Thread: A LONG day at the track...

Sponsorship is like running a business. You have to put together a proposal that shows a potential sponsor the benefit you can provide to their business. I suggest you aim toward non-automotive sponsors because automotive companies are the ones that everyone goes to first. When I was bracket racing, I got a sponsorship from a McDonalds franchiser that had a restaurant on the way to the track. I put together a proposal that showed him how I could get the people going to and from the races to stop at his place. I had the golden arches painted on my car, he paid for it. And I handed out food coupons for a free order of fries to everyone I talked to at the track. My kids helped me pass them out too. In return he paid my entry fees for the car and a crew member for each race. I had to show him that I attended the race. And committed to running a minimum number of races. I also added into the proposal that if I qualified for season ending finals he would help with my expenses for that. I actually sent my proposal to several restaurants, but the McDonalds guy was the one who bit. It worked out very well for both of us. That's just one idea for you to consider.



Glad to see you got that nice check!
