We try really hard to make sure that we keep good sponsors on the site that work with us and the members of the site. You have surely seen names come and go and I want you to know the great ones and the ones that haven't worked out so well too. Charles from StreetNtrack is awesome to work with, he answers my emails late at night and always responds to emails.... I appreciate his willingness to help.....
I was contacted back in January from Cloud Nine Motorsports wanting to advertise on the site... I agreed and the deal was for a 50.00 item per month for raffles... Feb, March, April, nothing produced to raffle. I took the banner off the site and of course I immediately get contacted to work it out. I reluctantly put the banner back up on the promise that a great product had been ordered and received and they only needed to ship it to me, that was 11 days ago and nothing has been received.... You judge if you want to do business with this company, I cant even call them a sponsor because they never gave us anything to offer to you......... It bothers me to have to put garbage like this up on the site but if I'm getting the run around I can only imagine what goes on with others.
I dont want this to sound too one sided so here is a copy of the email thread..

Its been a month to the day, whats the scoop? I have folks that are wanting your space......
This is ridiculas, we are on month 5. I think that I have bent over backwards to accomodate your new business but I cannot continue to supplement your marketing. Surely you are making money on the site.... Let's just stop waiting on the product and you can send me 250.00 to get caught up and then you can send monthly after that..

Well here we are April 12th, 3 months after I put the banner up and I still haven't received anything from you. I am taking your banner off the site and won't be putting it back up. I see that I have been sending many opportunities to you over the past several months so you win.
