THANK YOU to our patrons who pledged their support to us during December! Thanks to your support, HeatFinder can continue to grow - more about that below! We are happy to say both of our Public race servers are up and running on high-quality networks in central and reliable locations. Help us reach for the skies! Our next funding goal will allow us to deliver a trophy to the driver champions of HeatFinder Leagues series! With the amount of work these champions put into their online racing careers they surely deserve some hardware to go along with the work. Can you help us do this? HeatFinder has always been and continues to be funded through donations and operated by a staff of dedicated volunteers. We continue to face rising monthly and yearly expenses for our servers. With your support, as little $1 per month (that's about 3.5¢ a day) you can help us improve our service, increase and improve league racing and grow our 15 year old community! Please consider making a pledge to HeatFinder... Your pledge of just $1 WILL make a huge difference!

We are also looking for community members to join the HeatFinder team as Writers, Editors, League Officials, Series Directors and League Moderators, are you interested in any of these roles? Contact DusterLag via support@heatfinder.net and let us know how you can contribute. We are asking for your support through pledges, we have several goals setup on our Patreon page that begin with funding our monthly expenses. We are collecting pledges through a great service called Patreon at patreon.com. With Patreon you control how and when your pledge is made, you can adjust your pledge or remove your pledge at any time. Patreon is a crowdfunding company founded in 2013 in San Fransisco by Jack Conte from Pomplamoose of YouTube fame and is often used by Podcasters, Musicians and Artists to support their creations. Think of it like an ongoing Kickstarter but instead of funding a single project with a single goal and single payout you are pledging an ongoing amount per month (as little as $1). This pledge can be adjusted or removed at any time. If you want to make a one time donation simply pledge for a month and remove your pledge after your account has been charged for that month a few days after the beginning of the month. Making your pledge is quick, simple and requires little information, you can even pledge anonymously or via your existing PayPal account on the Patreon site! Please consider pledging as little as $1 a month here... heatfinder.net/donate Thank You, DusterLag HeatFinder Co-Founder / Lead Administrator
