We’d like to take this opportunity and remind everyone that the Port Townsend Cruise is a charity event.  Not a single penny goes into the organizers’ pockets, not even to cover the cost to put on the cruise!  Such costs include but are not limited to facility rental, staffing, and insurance at Pacific Raceways in addition to event permits and insurance for the City of Port Townsend.  As host to the Port Townsend Cruise, Achtuning covers 100% of these costs for the benefit of the entire Pacific Northwest European car enthusiast community.

Each year there are individuals, groups, or organizations that feel it is acceptable to promote their own business or product, using the efforts of the PTC organizing committee and funds put up by Achtuning to their beneift.  This tactic of poaching off our event is something we now call “cruise crapping” and is not acceptable.  Know that we have no reservations in calling out those who choose to take advantage of this charity event.

We understand the need to promote one’s business.  For the first time, we are open to offering “vendor sponsorship” opportunities for anyone who would like to promote their product or business on this cruise.  For a minimum fee (which will go completely to the featured charity) we will allow you to set up a booth at Pacific Raceways prior to the cruise.  However no further business promotion or product sales can occur outside of Pacific Raceways or within the City of Port Townsend. If you represent a business and would like to contact us about these sponsorship opportunities, please send an email to info@achtuning.com with subject, “Port Townsend Cruise Sponsorship”.  Do the stand up thing and make the small donation to the charity and support the community that supports you!
