Topic: Sponsorship
So.... sponsorship?
I understand the money or what-have-you would still go towards the $500 limit, but if I used it on the safety equipment, entry fee's, gas, travel expenses, etc. it would really help cut costs on doing this for the people on my team. Most of us are closer to broke than anything else. Being in our 20's, and more of us on the early end of that spectrum, doesn't exactly make for piles of money. Especially when going to school or whatever. I do understand that getting more people cuts costs by splitting everything more ways but if I could manage to get a couple sponsors to chip in it might allow us to breathe a little easier.
I was wondering if anybody actually had experience with getting sponsors for their cars and could give advice on how to do it/how to do it right? What did you do with the money, how did you convince someone to invest something in your junk heap, and what types of companies would be best to go after, etc?
It sounds like even if we split the cost of everything evenly 6 ways it will still be rather expensive. I'm just trying to lower that cost to keep my team having a good time.
