Those who pledge money to the online funding drive will get kit in the team's new livery; from mitts and caps to jerseys and shorts.
Having come together to form the new TrackProject.ie team, some of Ireland’s best track riders have now launched an online funding appeal.
Felix English, Fintan Ryan and Marc Potts are hoping to attract investors and sponsors to grow their project.
And as an initial step in trying to raise some of the funds they need to foot the bill for their international racing plans, they have launched an appeal on PledgeSports.org that anyone can contribute to.
And those who donate will get new racing kit in the livery of the TrackProject.ie; with different items on offer depending how much is donated per pledge.
