I can be the oldest Formula 1 champion in history

I can be the oldest Formula 1 Champion in

history if given the same financial

opportunity as the top drivers in the

sport…( in 2011 I will be 55 ).

this will bring a lot of attention to whoever

sponsors me to accomplish this.

Much more attention than Michael

Schumacher returning to Formula 1.

All you have to do is start with a strong

foundation and with the right physical and

mental attributes…and the rest is all

financial. I have the right attributes, now

all I need is the money to back up the

vision.

 

Schumacher and F1’s oldest ever drivers

31 July 2009 by Keith Collantine

Has the old boy got it in him to do another victory leap? 

At 40 years, seven months and 20 days, Michael Schumacher will be the oldest F1 driver to start a Grand Prix in 14 years when he makes his highly-anticipated return at Valencia next month.

But that doesn’t bring him anywhere near the record for an oldest Grand Prix starter. He’ll have to come back in 2024 if he wants to break that…

Oldest F1 race starters

Here are the ten oldest drivers to start a round of the F1 world championship:

1. Louis Chiron, 55y 9m 19d, 1955 Monaco Grand Prix
2. Philippe Etancelin, 55y 6m 8d, 1952 French Grand Prix
3. Arthur Legat, 54y 7m 20d, 1953 Belgian Grand Prix
4. Luigi Fagioli, 53y 22d, 1951 French Grand Prix
5. Adolf Brudes, 52y 9m 19d, 1952 German Grand Prix
6. Hans Stuck, 52y 8m 17d, 1953 Italian Grand Prix
7. Bill Aston, 52y 4m 5d, 1952 German Grand Prix
8. Clemente Biondetti, 52y 16d, 1950 Italian Grand Prix
9. Louis Rosier, 50y 9m, 1956 German Grand Prix
10. Rudolf Schoeller, 50y 3m 7d, 1952 German Grand Prix

Record-holder Chiron, who was born in the 19th century, did make a subsequent attempts to qualify for the further races. His last was in 1958, aged 58, again at Monaco.

My 2010-2015 Car Racing Budget and racing background

My 2010-2015 motorsport budget, which will cover expenses for 5 years, is $45 Million USD.

I can be one of the top race car drivers in the world, “IF” given the financial opportunity…the BIG if…I can prove the point that it is money being pumped into a motorsport team, and not the athletic ability of the driver…who couldn’t win if they drove for Ferrari formula 1 ?

I know, terrible photo…shot it right in the picture frame…1972 DKW 125, my first “racing” motorcycle…turned out to be a piece of junk. Of course I didn’t think that when I saw it on the showroom.

The bottom photo is 2 years later on a 1974 250cc Honda Elsinore two-stroke..(but I only had about 4-5 races on that DKW in the 125 class (never got out of the novice class)…it’s hard to win when the bike won’t shift, and you can’t afford a “shift kit”.

As soon as I got a bike that actually would shift, and had enough power to win…I easily won my first novice race, and they (CMC) immediately moved me to the 250 Intermediate class (and I won my first race in that class).

CMC moved me to the “expert” (pro class)…in that class with a box stock 250 elsinore and little to no practice, it was really tough. I was only able to race about once every month (or sometimes less), because my parents were NOT paying the bills for me to race…and I was only doing minimum wage work at 17-21 years old.

I did beat “name” racers (once) like Eirstedt, Billy Henderson, and Jeff Jennings. It was also extremely dangerous for me to race then (looking back on it now). I couldn’t afford decent protective gear except for a helmet. I had gloves, and lace up construction boots. No chest or shoulder protectors, no “leathers” ( I wore levi jeans). No one had neck protection.

One time I damaged my regular boots in practice and I lost my racing jersey, so I raced the pro class at Escape Country in southern California in a button-up Hawaiian shirt, and van tennis shoes…of course everyone was looking at me like I was a freak. I never claimed to be a “conformist”.

Whoopie…Michael Schumacher returns to Formula 1 Racing

 

Who couldn’t win driving the best cars ?

Read my”controversial” comment at the bottom of this page

 

You probably know by now that 7-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher is returning to the sport he loves, coming out of retirement to drive for the Mercedes GP-Petronas F1 team and reunite with Ross Brawn, the man who has been such a vital part of Schumacher’s career. Here, Schumacher’s shown at Jerez, in Spain, where he test drove a GP2 car for 52 laps yesterday…all part of the process to help bring the talented German up to speed again, and to help him get used to the forces on the head and neck that only a Formula 1 car can produce.

So here’s the burning question: At 41, is Michael Schumacher too old to do well in F1?

