Sponsorship Questions...

Just a quick question, which might be dumb but here goes...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I notice some people get sponsorships from local manufacturers, mod shops, etc.
Besides the obvious discounted rates you'll get from them, what are the other advantages?
Are there any duties you need to fulfill on their behalf?
How do you get sponsorship???

Right now, I'd love to get sponsorship from Xenon...mmmmm

Usualy on their websites, they will explain what they look for in a vehicle. Most companies look for specific car colors for example. If they dont explain it on their site, just email them company and tell them why you think your car would be a good selection.

of course, like everything else in the world nothing is free. no ones going to be like "here's a free kit from us just because you asked". you have to show that your cars going to get publicity such as being in car shows or magazines. you probably wont get a sponsorship on a stock car.

A friend of mine back in high school was sponsored by a local Tampa car audio store (Audio Itch) & they gave him like $15,000 worth of stereo equipment & his end of it was to go to shows & also had to keep the car in PERFECT condition, even 1 dent or scratch & they would cancel his sponsorship & take all their equipment back.
