Hello Everyone,
My "Save The Lazer" campaign is now active on Indiegogo.com.
I’m trying to raise funds to rebuild the Lazer project molds and jigs that were stolen in May.
Please help me bring back the Lazer. Even if you can’t contribute, please share the campaign:

Thanks!

Thanks for your support Tiago!
The action in the last 24 hours has been really amazing.
But there's still a long way to go, so everyone be sure to go to http://igg.me/at/SaveTheLazer and share the campaign with friends!

The Save The Lazer campaign was doing really well the first couple days and topped over 10% of the goal, but seems to have plateaued a bit...
If you haven't yet, please check out the campaign at http://igg.me/at/SaveTheLazer

Barret,
I think you need to broaden your audience. I don't think you posted on ApexSpeed - it has considerably more membership than this board. You might also post on some of the Vintage sites - they can't run a Lazer, but a lot of those guys are sincerely interested in what happens to Vee in general.

Hope you make it.
Steve, FV80

Hey Everyone,

The campaign is running out of time.
I've been trying to reach new audiences and even talked to a Marketing professor about the best way to spread the word. While I am trying to reach other potential contributors, it's really up to the Formula Vee community.

If you haven't yet, please go to http://igg.me/at/SaveTheLazer
If you can contribute even a dollar, please help today.
If not, please share the link.

Thanks!
Barret Hendricks

The campaign is now over and, though it didn't reach it's funding goal, was very successful in both fundraising and networking.
Thank you everyone who participated! Your support is really appreciated.
If anyone missed the opportunity, shirts and decals are still for sale at HendricksRacing.net. You can also keep up with the progress of the Lazer project at HendricksRacing.net or on the Hendricks Racing Facebook page (facebook.com/FVHendricksRacing). I'll also occasionally post major updates on the FV forum.