The statement above is from a Road & Track article…my question is, why wouldn’t he win at 41 years old, or 51 years old ? It’s not like Formula 1 racing (or any motorsport other than motocross) is on an athletic comparison with swimming, running or motocross.

Let’s not over-estimate the drivers athletic ability compared to what it really takes to win in motorsports; a ton of money, a well-organized team (which also takes a ton of money)…whoever has the most money to spend will find the most talented employees…that’s the bottom line. It also takes superior technology, which takes a ton of money.

If Morgan Shepard (long time Nascar competitor) had the right financial backing he would be running with the big name drivers, and he’s 70 years old ! That should tell you something.

2010 Motorsport Budget

All of the fat has been trimmed off of the motorsport budget. I can be very effective with a FIVE year budget of $54mm USD. That is $10.8 MM per year (with most of the funding spent in the first 24 months). This is a “start-up” motorsport team.

Of course this depends on “what” motorsport you would like to get involved in.
$54 MM would cover racing expenses for a five year period for racing a Saleen S7 in FIA Road Racing.
It would also cover Nascar / Arca Trucks, Drag Racing, and Offshore Powerboat Racing.

Christian Motorsports Sponsorship

To answer this question as easily as possible…Sports Entertainment is excellent exposure for a positive Christian image…and it also shows that Christian are involved in activities that are fun and exciting…

If you have been blessed by God financially and you feel that God is leading you to get involved in a dedicated Christian Motorsports Ministry, (in which we actually race), then please contact me; donsministry.info@gmail.com

In case you do not already know, motorsports are extremely expensive. The budget figures below are as cost-effective as possible while still being competitive.

The three-year budget for a Nascar team would be $57 million USD…or it breaks down to $19 million per year. This includes not only racing in Nascar and the Christian Motorsports Ministry, but also all of the other associated ministries for a 3 year period;

Childrens/Orphans Ministry, Prison & Hospital Ministry, Homesless & Food bank Ministry, Local Church Planting, Support for Israel & Messianic Jewish Ministry, Interstate Billboard Ministry, Senior Ministry and Home Visitations, and more…

The three year budget for (International) Formula One racing would be $120MM USD, ( The first year is not spent jumping into the formula one race schedule…There is an incredible amount of time and money involved in the “behind the scenes” start-up and R & D functions, combined with the logistics planning ( transporting equipment and personnel worldwide ), and many other areas.

I would also like to get the ministry areas going as soon as possible (during the first year). There is almost a 50/50 split between the cost of the race team, and the actual ministry costs. All funds will be put into two seperate trust funds; one for the Ministries, and one for the motorsports team.

Depending on your budget and personal interests, all other motorsports are negotiable; (car) drag racing, drag bikes, sprint cars, closed circuit off-road trucks, indy cars, offshore powerboats, etc….

One big difference that you should know about this Christian Motorsport Ministry is that I will be a driver and not just a chaplain…I am not an “ordained” minister, and I do not have a degree in theology…or any four year college degree. The driver position (and calling) is non-negotiable.

I am going on faith that God is leading me in this direction. My racing background is professional class motocross ( motorcycle ) racing.

I admit it’s been a long time since I have raced, but I also believe that God has blessed me with natural born racing talent, ( unfortunately I have never had the money to back that talent, or the connections…

I got very “sidetracked” in life and don’t blame anyone. ( even though for 25 years I blamed a lot of people and circumstances ). Anyone who invests in this Christian Motorsports Ministry must agree that the primary focus is Christian Ministry…Christian witness through a different lifestyle than the “world” (society). ”

Think big….pray big ! God is Big ! As children of almighty God we can expect extreme blessings if we have faith and believe that it will come to pass, before we can actually see it happen. Is there anything too difficult for God ? I personally believe that with God ALL things are possible ! Mark 10:27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

Read the article below and then please read my statement concerning Christian Motorsports….It’s time that a Christian team jumps to the front of a motorsports project, and not bringing up the rear…if they are able to be racing at all ! “

