Double and reigning British GP125 ACU Academy Cup Champion, Tim Hastings, is looking to race fans to get behind him as he makes the change to the ultra competitive National superstock 600 series in 2010 - and is offering friends and supporters the chance to get their names on his Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R race bike.
Falkirk-based Team Twister is hoping that 17-year old Tim's many fans will put their hands in their pockets to help in funding this year's campaign - and he will carry those supporters with him for all 12 rounds of this year's Championship.
This campaign proved vital to our funding in 2009 and played a major part in Tim's championship success, proving that, collectively, FANS can make the difference. We are again appealing to fans to back Tim in his quest to be equally successful in the four stroke class.
The team is offering three sponsor packages aimed at individuals and clubs. A minimum £25 donation will receive a Team Twister T-shirt and a sponsor listing on Tim's website. In addition, those giving £50 will also receive a direct e-mailing of Tim's race report after every round - while anyone making a minimum £100 donation will receive all the above and get their name on the side of Tim's Kawasaki race bike for the entire season. Action photos of Tim on his bike at the various championship rounds will also be signed and posted/emailed to all contributors throughout the season.
Additionally, throughout the season all contributors will go into a series of 12 prize draws to win a pair of tickets to each BSB round, where they will be the special guests of Team Twister. We are currently in the process of arranging hospitality for the forthcoming season to ensure guests are treated to a very special day out.
There will also be a very special prize of a framed, A1 size photo of Tim in action on his KRP Honda, taken at Cadwell Park in 2009. All contributors will be entered into a draw and the lucky winner will be issued with VIP weekend passes and presented with the picture at Brands Hatch on Easter weekend. The cut off for the draw is on March 31st 2010.
Tony added: "Tim had a difficult and frustrating season last year. Despite this, he showed his undoubted talent and determination in retaining the British GP125 ACU Academy Cup and we sincerely hope his efforts repaid the loyal support he received from the supporters who contributed so generously throughout the 2009 season. 2010 will present new challenges to Tim as he gets to grips with the 600 although initial tests have been very encouraging and we're confident that anyone contributing to Tim's challenge will be supporting a genuine talent, certain to be a front runner in due course. We hope that this opportunity will appeal to both individuals and bike clubs who want to be actively involved with racing and are keen to do a little bit more than just watch from the sidelines. We've already had a great response and I'm sure many more names will appear on Tim's website - and his bike - over the next few weeks."
