Hello Anti-83 Members.
Exciting News Anti-83 Friends.. I am proud to introduce to you the Team New Mex Express Rally Team. I know this isn't the typical thing you see up here. But this is a close knit group and thought you should know about my effort. I created a blog (http://teamnewmexexpress.blogspot.com) to post up to the minute information and news. I will be entering the 2008 Dustball 1000 Rally (think cannon ball/u.s. express) in August of this year and am doing my best to prepare. Who we are: Driver: Matt Ruybal Driving Experience: Multi Regional and National Race Winner in Go Karts, INEX Legends, Mini Sprints.

If you are interested in sponsoring our effort please email us. Thank you. We are looking for sponsorships! So far team new mex express have covered the entry costs. We are hoping to raise funds/donations to cover the rest of the expenses for the Dustball 1000 Rally. The sponsorships and donations will be split between costs to support the team new mex express during the rally and preperations of the rally car, both before and during the rally on August 9-10, 2008 We are actively seeking sponsorships and donations for this unique opportunity and will donate a portion of our donations/sponsorships to a charity to be determined on need and by direction of our sponsors.

Your name will be put on the car. 10 sponsorships of $150: Your Support is appreciated greatly as well. Your donation will include your name/group displayed on our car and promotional items. One sponsorship of $500: This gift provides the sponsor with a 12 inch by 12 inch logo/name sticker on the rally car, your name included in any team publications and a rally team shirt. In-Kind donations are always welcome too! email me here at the anti or at matthew.ruybal@gmail.com Sponsorship deadlines and responsibilities Sponsors are responsible for providing stickers/patches if they already have them on computer file of the design that we can use. Deadline is August 1st, 2008. We thank you for your support.

So Matt, the deadling to sponsor is August 1st? And that's when we need to get you the money and the sticker for your car? Or do you just need a design
that you can make into a sticker? I think the Anti will be willing to be one of your sponsors!

Wow, That is amazing. Deadline is for money and/design or both! I am trying locally for design help, but I know you all on here have wonderful talents and
ideas that may be better than anything money could buy.
We are going to donate a portion of the funds raised to Big Brothers and Big Sisters of New Mexico. The support for this effort is great! Please feel free to post any of your ideas here or if you have any questions please send them my way. |

Matt, you should think about posting about this over on MSM too. I know there are a couple of guys who race over there. I think they rice motorcycles, but
still...they might have some good ideas for you?

* Design help is our biggest need and my lack of skills is apparent in that department.. Any of the funding raised will be to use in part for the effort and in
part for charity. since these things focus on who has the best car i thought lets benefit people first.

Wait. You're trying to get cool designs for your car? As in stickers/decals for it? Explain this more to me because I really have no clue what these road
rallies are like. We have tons of super talented artists/graphic designers here at the Anti and if it's designs that you really need, I think we could help
you make a seriously killer car. I just need to know exactly what you need/what your vision is.

Ok, I will hash together some ideas. Think Cannonball Run.. Gumball 3000. Our team name at this point is New Mex Express (New Mexico Express) I am awaiting
rules on logos for this event. Like logo size limitations, placement, etc.. Should be available by this weekend is what i was told. I also want to put some
Anti-83 logos on this beast too!!!

This is what my car looks like now. We will be given a set number of logos we are required to run, those will be provided. Most teams stop there. I want to take it a bit further and promote the things and places i enjoy promoting. We will be traveling 1000miles during the journey making many stops along the way encountering people and police along the way. Here is an example of what cars in the rally have looked like in the past.notice how racing is not used, as it would be illegal to do so Rally Car Example 1

Ok, I fiddled with photoshop. I could not for the life of me get the express at the exact angle, but this is the basic vision i have. I hijacked the logo and photo. But I think a simple sillouette of the car and a New Mex Express or just Express logo wrapped on top of the car or around it would be pretty cool. Of course incorporate a Anti-83 in there.

Ok, So the above is our token sponsor photo, and below is our "finalized" rendition of a logo. If any kind souls out there in A-83 land could assist us we would be forever in debt

Back at it this year. They expanded the rally to 1500 miles over three days. Still need y'all's help if you know anyone who would help sponsor this
effort or can help with logo design stuff.
