Really could use a hand

Please Donate if you feel compelled to do so!

There are some addons for this site I'd like to get added but cost $. We need paying sponsors to give a hand. The license for the site is $195/year + hosting on a 100 Megabit line, not to mention the hardware cost I'm out. I'd really like to do things with this site and make it better for us, but I'm tapped out financially on this thing. Give a hand, if you know a shop that would like to advertise and can afford $20/month, get me a business card and $20 (or I can paypal invoice them every month). If they want to pay for an entire year, I'll do it for $200. These sponsors need to give members some sort of incentive (10% or more on parts/labor would be good). Please give a guy a hand and let's get this taken to the next level! Thanks you guys for all of your support!

Then I feel like I'm taking handouts from my friends. =\ I really wanted to accumulate sponsors that could give us all awesome deals while increasing their business and revenue to be able to pay for the expense to run this sucker! I really appreciate you offering though, takes a hell of a person to step up like that.

I'd donate to a paypal link. Hell if anyone comes thru Coffee Alley Tulare and I see a CenCalRacing sticker on their ride I'll hook up a 50% discount! If I'm there, not valid with any other offer or coupon. I dare any other sponsors match that LoL.

Don't be a little bitch just throw it up there and you get some love right on if not all it's all good.

There. Feels tacky putting it under the sponsor logos or all over the site, I'll just make a direct link for it... ugh I hate doing that, this crap is just too expensive to run!

I got an awesome idea! I'm going to go down to millers and hardcore and see if I can get some type of gift certificates for like200 bucks then we can raffle them at the pizza meet for 10 bucks! Then put the profit towards the forums! Also yes! Put a donation tab! I know I would donate to this mudda fawka

Thanks a bunch Travis, you're a hell of a guy. Tell Tom Tony said hi if you go down there, I've been so busy, I've been meaning to go by there and check on him, but haven't been able to. See what you can do. I've got a donation link in my first post for those who really want to give a brother a hand. You guys are awesome!
