F-Chat Driver Needs Your Help To Win Championship

Dear Fellow F-Chatters,

In one months time I will be leaving home for Auckland, New Zealand to represent the United States in the opening round of the New Zealand Toyota Championship series, the top open-wheel ‘development’ series in the world.

For those of you who don’t know who I am, my name is Michael Johnson and I am a 23 year old racing driver from Texas with the dream and goal of winning the Formula 1 world championship. I started racing in karts and have raced against (and beat many) of the top talents in the business; Scott and Alex Speed, Nelson Phillipe, AJ Allmendinger, Colin Braun, Bobby Wilson, and Phil Giebler to name a few. After I graduated high school, with the commercial significance to motorsports, I put on hold my passion of being a professional open wheel racing driver and made the decision to acquire a marketing degree. I am now less than a year from graduating and things are clicking into gear to make a full assault on Formula 1.

Although I have staying busy in karts, race instructing, and racing SCCA; the New Zealand Championship series represents my first step into professional open wheel motorsports. Rather than having a few major corporate sponsors I have opened up sponsorship to anyone with $500 bucks and a passion for motorsports and being a part of a winning team. I will carry your name (or business) on my race car in New Zealand, send you an MJ Drive shirt which was created by Kevin Paige (www.kevinpaigeart.com), a poster from the car in action, and a subscription to my newsletter. If this sounds like an exciting proposition I would be honored for you to join my team.

If $500 is a little steep for you but you still want to contribute I would happily send you an MJ Drive shirt for a $50 contribution.

For more information on the program please check out my website at www.mjdrive.com
If you are ready to join the team send a check to: PO Box 306518 Denton, TX 76203

Best wishes and thank you for your support and those of you who have already joined the team.

Michael Ryan Johnson,
