Hey Everyone,
This is a copy of the email I sent to the group yesterday, with the correction for North Bay Bavarian. Myself, Steve Ferrario, Jim Bucha, Greg Peterson, Kevin Nichols and Walter Ford have been working behind the scenes gathering up supporters for NorCal SpecE30 for cash and prize giveaways. In addition to NASA’s national-level contingencies (Toyo Tires, Hawk Brakes etc.) nasaproracing.com/contingency here’s what we have in store so far for NorCal SE30 racers:
NorCal SE30 Trophy Upgrades
PointSix Racing (Walter Ford) is working with GoGoGear on upgrading trophies for SE30 podium finishers. Thanks again to Walter for this very nice upgrade. Credit goes to Kevin Nichols his suggestion of better trophies for SE30. www.pointsixracing.com
Evil Genius Racing Hard Charger Award $100 Cash
The EGRHC $100 Cash Award is back for the 3rd season for NorCal SE30 racers. This award can be given out to both on-track performance as well as off-track performance.

Two ERG decals are required to be eligible for this award. www.evilgeniusracing.com
North Bay Bavarian Pole Position Award $100 Cash
The racer who clocks the fastest pole position lap-time of each race weekend (Sat or Sun) will received a crisp $100 bill from North Bay Bavarian. Thanks to Rick Row owner of NBB for this cool award. Two NBB decals are required for this award. An added feature…NBB will also give away a free set of front OR rear brake rotors to the driver who finishes directly behind Rick on the same day the fastest pole is won. Thanks Rick! www.bmwnbb.com
PointSix Racing Fast Race Lap Award $100 Cash
Walter is at it again with this fun award. The racer who clocks the fastest race lap-time over the weekend will receive $100 cash from PointSix Racing.

AIM TIRE $100 Gift Certificate
AIM Tire is supporting NorCal SE30 again with a $100 gift certificate for each race weekend. This certificate goes to racers who finish 6th place or below and will be either a random draw of Saturday’s finishing position or a draw of car numbers. A big thanks to Ron Cortez for his support of NorCal SE30. Two AIM Tire decals are required to be eligible. www.aimtire.com
Pabst Racing Professional Racing Simulator
Credit for securing this sponsorship goes to Steve Ferrario! Pabst Racing Professional Racing Simulator (PRS) will give two “free simulator time” certificates good for one hour (value=$120) to (1) The winner of each E-30 race. And, (2) A “Hard Charger” award to the driver that gains the most positions in the same race (ties go to the driver with the highest finish). All E-30 drivers who are signed up for this contingency program, will receive a discount for simulator rental at $100 per hour instead of the normal rate of $120 per hour. Two decals are required to be eligible for this award.
Added Bonus: The season ending NorCal Regional Champion in SE30 will have a special trophy plaque made (at PRS’s expense), consisting of a photo of car and driver, and framed. It will be permanently mounted in our shop on the “Wall of Champions” directly behind our retail glass counter. The “WOC” is currently anchored by Scott Pruett’s framed photo (signed) of his two Grand Am DP Championships in 2008 and 2010 and John Trefethen’s “Driver’s Cup” GT3-Cup Championship in 2007. Very cool! Thanks to Tom Pabst at Pabst Racing for this great offer www.pabst-racing.com
