    I am in the early stages of planning a D5 Comp Bonus Fund for 2023. My hope is to get the commitment of 20 companies/individuals at $500 each for a total payout of $10,000. Once those 20 companies/individuals have committed, I plan to poll those companies/individuals and come up with how the majority would like the funds spent during 2023. I have not set in stone how the payout will work and am leaving that open to the companies/individuals who contribute. This will be a 100% payout as all funds contributed will be given back to the racers.

    Currently, the following companies/individuals have committed -

    Compton CPA Group, P.C.
    Panhandle Performance Engines
    Terry Ticel Motorsports
    Harris Race Cars
    Elite Performance
    Patterson Elite
    Dakota Speed Lab
    Arrow Components
    T&E Enterprises
    Double 0 Green Hand Cleaner
    A-1 Performance Trans and Converters
    Foster Racing
    Industrial Electric
    FOGGIT High Performance Fogging Oil
    Engels Automotive, Inc.
    Coan Engineering
    VP Racing Fuels
    Metro Construction
    Arrowsmith Racing
    Jesel, Inc.
    Rooftec
    CTECH Manufacturing
    Madcap Racing Engines & Supply
    Fineline Graphics
    Gibtec Pistons
    GRP Rods
    Winberg Crankshafts
    Indy Gear
    Browell Bellhousing, Inc.
    Carter Maxwell/Goodyear Tires
    Beyer Racing Engines
    I70 and Harlan Towing

    I am still reaching out to companies/individuals as I make this post. If anyone would like to be involved, please contact me at 417-437-1669 or mcompton@comptoncpagroup.com.

    Thanks

    Michael thank you for your efforts & dedication to build & promote a wonderful program for Division 5 Comp racers. I think $500 is a wonderful investment to build this program.

    I would like to be involved & will pledge $1000

    Hey Mike -

    Thanks for the response and the pledge! I will put you down as a sponsor for 2023. If you would, please send me an email with how you want to be shown as a sponsor and if you have a logo.

    Much appreciated sir!

    Thanks to all of you, we have officially hit $11,500 pledged to the D5 Comp Bonus Fund by 21 companies/individuals (see my first post for the list). We have reached out to several more and plan to keep accumulating sponsors until mid-March. After that, we are going to work on a decal and flyer so we can make sure all companies are given the exposure they deserve.

    Edit - continuing to add companies as we are now past the $10,000 mark!!!

    Edit - Thank you to Aydan Patterson at Patterson-Elite for the additional help in securing sponsors and providing vendor contacts.

    Michael

    Thank you Rodger!

    I plan to send out emails very soon on where to send the check and start polling the sponsors on how they want the money spent. I have your email already from prior communications.

    Thank you Randy. Much appreciated! Still working through how to split the funds. Polling the sponsors to help come up with a way to split the funds. Can you please email me your mailing address and logo?

    Thank you Clint Neff from I70 and Harlan Towing for his $1,000. That brings us 32 sponsors and $17,500 in funds!
