When I blew my engine last season I even had the other racers trying to help me out. I was offered someone elses seat in a brand new car for this season until  mine was ready. I would rather run my own gear and mine will be ready .

My parents just told me tonight. IM officially done racing for now. They cannot provide any more money. I will sell my car for 3,000$ as a roller. Then i will save like hell and buy a new car next year? IDk. im just really bummed. Its alot for a 16 year old to handle at once.

Tyler,
 Any chance your parents will let you keep the car; then let You work like hell to repair it?
What about you buying the car from them?

Just some random thoughts.

Best of luck to you!

If they will let you keep the car, you might be able to just do some appearances at your sponsors businesses or something while getting the money together for a new engine.

yes, actually. The car is sold. I have to just drop it off after memorial day weekend, because i negotiated a deal with my sponosors that if i show it off memorial day weekend, they wont make me give all their money back. Actually, just my main sponsor asked for half back.  this whole situation sucks. I know if i just had the chance i could have done very well in this sport, now i have to wait till highschool ends. Seems like if you want to be a professional now, you might as well drop outta highschool, except dont worry im going to college first also.  but after that who knows.

Good to hear that you plan to continue school.
Alright; So time to regroup.
Find some work for the summer and start socking away money.
You'll be back in a race car before you know it!


Best of Luck!!!!
