Daniel Erickson’s supporters have the chance to win a Formula Ford track day, a Ferrari road tour and a Snowy Mountains holiday – but they have to act quickly.
The three prizes are part of the Sydney driver’s latest fundraising campaign to help him continue racing in the American F2000 Championship Series.
Each draw has only 100 $20 tickets, and about half of them are already sold.
Returning to the USA is a matter of ‘unfinished business’ for Erickson, who stunned the F2000 Championship Series regulars by almost winning the first two rounds at Virginia International Raceway on April 9-10.
He qualified on pole position, finished second by 0.213s after mis-timing his first ever rolling race start in Round 1, and led all the way in Round 2 until a loose spark plug lead less than three laps from the finish dropped him to 10th place.
The third and fourth F2000 Championship Series rounds are at Road Atlanta on May 6-8.
“Even though it was my first F2000 race meeting, on a circuit I hadn’t seen until the Thursday test day, I’m still disappointed at missing out on those two wins,” Erickson said.
“Now I’m determined to show everyone that Virginia wasn’t a fluke.”
Erickson isn’t daunted by the prospect of racing yet again on an unfamiliar track.
“I’m used to racing 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!”
