This sucks, I saw his rig for sale in ND and hoped he was just getting a new one. Baca is one of the best and I hope he gets something quick.

David is a real nice guy & I agree with everyone else - this really sucks. I saw him walking through the pits in Seattle a few years ago after he returned following a short lay-off and I told him how great it was to see him back out there - I hope we all get to say that to him again real soon...

Thanks for pointing that out Jim. I was under the assumption that it was an airline due to the name of the company, Mach 1 Air Services Inc. After a little research I found that it is a freight forwarding company that not only uses airline shipping but several other methods as well. I also had no idea that they were such a diversified company serving so many areas across the globe. This company is huge and definitely could afford a partnership with one of the bigger teams if that is what they are looking for?

Aside from my lack of knowledge regarding Mach 1 I still feel that the passenger airline industry would be a good fit with drag racing.

Baca's December 31, 2006 Blog:
Any team owner will tell you that the goal of winning a championship begins with corporate funding. Unfortunately, I was notified at the conclusion of this race season that Mach 1 Air Services was going to pursue other teams to diversify their involvement in the sport and that we would need to find a new major sponsor.

Ender's January 03, 2007 Announcement:
The announcement leaves the 23-year-old rising star in search of a major sponsor for 2007 and beyond. However, the team is confident that the favorable return on investment it produced for Revive-USA and former sponsor Bravo! Foods and its Slammers Ultimate Milk brand will help it procure another corporate backer to complement associate sponsors Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurants, Snap-on Tools, Aeromotive, Mach 1 Air Services, Impact Race Products, and Mopar.

Coincidence?

Tony, I noticed that too. Looks like Mach-1 Air Services wants to spread their sponsorship money around. Don't know if they were an assoc. sponsor of Enders last year or not.

If thus is true, it will be very interesting to see how Mach 1 deals with going from a title sponsor to a very small frog in a very big pond.

No, actually I dont. David is one of the nicest guys I have ever meet and I would rather Mach1 had stayed with him then go to Force. David needs a sponsor bad and John aint hurting at all. However, I can see the reason any sponsor would want to go to JFR. I hope David finds a sponsor b/c I cant wait for the day he actually wins a top fuel race. Bye the way, I got a chuckle out of your post. It was funny.
