So I have a muscle car, a muscle car that I would like to take rallycrossing when I finish it.
The problem is that the chance of something failing/breaking/crashing in a racing situation is higher than normal. Thus, I would like to trailer it to the destination. I have access to a trailer, but the truck capable of pulling it is my dad's company truck which only he could drive, which would in turn severely inconvenience him.
I would love to get a $2000-$3500 F100 or Ranger ( *Cough*:
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
)
But that is just not in the cards. SO WHAT I WAS THINKING:
Ask the local Ford dealerships here if, in exchange for a loaner F150 for the weekend, they would do their own livery on my car and get photos of the car (sitting and in action) for their promotional purposes.
Am I crazy? Do dealerships do stuff like that anymore? I wouldn't be asking for money or servicing, just the borrowing of a truck (although tires would be nice...) for the great majority of the sponsorship space.
I know I'm crazy, but it's just a random thought I'd throw out there to discuss with you guys.

Can't hurt to ask. Worst case scenario is you're back at square 1 - the "not having a truck" square.

No harm in trying. I know there is a guy in my region that runs a 2.5rs in both rally and rally-x, and the occasional auto-x that has a sponsorship of a local subaru dealer. No idea what he gets with the sponsorship, but it can happen.

Well if the dealership thing doesn't work maybe you can line you're self up with a uhaul store and get there livery on your car in exchange for free/discounted truck rentals?
