Since 1968, Parma International has been a leading manufacturer of quality slot racing products. Our cars and controllers are used for Home Sets and Commercial Raceways worldwide. During the mid 70's, as Radio Controlled cars gained popularity, so did Parma RC bodies and accessories. We have been designing and producing a wide range of crystal clear bodies for racing and fun! After over 40 years, you'll find the selection is still as large as ever. As hobby enthusiasts, we are also pleased to offer a complete line of paint and detailing accessories.

Alien Artforms returns to sponsor this years race. Jeff "Smokie" Bigelow is a constant concours winner, creating some of the most mind-bending rides in the solar system.

Another new sponsor this year is Electra Bodies, painters and detailers of fine slot cars. Ernie Koepf has been producing some of the very finest slot car bodies for some time, and now he's doing it on a massive scale. for more info give him a shout.

We are happy to introduce a new sponsor, Pit Space, the new online forum for Northern California Slot Racing. If it's happening in NorCali, you'll find out about it here first. Every scale, every style, every track. If you can't make it to the track, you can always make it to Pit Space.

If you're looking for vintage-style Thingee slot car bodies, the Imagineers at Raynoda are your best friends. Deep in their secret lair, they continue to produce the finest copies of classic designs, as well as their own twisted creations. For more info contact Raynoda.

Well, sure. Why not? It's Durl's Enduro, after all. Frankly I'd be remiss if I didn't let you know that Durl's are simply the best paper interiors on the planet. And with a new, lower price, if you're still using those crappy looking brand X paper interiors, then god help you.

If you'd like to be one of our sponsors, providing prizes or other consideration, please contact our office. It's cheap, it's easy, and it's a great way to get the word out about your products and services to racers in Northern California and around the world via our publicity before, during and after the race.

This enduro has been featured in Scale Auto Racing News, Slot Car Bulletin as well as continuously publicized on Old Weird Herald, Slot Car World, and Durl's web sites. Durl's also maintains permanent web pages devoted to the Enduro race reports and photo galleries, all of which prominently feature sponsor logos and web links.

This year we up the ante, creating more publicity before and during the event and more race coverage after the race. Our race reports routinely show up in Slot Car Bulletin. We'll be publishing notices on OWH as well as SlotForum International, Slotblog, Pit Space (the Northern California slot racing forum) and printing both posters and handbills for distribution locally and world wide.

While actual race participation will probably be limited to drivers from California, media coverage will be national and global, and for very little outlay, sponsors will get an enormous amount of publicity for their efforts.

> Ways YOU can sponsor this Enduro:

> Merchandise. For manufacturers of goods and services either slot car related or not, your products make great prizes. You can always specify the category (race finish, fastest lap, concours or "slotto") you'd like your prizes awarded in, too. Because this race is run by two-driver teams, it helps if you provide pairs of whatever you donate. All sponsors recieve a free quarter-page ad in the souvenir program. Larger ads are available for enhanced participation.

> Trophies and/or plaques. In the past I've designed the award plaques, placing the sponsors name at the bottom. If you want to sponsor the awards, I can do them however you like, or you can provide them. In addition, this year I plan on presenting each participant with a small commemorative plaque (which will include the sponsors name), as part of the above-mentioned race program.

SPONSORS GET THEIR NAMES and/or LOGOS featured prominently in all media, signage and reportage of the race. In addition, sponsors will be featured on the race reportage web pages. This will include descriptions, photos and links to sponsor web pages and/or e-mail addresses (provided by sponsor).

DEADLINES:

Obviously, the sooner sponsors let us know of their intentions, the better. Notices to online bulletin boards began June 16th. Sponsors will be added to these postings immediately. Posters and handbills will be printed September 24th, with later reprints to include new sponsors, should it be necessary.

Prizes/trophies/etc. must be received by October 15th, 2009.

If you have questions, ideas, or comments please contact Durl at durl@darrylvance.com

And thanks for your consideration.
