Hello and yes, I do know how many members are in Team Gates.
Many people have the Team Gates logos, but only a few have the letter that goes with them. These members have all agreed to follow our rules.
There are currently 105 Team Gates members. Our members are spread throughout the world including Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Norway, Puerto Rico, South Africa, and Sweden.

i HAD the stickers... but i may be inquiring about more...
what are the 'rules' you are speaking of?
I probably dont qualify for the elite membership you are speaking of, which is obviously more than just running with a sticker...

The rules are posted here in the forum - they are easy to follow and if you want - just read them and email me for the letter. Its easy. I don't know who all has the logos because many were given out at events and the only way I can keep track of members is through that letter.

LOL - just a wantabe? You gotta help me on this one - I sent out many things the last 2 years. The only mailing list I have is the one where I sent out the new logos when we decided to open up team gates. My problem is that we have given out many logos at shows and have no idea who has them and I mailed out logos and stuff and didn't keep a record of where they went. I alway knew I should be a better bookkeeper!!!!!
Seriously though - please email me a mailing address and I will take care of this - if you still want to be part of this disorganized bookkeeping system. LOL

Ok, this post is somewhere in the forum. We just want people to be more aware of all the items listed below. Nothing difficult or out of reach.*****
Patrick and I decided that we would like to share and encourage more people to get involved in the sport. Many competitors do not belong to a known organized team and truthfully many will not get on them - because they require using certain products, attend certain shows, win so many events, etc., and that is great for those. But we want people to go out - compete, and have fun.
We came up with a few simple requirements, which are:
1. Sportsmanship 2. Promote your products 3. Promote your organization(s) 4. Promote the industry 5. NO PRODUCT BASHING 6. Make a conscience effort to operate system in a non-obtrusive manner. 7. Respect rights of others 8. Vehicle open (please read new post-3-20-02) 9. Willingness to talk to people 10. Willingness to help others 11. Have fun 12. You must like cheesecake! (sorry-weaker moment)
If you can comply to these requirements, which are not as easy as they appear, let me know. It's that easy. We have nothing to sell and require nothing (no blood type, first child, etc.) except being an ambassador to Team Gates and the Industry.
I am sure as we go on, you will come up with others that might help to make us all better competitors and at least put the thought in the minds of others. Thanks....

Wow, did I ever open up a can or worms over one simple post. Rayme you are on that list. But you know that already.
People, its no big deal. If you have my logo - you can be Team Gates - if you want on the Mailing list, then I need to know who you are. If and when economy picks up and my sponsors give me good stuff to share, those people will be the first to get whatever I have to share.
Instead of messing up Waynes forum with this - just email me at AZSPL@aol.com.

He's talking about mine Alma. I turned the large decals you gave me and Chris into magnets (went to a local sign shop) so I could locate the logo wherever I wanted on the car and not ruin the decal. Sometimes it's on the hood, sometimes it's on the trunk. In the lanes it was on my side doors.

Rayme - if you have the decal, take it to your local sign shop, and tell them you want to make it a magnet - I think the strip for ours was around $10 each and Chris stuck them himself.

Hello David, yes, my dear friend; however,I need a mailing address for you.
You like several others are and always have been members, but have slipped though the bookkeeping cracks because I just didn't pay attention until that first post in here. All of a sudden, little red flags started popping up.
Hey, how are you doing this year? I haven't heard from you in awhile. I assume your Moms' computer is working and everything is going ok.
