I am a member of the society of automotive engineers and we have a club here at school where we design, build, and race a half scale formula one race car. Every year we compete with teams from across the world in Detroit but this year, due to a mix up we missed the deadline and now have to compete in Fontana, California.
As of now it looks grim... we have to get approximately 30 people from Newark Delaware to Fontana California. On top of that, we somehow need to get a car out there as well. The school is very much against us driving it out there and our President is very much against shipping it. He is worried it will get damaged and we wont be able to fix it, especially because most of the parts are custom made by us.
I guess the biggest issue is raising the money to finance the trip because as of right now we have very little money. Our President of the club is set on not having anyone pay, our club has prided itself on allowing anyone who wants to go on these trips go. Unfortunately this causes a huge problem for me (I am the treasurer) as I am now in charge of coming up with around 25,000 dollars :help: (we have priced everything out.) Does anyone have any fund raising ideas or tips? Any thoughts, tips or idea on how to get 30 people out to California? This is becoming one big headache!!!
