Okay folks, here is my problem:
I have been drag racing for going on 8yrs. Up until this point I have been able to do it all on my own. Now with competition bein what it is, I am starting to find myself needing help with both parts, and money.
I have sent out SEVERAL resumes, and followed up with phone calls. Tried to be as professional as possible. I have not been able to obtain a single sponsor. I don't know what to do.
I am not even asking for lots of money. Like I asked one company to just pay my entry fees for the year, which is roughly $800. I asked another one to pay for my fuel, which is roughly the same amount of money. I have asked for discounts on parts (substantial), and still noone wants to help.
I have proven the I am competent with my skills and have won many races, and even won the championship in 2005, so I do have stats to back me up.
I have offered to place the potential sponsors' decals on my trailer, and on my bike or whatever.
I just don't know what to do. I wanna race and be competitive! Do any of you guys have any ideas? Would any of the board sponsors be willing to help or share ideas?
Oh, and just to let you guys know...I am not wanting a free ride (well, I guess we all do but.. ) I just can't afford it anymore by myself. I just bought a trailer to race out of and a truck to pull the trailer, so I am trying!! I am just out-o-money!!
Thanks,
Brian
