Florida Racing History.com - Looking for Sponsors and Pictures

[ancrdave]

I'm trying to get back in the swing of things with Floridaracinghistory.com now that I'm somewhat employed again... My employer has no problem with me working on the site (I'm commission only at a small car lot) but need some help... Need sponsors!!! I need to get a new scanner to hook up to my computer among other things... You can get a business card ad on the site for $50 per year and you can also sponsor an album etc. for a bit more - just go to the home page for details... I've been reluctant to contact my current sponsors for renewall due to the economy, but I'll be calling you soon!! Thanks to Hartley racing for their renewall... Much appreciated... Ted Kempgens will be coming on board soon to help as well... Thanks Ted!! This is a real labor of love, but very time consuming... almost (actually really) a part-time job...
I know there are still plenty of old photos out there that need to be preserved before they get tossed out or forgotten... If you have some, scan them and e-mail them to me and you'll get proper credit along with the photographer if you know who that is... Once I can scan again, I'll take old photo collections too, scan them and return them to you...
Old photos are needed from everywhere, but here's some things I'm looking for:
I really need older photos (pre-1990) from Ocala Speedway and Citrus County Speedway... I have very little on the site from these two tracks...
Anything from North Florida - Lake City, Jacksonville etc. - pre 1990...
Any photos from St. Augustine Speedway
Any photos from the first few years of Charlotte County Speedway...
Any photos from Golden Gate Speedway especially 1960's...
Any early photos, pre 1980 from New Smyrna Speedway...
Any early photos 1974-84 from Orlando Speedworld...
Any early photos pre 1980 from Volusia County Speedway...
Any photos from Deland Raceway...
Any photos from Winter Haven/Auburndale Speedway pre 1990...
Anything from other closed tracks like Orlando Raceway, Eau Gallie, Sunshine, Samarana, Stock Island etc., etc.
They DO NOT need to be professional photos... many photos on the site I took when I was a kid with my Kodak Instamatic... Old "homey" photos like this are very welcome and really give each album a great feel...
By the way, you can still order Eddie Roche's vol. 2 book Florida Motorsports Retrospective by going to the home page of the site...
You can contact me by e-mail at announcerdave@usa.net or phone 9-7 at 407-704-7350...
Thanks to everyone who has been helping me keep the history of racing in Florida alive for the ages...

Forget the phone # I gave because I'm out of work yet again... just not enough traffic there to make any money... Still hoping to work more on the site though and any help is appreciated... Use the email announcerdave@usa.net... If you have a job available in the Orlando area, would be nice to know about that as well...
Have a Merry Christmas!!!