Mystery Company buys BMW Sauber Formula 1 Team” BMW as announced that “Qadbak Investments Ltd” has agreed to purchase the BMW Sauber F1 team. The company will be represented in the team by a Swiss person called Lionel Fischer. This tells us very little except that whoever is buying the team does not want us to know who they are. The fact that the name of the company includes “Ltd” suggests that it is probably registered in one of the Caribbean tax havens, such as the British Virgin Islands, Bahamas or perhaps even the Channel Islands. Swiss trusts can be covered by the laws of any jurisdiction but are simply managed by a Swiss trustee. If there is no Swiss resident benefiting from the trust there is no Swiss tax although each of the 26 Swiss cantons have taxations schemes of their own, the cheapest usually being Zug. The main reason for establishing a corporate foundation is to preserve the assets of private individuals. Many corporate foundations exist only to increase the size of assets being held. BMW says that Qadbak represents “the interests of certain Middle East and European based families” but they clearly do not want people knowing who they are. What we do know is that Qadbak was involved in the purchase of the Notts County soccer club in England. In that case, Qadbak created a British Virgin Islands company called Munto to acquire the soccer team. This appointed Peter Willett as the chairman. He is a key player in Al Thani Investment Group, which is an oil-rich investment company based in Dubai and headed by Abdullah bin Saeed al Thani. The Al-Thani family is also the royal house of Qatar. However, while one can speculate that Qadbak is a Qatari-dominated company, it is worth noting that the name is probably an acronym for the entire region: one can speculate that QADBAK stands for Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Kuwait. There is no doubt, however, that as an independent automobile company, answering to its shareholders, BMW needs to be quite sure that any deal is done with the right kind of people who have the kind of money that is needed. The Middle East has big ambitions in the automotive world as has been seen in the recent Daimler/Aabar and Porsche/Qatar deals.

After reading articles like the one above, Isn’t it time that a Christian-based Motorsport Investment Group lead the way in motorsports racing worldwide…Christian ministries are on television 24/7, and “Marketing” exposure in motorsports is much more cost-effective than television is…and without the censorship of Christians by network television executives…I am praying and asking God to provide $80-120 million USD which covers the first three years of the motorsports team and a nationwide/worldwide Christian ministry. Formula One racing is International.

“If we are going to do this for the Lord, then it needs to be done right” Doing it right is not spending a lot of money to “bring up the rear” of the pack when racing, or not qualify time after time. We must be in it to win or not be involved at all.

2 Corinthians 6:14 ” Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers” (and this includes marriage, business, ministry, and motorsport partnerships).

A Unique, Very Profitable Motorsport Investment

ARE YOU INTO MOTORSPORTS FOR PROFIT ONLY ? THEN PLEASE READ THIS POST;

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A GUARANTEED 25% RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT ?

The unique aspect of this motorsport investment is that the primary function (other than Christian ministry), is net profit for the investor…it is NOT marketing of your brand, or an advertising tax deduction. Our guaranteed return on investment is 25% annually (for the first investor only), and the minimum amount is $25mm USD. This first investor for the start-up will be locked in at 25% annual ROI.

The next two investors (at $15mm USD), will be guaranteed an annual return of 22%. The next (4) investors (at $8 mm USD ( will be guaranteed a return on investment of 20%), and so forth.

This is NOT a stock market investment. It is a motorsport investment. This is not “multi-level marketing because the small investors will only be recruited to use their investment for brand marketing and advertising. There are no losers at the bottom of the investment scale, and there is no “never-ending” list of investors.

Any other monetary profit derived from this motorsport team will be equally divided between the team and the investors (prize money, other endorsements, technology patents, etc).

From the original investment of $25mm, the investor pool will be over $150mm within 3 years.

The best method for big profits in motorsports ! (and it's not going with an "established" race team...with cookie cutter drivers, personalities, etc.

Don Pentecost and "Rugby"

I still have the same objective…to acquire funding for a start-up motorsport team. I know for a fact that the only thing that is keeping me from a world championship is lack of funding ….and it is a big obstacle.

HERE IS MORE INFORMATION;

What this blog is all about
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes

This blog is my effort to acquire a qualified investor (sponsor) for a start-up motorsport team.

What is my racing background ?
Professional-level motocross (motorcycle) racing, with some flat-track/T.T. thrown in.

Reason for not pursuing motorsports after age 23 ?
Lacks of funds, either my personal funds or my parents. I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to race motorcycles when I was younger, but my parents never really had the money to invest. ( and parents are the number one “sponsor” of anyone in motosports ).

I never had the money to race at a top-level (and it is very dangerous to race once a month,and especially with no practice in-between)….Honestly, I never have had a job that paid enough to have money left over at the end of the month. I could barely pay for food, rent, and a car for transportation to work….

Let’s face it. Any motorsport takes a LOT of money…it is extremely expensive for the average working-class person…in fact, completely out of the question.

Motorsports are for the wealthy members of any society. I don’t want to hear the stories about poor moonshiners and Nascar, etc..it happened once in history, and that was it. This isn’t 50 years ago, and that situation also had prison time attached to it (if caught)…That was the equivalent of being a drug pusher today and being involved in motorsports.

