This. Love the 24 idea. If you could get a car and drivers, you could have a team of volunteers (actual non-child labor ) to help pit crew for ya. Call me, I'd do it.

That's the way we used to do it when racing was almost affordable/do-able, now we're only a few hundred thousand $$$ shy of making it to Daytona. The good old days of entering the field of 75-80 cars at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a BMW 2002 and 1 set of tires is long gone!
I still hope and dream that someday someone or a caring corporation wants to be the hero to kids nationwide, and get my campaign back on track...

Don't tobacco companies have to pay for negative advertising? Couldn't you get sponsorship through that?
Heck, why not do LeMons and see if you can get on Jalopnik etc to spread the 'tobacco free' word? You have to start somewhere, right? Hey, if my team could get on MotorWeek, you should be able to get a full crew from a cable news channel or something out there.
If you don't mind having a fat gray haired old knee jerk libertarian/conservative with mediocre to average driving skills on the team, maybe I could help. 
There's a ChumpCar event in Sebring in Sept.!
For The World's Fastest Clown to have an impact on kids it takes credibility and marketing. Without the credibility of racing professionally, I hate to say it but, I'm just another clown... Then comes the marketing, if the kids see you in the media then you have their attention and the ability to shape their feelings towards drugs (alcohol/tobacco). While Lemons/ChumpCar would be a blast, it wouldn't accomplish anything other than a great time. If I was racing like in the past with Nissan, then with that credibility and marketing behind me, a Lemons/ChumpCar/figure 8 school bus/drag race/oval... would be another way for the kids to see TWFC. Thanks for the thoughts/ideas though...
