that is not sport compact the mag. its a nockoff company called sport compact pro. trust me when i say its a huge scam. basicly all you get out off the deal its parts at around cost. i say around because sometimes its not even that much. ive been doing this a long time guys, trust me when i say that if you want to get sponsored go to every show you can possibly make it to and go direct to the company. dont go to those guys.

It is not that simple. Why would they want to put 11k into a almost stock car. And just let you drive it.

well if someone is opening a shop i think getting someone elses car and doing tons to it and making go to tons of shows is profitable. but its gotta be pretty outrageous to get attention and you couldnt drive it all the time you would ruin it

i paid the fee and got the contract.
You have to enter at least 4 car shows a year and if you don't they will charge you or sumtin after you buy parts from them.
My contract is just sittin in my room. I still don't know if i should go through with it.

Dont.

You already know how they operate. You paid them money and all you got was a list of things you have to do or you will get charged even more.

The only sponsorship I see is you sponsoring them.

thats all good but you have to think of it this way. to get there name out there and to get alot of buisness you have to have an edge. you have to go real drastic with the design or else you are just another shop. its sounds good but i will really think about it. like i said all my sponsors came on board after i had already put about 20 grand worth of mods into my civic.
