Smith College Women in Motorsports
Donation protected
A group of Smith College engineering students is looking for support to allow us to compete in the Grassroots Motorsports $2017 Challenge. The challenge involves turning a cheap production vehicle into a low-budget race car to compete against other teams in autocross and drag racing events in Gainesville, Florida, in October 2017. The entire budget for the car must be under $2017, but we also need your help to pay for tools, safety components, shipping the car, and travel expenses! This is an independent student activity and a non-class project so we need industry support.
If you have questions or comments, feel free to send us an email at [email redacted].
Donations of the following amounts will receive:
$25: Newsletters with progress updates and pictures
$50: Handwritten notes from team members
$100: A Smith College Racing keychain
$250: A Smith College Racing T-shirt
$300: A year long subscription to Grassroots Motorsports Magazine
$400: A resume book of Smith College engineering students
$500: Your company logo on our banner and crew shirts
