Support My Racing Dream

Hi there! For anyone who doesn't know me my name is Bryce I'm 19 years old and have a passion for racing race cars in the virtual and the real world. I live in Beacon NY hoping to achieve my dream of becoming a race car driver. Any support means a lot and will be appreciated, Thank you!
Here's a bit more about my story:
Hi, my name is Bryce Rodriguez, since I was young I’ve always wanted to become a racing driver, but I never had to budget to do so. Instead, I’ve been a sim racer for over 10 years racing virtually, and I’m in the top 3% of drivers in iRacing. (iRacing is the leading sim racing platform with real-world racing drivers from F1 World Champion Max Verstappen, to Nascar Legend Dale Earnhardt Jr, using iRacing and others.)
Last year I was chosen out of 200 contestants to compete in the PT Autosports Aspiring Driver shootout. A once is a lifetime chance for diverse juniors to chase their racing dreams. This is a real-life competition for a $100,000 partnership. A three-day event testing driving skill & technique, physical fitness, media
presentation, mental grit, and more.
In the event, I drove a manual gearbox (stick) car for the first time, yet alone a real race car ever. I finished 2nd place in the event with a hard decision for the winner. Being able to have a chance to live my dream and chase it was an experience I never thought possible.
While I didn’t win the event I showed I had what it takes to compete against 7 other experienced drivers and come second. Racing is a very expensive sport and I’m hoping to raise $5,000 by the end of the year to use towards car rentals, driving coaches, and more to help me win this year's 2023 shootout ($100,000) and achieve my goal of becoming a racing driver and doing what most would call impossible and I know I can’t do it alone. I need your help!