People who race start at an early age and their wealthy parents are the “sponsor”, that’s the bottom line.

It’s a “catch 22″…after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on little Johnny’s racing “career” , then they might get help from a “sponsor”…

The only people in motorsports today are “rich kids”, (or older people who have their own business that is doing well financially), and most of those businesses were inherited or financially backed by their parents or wealthy spouse (not all, but most).

This might sound envious or “sour grapes”, but it is also the truth.
The best people racing today are only the most talented amoung other racers who have money…they are NOT the best drivers or have the most natural talent out of the entire population. There are thousands of people out there who could be the best driver in the world…if (and the big “if”), they had the money.

Motorsports are unqiue. It takes a LOT of money to get started, even at the lowest-level possible. You can walk into a boxing gym with a nickle to your name, and if you have great raw talent, you can work your way to the top in professional boxing. That’s why it’s a “Ghetto” sport. You can’t say that about motorsports…MONEY can actually make you a great driver.

A lot of people who have been involved in motorsports since they were children, are not pretty worthless a human beings (in their teens and as adults)…again, not all, but most. They have no concept of the real world (and a hint, it’s not a TV show). I know a lot of people who have never had to fill out a job application, or go through a job interview in their life !

You don’t compete in motorsports working at Burger King…(unless you are the CEO or own a lot of burger kings).

Usually the people who don’t know what I mean by “no concept of the real world”, are in that group.

Don’t tell me about your “real job” that you had for a couple of years, knowing that you could always fall back on your Daddy’s busness and/or money.

*** BUT, a lot of my experiences were n the past, and today is today.
I haven’t lost any of my passion for racing…even though there was a 20 year break. The only that changed during those 20 years (as far as racing is concerned), is that adding 20 years makes it physically impossble to race motocross at a top level. believe that motocross is one of the most physically demanding sports in the world (if not the toughest). But realistically, I can compete at a world-class level in ANY OTHER motorsport.

If you supply the financial funding, I will supply everything else that is required to have a winning team; Hiring the right personnel, organzing and developing the team, and personally being a driver who can win.

If the budget is really tight I can even drive the race transport (tractor-trailer). I have 48 state tractor-trailer experence working in the moving industry moving furniture (household goods). That’s 48 states in the snow, and extreme heat, or any other scenario. I used to say that it’s not a job, it’s survival…24/7, you were always working…even when you got home.

People think that some construction jobs are hard, physical work….Most of those guys wouldn’t last one 16 hour (or more) moving job. If you are moving furniture the “right way”, like it should be done, then NO JOB is harder physically than moving.

The point of all this is that no “rich kid” racer is going to intimidate me on the track or off. But, wthout the money to back up my claims, it’s just talk.

This is where YOU come nto the picture. Your funding puts my vision into action ( visionn2action@yahoo.com ) . The necessary funding is between $900K per year, and $200 Million USD (for a 5 year budget), depending on what motorsport we choose.

If you have the God-given talent (which I have), I can drive an Offshore Powerboat, or ANYTHING on 4 wheels.

Of course the first 12 months will be the “start-up” process of any busness (and also includes testing and analysis).

Let’s put this “VISION INTO ACTION”…

Christian Motorsport Update

 Do you have the finances and want to get involved ? Christian Motorsport Ministry . It doesn’t matter what Motorsport you are interested in, if you are lead to fund this ministry project, we can make it work with incredible (supernatural, God-inspired) results. Pray about it before we even talk in person.

Make no mistake about it, this ministry is PRO-LIFE
Make no mistake about it, this ministry is PRO-LIFE…the only “choice” comes into the picture when you make a decision to have sex outside of marriage. If you have already had an abortion, then you need to ask God for forgiveness and God is willing to forgive ANY sin if we are sincere.

Give praise to our God
  Give praise to our God…there is always a lot to be thankful for, even if sometimes it doesn’t seem like it.

How to heal America
  Prayer and following the scripture above is how to heal America…and boy, does it need moral healing !

My faith (trust) is in God and not money or formula 1 racing.
My faith (trust) is in God and not money or formula 1 racing.

Faith in God changes everything
  Faith in God changes everything, and faith (believing) means to trust that God can do what He says, not just “believe” that God exists. When people say that they believe in God it doesn’t mean much if they don’t trust in Him…the Bible says that demons believe in God, they have seen Him face to face (they are fallen (created) angels and were once in heaven)…the defining action for a human is if we TRUST in God.
