excellent ideas Bob. let us know what you find out. Sponsors are going to want to know about exposure, so having an article or two lined up will help...at least to mention to prospective sponsors what we are working on, even if they are not definite yet. How many people do the Copperstate 1000? That might be a key difference. Chris

They do a thing out here each year, the Copperstate 1000 (or something like that), which is not a rally...it's just vintage cars going roundy roundy in Arizona. They have sponsors galore. I'd bet we'd be surprised at the sponsors we could get. We'd have to think "outside the box". I will get in touch with those Copperstate dudes and ask them how they go about getting sponsors for something that isn't a race or a rally. I'm sure they have good ideas and methods. Our possibilities could be Mobil 1, Hengst/Mann Filters, Bosch, Michelin, etc. Could go into REI (camping gear) and stuff like that. I'm sure, once we get something tenativly hammered out, Chuck would be happy to speak to Mr. Frank Barrett. Chuck is a very benevolent, diplomatic human.

The temp gauge WILL read low if there is any resistance in the lines or connections that go from the gauge to the sensor (on the side of the block). I expect the thermostat could be jammed open and replacing it is an inexpensive diagnostic (if nothing changes - keep the old one as a spare).
