Unfortunately, due to a schedule conflict we won't be enjoying the support of PhilsTireService.com for the Longest Day 24 hours at Nelson Ledges, the last weekend of August.
However, that presents an opportunity for someone with a friendly relationship with a tire manufacturer to buy a ride with tires, rather than cash. We have a longstanding policy of honoring in-kind payments of "stuff" that we would otherwise spend $$ on, at retail price. So for example, if you have a sponsorship deal with a retailer or manufacturer to pay 50% of retail, you could bring $3700 worth of tires to the program, cover your full rental fee, and only be out-of-pocket $1850. If you can score enough freebies, you could be part of the return of round-the-clock racing to Nelson for nothing. Nada. Zilch.
We've run Hoosiers for the last two years but recognize the commercial realities of this kind of deal. If you bring something we've never used, we would have to work out an opportunity to test whatever the race tire would be, so that we show up with settings to suit different rubber, but that can all be worked out.
Get in touch if you want to talk...

EDIT - for that matter, we are in the same boat for the Homestead 12 Hours - $2000 worth of rubber and the seat is yours.

How many drivers are you looking to add to your team?

Good question.
Right now we have two spots securely filled, and a number of other potential codrivers at various levels of interest/commitment. If we run with 4 drivers - our Plan A - we have 2 spots for which we haven't received a deposit. However, we wouldn't rule out the possibility of running with a team of 5, and it would even be possible to split the 24 hours into something other than equal-sized chunks.
Rental seat prices are determined by time so 1/5th of the day would cost 80% of what a 1/4 share would - about $3000 rather than $3700.
Heck - if two drivers wanted to split a 1/4 share, we could do that. We try hard to help our team members meet their competitive and budget goals.
