Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

Hi Joel, I hadn't read your message so it was still in your outbox. I will respond shortly. Beverly

I appreciate all of you so very much. I want you to know Mike is working hard to take care of me and this forum. I wish Don could see these posts and maybe he does, he would be so proud. Thank you for you continued input and support for Speedtalk.

Don and I bought a 1 owner turbo coupe in 2010. It was a car I had owned in 88. It is in great condition and has never seen a winter. Always garaged and well maintained. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sal ... chRadius=0

Thanks everyone! The good news is I have until the end of 2019 to decide what to do. The server cost is 159/month and the server management is 29/month with a minimal amount of tickets. I appreciate every ST member and your efforts to help keep Don's legacy alive. God bless you!

Thank you Dave. This will be a member effort as we navigate how to continue Don's legacy.

Phil Veldheer, aka Sponsorship Coach, has many sponsors. The positive of this method is that if one fails to rene...

Hi, Many ideas but first of all you need to put together some things about your team. Where are you racing? What are your demographics? Who will benefit from sponsoring you? Then you want to make contacts and let everyone know you are serious about your racing! I don't know if you've bought the &quo...

We have an exciting weekend planned in February. We are visiting the Kart Expo in Chicago to see speaker Jim Leo with PitFit Training. Jim will be doing an seminar on being a fit driver.

This guy is just nonstop! I understand he has had a very successful month. One thing you have to remember, you don't have to always barter for engine parts or oil. Keep an open mind to some of the everyday expenses such as eye glasses or dining out. The money you don't have to spend on these things ...

Hi Janet,

Have you tried any of the programs out there to get sponsorship?

One thing I would recommend is don't undersell yourself. Also, what are you offering these sponsors? What do you guys do beside race at the tracks?

Mr. Veldheer I recently purchased your CD on the Sponsorship Coach. I really like what you have done and I am in the process of putting a proposal book together. I would like to ask you a question. I have a couple of businesses I would like to approach about some advertisement on my NHRA stocker. I ...

Dana, Congratulations on getting your foot in the door! The bottom line with any sponsorship success is creating a partnership. Remember that they want to get some benefit from this. I am not sure at what level you race, but regardless, you have a great demographic for the U.S. Army. Not only do you...

Lots of good ideas were given by Nina Murphy in her interview. But one I have never thought of is taking your race car to a fund raiser car wash! Support the community while getting media coverage. That's the way to do it!
