THE FIREBALL RUN ADVENTURALLY SOUTHERN EXCURSION 2011 Team "Raptor" Sponsorship Opportunity 
Ari Bayzid, Star Car Central member and TMPCC Executive Committee member Peter Corel welcome all television and motion picture studios, corporations and business professionals to sponsor Team "Raptor" for the 2011 Fireball Run Adventurally (Adventure Rally). The Team will be competing against NASCAR Driver Geoff Bodine, Shuttle Astronaut Winston Scott and many other personalities. This is a unique opportunity to promote your business in a nationwide event, for brand recognition and customer awareness through an extreme but charitable event. All sponsors will be mentioned at the numerous television interviews which will air at the local and national level. Other media exposure includes: print media, Facebook, YouTube and other social media outlets, not to mention DVD sales of the event, as well as countless photographs and videos taken by your potential consumers. Major networks have shown extraordinary interest in producing the event as a reality TV show, but no timeline for production has been given as yet. The Fireball Run Adventurally is one of America's most popular motoring events, also known as "The Race to Recover America's Missing Children". This event is the largest awareness campaign in the country which has aided in the recovery of 35 missing children.In 2009 the Fireball Run became an inspiring documentary movie and now all Fireball Run events are filmed for all to enjoy. The competition is intense, the characters are real, and their message will inspire you. "This isn't reality TV, This IS REALITY!" The Fireball Run Adventurally is based on the The Fireball Run Transcontinental Rally, which was a surreal, if not out and out wacky automobile road rally. Unable to find a word that could accurately describe this city-interactive, character driven rally, we decided to create our own word, and in 2010 "Transcontinental" was replaced with "Adventurally". 2010 POST EVENT FACTS:
This year, The Fireball Run Adventurally will start in Melbourne, Florida on September 23rd and will span over 2500 miles, 15 cities, 8 days to finish in Gulfport, Mississippi on October 1st. INTRODUCING TEAM "RAPTOR" TMPCC Executive Committee member Peter Corel was asked if he would participate as a co-driver and he enthusiastically accepted. Ari and Peter have known each other for over a year and are both commited to help the cause.... and to have fun at this event. Peter helped Team Time Car in 2010 via email and text to find clues during the race. This year he can prove his talents in action at the actual event. For detailed sponsorship information about Team Raptor (this is a Team sponsorship only) please contact Peter Corel at corelp1@yahoo.com.
