I was just doing the bookface thing, and across my feed came the Brakim Racing guys with an article or update or something.
Went to their page, they have 30,000 likes 
Just curious as to who they are, they are doing serious work getting exposure! |

Is that honestly what you think of him? What about the guy who earned a lot of money through his own personal business and decides to spend that money having fun rally racing instead of boating, or golfing, or horses? He's a good guy, he let me and my wife stay at his place on our way to STPR, did some testing at the land that he owns. He knows how to market himself and what people want to see (like K  which in turns means more opportunities for sponsorships and getting things paid for.

Aaaaand. You're wrong. As Matt Conte has said, Brandenburg's money is his own, from his own business. He's never run a Subaru, to my knowledge. The Bimmer is his 2nd rally car. His first was Greenhouse's old, well used and well thrashed Neon. Matt and his team are having a ton of fun and running events with both sanctioning bodies in the States, as well as doing some Canadian stuff and hillclimbs. -Brian |

I kind of figured this would be an interesting thread
 Like I said, just curious in a "who the hell are these guys" kind of way.
Nonetheless, keep it up Matt. No harm in spending your hard earned money the way you want to, if anything, you've done it the proper way

Don't worry Matt. JVL hates everybody at times.
$8k is not bad at all for marketing. You can spend that annually with many magazines and hardly gain any impact. What I want to know is, why the change from planning to go for Rally-America 2WD National Champion next year to trying to rally a Lamborghini? Grant Hughes |

oh John the education you would need in life and rally in order to see any of this with any validating view worth expressing would take me so long I just don't have time for it right now, go watch some of my shitty videos or something, I'll send you a signed poster if you stop pissing about? t-shirt? coffee mug?
end negotiations? lol ok anyway guys the plan I was asked about and questions etc. we are running rally america 2WD nationals in a e36 M3 next year this much is certain (assuming we can afford it, we really aren't sitting on cash like everyone thinks we work hard play hard, life whatever) we HAVE sold our ferrari we ARE buying a lamborghini, we ARE trying to work a deal with red bull... the RED... BULL. lamborghini ... bull RED BULL get it duhh we're going to try to break our 156 foot jump record at 107mph in new york at ESPR in the lamborghini next year, I'm aiming to break ken blocks jump distance from his discovery channel tv shoot if possible WE ARE STILL WORKING THIS IDEA [BETALOL]
The lambo will be running hill climbs and tarmac events until our gravel conversion and testing is done, we are rush aiming for sandblast but VERY little chance of it happening, when it works out next year and its gravel tested we'll be on a NASA stage with it and I'm sure a few rally america exhibitions BUT WE WILL BE FOCUS ON 2WD NATIONALS IN RA with BMW we have a hill climb to pack for, send future hate etc to brakimracing@gmail.com but make sure you read my bio before the blah blah JV whoever you are "john" I've always known you as a bit of an asshole for no reason and thats fine we don't have to be friends, you're nobody to be me my man. wish you nothing but the best. off to the hill, gotta climb it.

Child, you are delusional if you think you can teach me anything about any kind of racing... and if you think any of your wanking means anything...Its wanking. You think you're any good? Obviously you do  ---then why haven't you already moved to where hard racing is: Northern Europe?John Vanlandingham Sleezattle, WA, USA Vive le Prole-le-ralliat www.rallyrace.net/jvab CALL +1 206 431-9696 Remember!
