Update #1: We hit our $1k of $6k goal!

Posted on May 28, 2009

Hey all!

Thank you all so much for your pledges -- Drive A Faster Car has hit our $1k of $6k pre-relaunch goal! We are very excited to begin being able to really move forward towards DaFC 2.0. These pledges will be used for paying our new writers (!!!) over the next couple months to help build up the content and integrate in some of the new terrain we will be venturing into.

Please reach out if you have any feedback, suggestions, rants, etc! Those of you at reward level will be contacted as soon as a date has been solidified for the launch and launch party. Right now, we are optimistically looking at July/August.

The fundraising will continue until June 4th -- if we can continue to exceed our $1k initial fundraising goal, we will be ecstatic! Your promotion of this effort has made it all the more rewarding. (Financially and that warm fuzzy inside stuff too. ;) )

Thank you for all the love, reads and support!
Tessa
