#1

If you guys haven’t already seen the news, Chris at Bimmerparts.com is sponsoring the Mid-Atlantic points championship. Andrew Zimmermann at ATZ Promotions will have the windshield banners ready for distibution at Hyper-Fest. Go to Bimmerparts.com or call Chris Muzylowski at 215-348-3121 with any questions or orders.

Bimmerparts.com becomes
a Spec E30 sponsor

June 5, 2007

NASA Mid Atlantic is extremely pleased to announce that Bimmerparts, a long time supplier of BMW parts and division of Zygmunt Motors, has signed on as a sponsor of the Spec E30 series for the remainder of the NASA Mid Atlantic 2007 season. ‘Bimmerparts is great to work with. They know BMWs inside and out. They are based out of Eastern Pa. and have worked on BMWs since the 1970s. They are a very strong supporter of anyone racing a BMW and are BMW enthusiasts themselves. They are flexible, honest and just plain great to work with. I cannot say enough good things about Bimmerparts.” Said Mid Atlantic Regional Director, Chris Cobetto.

“For us it is a natural addition to the Zygmunt Motors/Bimmerparts family. Spec E30 and the NASA Mid Atlantic Region, in general have shown tremendous growth. We love to participate as drivers in the events, and it is pretty apparent that we are not the only ones having fun with (Chris) Cobetto and the whole Mid Atlantic family. Carter Hunt, Spec E30 Mid Atlantic leader, has done a great job growing Spec E30 and we love the excitement that surrounds the series.’ Said Bimmerparts owner, Chris Muzylowski.

The sponsorship will include two important facets:

There will be a cash payout based upon championship points that will be distributed at the conclusion of the 2007 season. While the Champion, 2nd place and third place finishers will all receive cash payouts NASA Mid Atlantic and Bimmerparts feel it VERY important that all drivers have an opportunity to win a cash prize so a raffle will be held for those that, at season’s end, finish fourth or greater as long as that driver has participated in a minimum of half of the races offered by the NASA Mid-Atlantic Region.

Bimmerparts will also extend special pricing to all NASA Mid Atlantic Spec E30 drivers of 5% above cost on products for their E30s. Shipping will be additional but if you are close to them you can pick up your parts without shipping costs included.
Starting at HyperFest on June 23, 2007, all Spec E30 drivers will be REQUIRED to display a Bimmerparts windshield banner on the top of the front windshield during all races. Banners will be supplied by Bimmerparts. For stickers, parts or questions please contact Chris Muzylowski at www.bimmerparts.com or at 215-348-3121.

Johnny, thanks for posting the announcement. I haven’t puchased anything from Zygmunt for years, but they helped me out a lot when I was restoring a '76 2002 in the 80’s. Great to have them as a sponsor.

Hey Ed, no problem, thanks for your positive response. Chris at Ziggy’s has been a great supporter of our racing community over the years. Last year Zygmunt’s sponsored the GTS Challenge at the national championships. On top of their regional sponsorship, they will also be including Spec E30 in the 2007 nationals contingency program. We are lucky to have Ziggy’s interest and support, let’s be sure to return the favor.

Sean, thanks for clearing that up for Kappy. Hey Kapp, we’ll have the banners and Sean said he would help you put in on if you need it… :whistle:

I have purchased a fair amount of parts for my BMW’s from Zygmunt and always had great service at very competitive prices. It’s great that they have stepped up to sponser our series.

I guess not all racers will have a chance to benefit:

"Bimmerparts feel it VERY important that all drivers have an opportunity to win a cash prize so a raffle will be held for those that, at season’s end, finish fourth or greater"

This is great but I do have a question? what if we aren’t in the mid atlantic but show up for a race do we have to run the decals? Since I like to occasionally travel to other regions to try different tracks, I don’t want to see every region have required decals that I have to swap around like a yoyo. Thoughts?

Hey Simon, I hear you there. According to Chris M. at bimmerparts.com, if you are running in a Mid-Atlantic race you will be required to run the supplied window banner for a uniform look. He stressed they will be available for free at the track.

That makes no sense. If you aren’t competing for their prizes, etc., you shouldn’t have to put their banner on the car.

Will they also pay for the banner that I have to take off? I just don’t think this is fair to guys that want to occasionally enjoy racing with you guys. I think it should be required for Mid-Atlantic racers only.

Perhaps there could be a couple vinyl cling banners for those that are visiting to put on (over whatever else they have).

For those out of region guys who do not want to permanently apply the decal, it can be temporarily taped on or fastened by some alternative method.

Sounds good to me, I just think we need to be careful because if the other regions start sponsorship like the mid atlantic we are going to have different window banners and decals for every region. Just something to think about. Still props to bimmerparts for stepping up, I don’t mean to be a downer. :slight_smile:

I honestly don’t understand the whole regional sponsorship thing. Why are these things not a global concept?

What happens if you "just say no"? Will the MA region NOT let you race in their events?

I’m sure you can race but you just won’t be eligible for the prize money.
