I just heard the disturbing rumor that Visteon will only be handing out $50,000 to the 6 teams ($8333 a piece). This is a severe cut back from the $30,000 we recieved last year. Just in the beginning of Sept we were told we would recieve another $30,000 ($20,000 short of our normal operating budget). What happened? Halfway through Oct without money does not leave our team in a good position. Especially when our school's technology millage didn't pass. Though there is a slight possibility that this rumor is incorrect, I am told that Melinda Bostwick(in charge of team financing for Visteon Corp.) said it herself. We have a few large corporations in our area, but how well do people respond to "Will you give us $22,000?" I fear that our team will fold, is there any light at the end of the tunnel? Anyone out there dying to be a sponser? -- Nick Wagers

PS any other Visteon teams have any info?
