Last Saturday was the first meeting of the season for the 2013 Bearcats Baja Racing Team. This meeting was pretty basic; we talked about general design parameters and limitations, goals for the year, lessons learned from last year, and also talked about sponsorship. It was a good meeting - I feel much better about the buy-in from the team now. Our next meting will be in three weeks.
This week my primary task is to get a sponsorship brochure/package/thing together so we can start asking for money. We need to raise something like $32,000 - at least - to fully fund the team this season. I'm in contact with a couple of people to get a logo designed for the team. I really like what Bearcat Motorsports (our FSAE team) did with theirs, but I want to be original as well. We'll see how that turns out.
It's looking like it'll be a good year, but there's a long way to go yet! I plan to post something each week for my own benefit, just keeping track of accomplishments and deadlines and the like, so that I have a record for myself and for future team leaders. Did I mention I'm the Team Manager/Chief Engineer?
