It will be the first time in history that Linux has been an active participant of the now-famous cry. "Gentlemen, Start your engines"!

Seems they're getting way ahead of themselves, from the actual source they need $350,000 and so far have less than $5,000. Wonder if there will be a refund if/when they don't make it?

According to their site:

# $25K - $50K USD : Minor Associate Sponsorship; logo appears on the car
# $50K - $100K USD : Associate Sponsorship; larger logo appears on the car
# $125K - $300K USD : Major Associate Sponsorship; large logo appears on the car's engine cover
# $350K - $600K USD : Primary Sponsorship; logo appears on the car's sidepod, and the race team name contain "Team Linux"

While I seriously doubt they will get anywhere near 350K they probably will get to 25K and thus they will have "been an active participant of the now-famous cry. "Gentlemen, Start your engines"!" Like I said, funny little two second fact with not a whole lot or real world implication.
