Sanctioned racing in this country does not run on goodwill alone. It takes infrastructure: rules, safety standards, a unified points system, a national championship. The Founding Supporters program is how we fund that. Five supporters are on the wall so far and the campaign is at $1,850 of its $25,000 goal. Your name goes up permanently, numbered, before this thing gets big. The people who showed up early get remembered.
