I really just want someone to pay for my entrance fees to different races and track events and maybe even provide me some performance part (don't mind if it's 'older version'). At this point, all I want is sponsorships that would pay for entrance fee, tires, brakes, etc. I don't care for upgrades that much (of course it's nice to have) because I am still trying to upgrade the driver.
odds are it's not for you. getting that kind of sponsorship is extremely rare, IMO you'd be better off negotiating it on your own with a prospective sponsor.

What I can tell you is that one of our staff members is part of their sponsorship program and he already has over 7 sponsors for his 350Z. So I'm guessing it does work.

Yeah, it does work, but when people think "sponsor" they think of getting paid, which isn't the case (generally). What you do get are extremely nice discounts for sporting a small sticker.

Yeah my friend did this sponsorship thing...
it's not really a full fledged sponsership where you get free mods...
more like you pay 50 bucks or so and then you get discount prices on products from whichever two sponser they assign you too.

you can expect to pay their processing fee and then get discounts on the stuff you don't have money for.

oh wow.




the idea behind a sponsorship is that you are reppin' a company's product. you need to convince them that their sales will go up if they give you free (discounted) ****. if I were you I'd come up with a better pitch and try again.

You do know that the first year you work with them is a trial year right? In order for you to obtain full sponsorships through them you have to prove that your willing to put in the work and stay true to the program. You do know this right?
