2014 NAMBA FE Nationals Asking for Class Sponsors and Donations/Prizes

[longballlumber]

Hey Gang,

The week of June 23rd 2014, the Mid-Michigan Electric Unlimiteds (MMEU) is hosting the 2014 NAMBA Fast Electric (FE) Nationals at Shadow Lake on the grounds of the Northern Oakland Elks Club in Leonard, Michigan. The MMEU Club has a long standing tradition and reputation among respected FE boat racers for the events they host. Since its origination the MMEU club routinely hosts events that draw racers from across the United States and Canada. In 2005 they drew 62 competitors and over 500 boats, making it the largest FE event in NAMBA history. This year will be very similar in size if not larger! This year’s NAMBA FE National event already has over 50 drivers and over 430 boats entered! Of the current entrants we have racers coming from California, New Jersey, Canada, Florida and everywhere in-between. We also have an entrant coming from China!

The success of the 2014 NAMBA FE Nationals would not be possible without the support of distributors, manufacturers, merchants, and racers through donations and class sponsors. We are asking for your help as a sponsor by donating products, gift certificates and/or discount coupons to be used as door prizes as well as raffle prizes during the event. We are also seeking class sponsors. Class sponsors are only $50 per class. To show our appreciation for your generosity and to help promote your products/company we will give you credit over the PA system throughout the 5 day race, during the raffle drawing, and during the trophy presentation. We will also be printing out a race program for the contestants. In addition to having your business name printed, we can also accommodate company logos assuming you have one to provide (via email). This is a great time to advertise your products and services! We would also like to invite you to send your banners, signage, stickers, or other items to highlight your products and your company.

Event discussion and details can be found in the following thread with lots of great information about the event. http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/showthread.php?43437-2014-NAMBA-Fe-Nationals

I intend on keeping this thread dedicated to those who will be helping to support the event with class sponsors, products, gift certificates, and discounts!!!

First of all this year’s title sponsor will be a duel effort with:

OFFSHORE ELECTRICS.COM (www.offshoreelectrics.com) and AquaCraft Models (www.aquacraftmodels.com)

A big THANK YOU to Steven at OSE and to the AquaCraft Management Team! We are all truly grateful for your support of our beloved hobby!

Morning Gang,

While we have had a great response for class sponsors and for donations/prizes, we still have several classes that are lonely and need a sponsor. Also, we are still accepting products, gift certificates, and discount coupons to help support our door prize bags and our raffle. No matter how big or how little, the club would be very appreciative of any support you can offer.

If you have any questions or comments, Please let me know.

Thanks
Mike

[longballlumber]

Hello everyone,

We are getting closer and closer to the biggest FE event for 2014! I still have several class sponsorship openings, as well as, sponsorship for the Scale Concourse classes. Lets see if we can't get all of these filled up with sponsors!!!

Thanks,
Mike

[BILL OXIDEAN]

[longballlumber]

Good Morning Folks,

We are getting closer and closer to this event becoming a reality! I have a HUGE update (no-pun intended)

We would like to give a BIG thanks to BUBBLE GUM RACING and give them The Provider of Power sponsorship award! Bubble Gum Racing has been working with the MMEU Core to provide a large generator which will be supplying power to all racers.

Thanks for your support!

[longballlumber]

Hello All,

I added a few more vendors to our growing list of supporters. Again, THANK YOU to all! Please take a little time to take a look at our list of supporters for this event and do your best to also support them as racers. This hobby really relies on all of us (buyers and sellers both) to keep this delicate "eco" system working.

We are only a few short weeks away from this event getting kicked off.

Thanks
Mike
