2009-2010 Sponsors

Thank you to all our sponsors for their support!

Below is the list of our 2009-2010 sponsors. Their support allowed the team to start off the season on the right footing with a good support foundation. However, it is a long season and resources and expertise are always needed to continue our drive to produce the best car we can.

Is your company interested in joining the team? Do you think your company might have something to contribute to us? Contact us! We always welcome new sponsors who are looking for a chance to support and give back to the community, while gaining new and high-profile avenues of advertisement. Together, we can work towards the benefit of both our organizations.
