Daniel Erickson supporters, you have the chance to win a Formula Ford track day, a Ferrari road tour or a Snowy Mountains holiday - but you have to act quickly. Each of the three prize draws has only 100 $20 tickets - and they're selling fast!
The draws are part of Daniel's latest fundraising campaign to help him continue racing in the American F2000 Championship Series. Returning to the USA is a matter of 'unfinished business' for the young Sydney driver, who stunned the F2000 Championship Series regulars by almost winning the first two rounds at Virginia International Raceway on April 9-10.
In round 1 he qualified on pole position with a new circuit record, then finished second in the race by 0.213s after mis-timing his first ever rolling race start. He qualified on pole position again in Round 2, and led the race until less than three laps from the finish, when a loose spark plug lead dropped him to 10th place.
The third and fourth F2000 Championship Series rounds are at Road Atlanta, Georgia, on May 6-8.
"Even though Virginia was my first F2000 race meeting, on a circuit I hadn't seen until the Thursday test day, I'm disappointed at missing out on those two wins," Daniel said. "Now I'm determined to show everyone that it wasn't a fluke."
He isn't daunted by the prospect of racing yet again on an unfamiliar track.
"I'm used to getting up to speed quickly on circuits for the first time, having done it most of last year in British Formula Ford," he said. "Road Atlanta would be another new experience, but unlike at Virginia I'd be familiar with the car!"
