guys you call it a scam, but i talked to some reputable people over at top speed about it. You will only be able to buy parts through racer x itself nobody else. They give you wholesale prices and half it or something like that. Its an online thing for them. They are backed up by motorex, and buschur racing?? I forgot either way if you feel scammed give motorex a call to confirm their sponsorship of Racer x. Remember you are only limited to what racer x will sell to you

Sup peeps Racer X called me again today.

I ask them w/ the $10,000 can i get anything i want for my car they said that should be no problem.

I also did alot of research Racer X they are w/ the BBB Better Business Bereau, and I also called motorex they said they back Racer x 100 percent and they said "Racer x is reputable."

I think to this point I might take the sponsorship from Racer x.

"Opportunity only knocks once"

like some peeps said you have to hear it n see it 2 believe it n I did.

JESUS GUYS i guess none of you listen. look at thier webpage. LIke i said before, why would they sponsor people to get thier name known when thier whole web page is about gettig sponsored. THEy DONT GIVE YOU 10 GRAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY GIVE YOU PARTS(which i havent seen any) AT 52% OFF, UP TO 10 GRAND. SO THIER SAYING THEY WILL DISCOUNT YOU 10 GRNAD WORTH OF STUFF.iF THEY SENT ME A CHECK FOR 10 GRAND I WOULDNT HAVE TURNED THEM DOWN 6 TIMES. And i think the contract says you have to attend 4 BIG shows every year for 4 years, not little *** local shows where everyone gets a trophy that 10 people attend.

david you have a point, but behind closed doors lots of money can be made with just having a name being thrown around. Whether racer x gets money for sporting products we buy discounted through them or they just started with a big *** capital in order to kick things in we dont know. Lets just wait til JDM EM 2 goes through with it. JDM EM2 you better keep us posted on wassup with your sponsorship. Also like i said earlier they were backed by motorex which probably their biggest sponsor and if JDM really called them and proved it, then I would have to say its pretty reputable dont you agree? Nothing wrong with parts at 50% and going to your local shows right? IMO dont flame back or anythin yo

What does having a sponsership actually give to you? I mean I know they hook you up w/$$ and shiet like that. But what for? I mean they just don't say here, take this money and fix your ride up and advertise our name at the same time!!

If someone can explain, I would really appreciate it. Maybe I'd want a sponser for my broke *** LOL
Basically, you have to make their parts look cool. You'll end up with their banners and stickers and emblems on your car, their logo on the t-shirt you're wearing, and their name coming out of your mouth at the shows you're required to attend. You're a billboard. For this service, they give you the parts so you can win the car shows. When you win those shows, people will (hopefully) look at your car, see Brand X's parts and equate their parts to success.

There is a lot more to it than people think. No company will just write you a check for having a nice car. You'll get a lot of nice things out of it, but you'll also have to do a lot of repetitive work. I'd only suggest sponsorships to guys who are ***** to the wall in love with their car and going to shows.

The second page of the application seems pretty obvious.

A $79.00 account set up fee for your sponsorship pack, agreement and parts delivery will be charged only if you are offered a sponsorship contract valued at $10,000.00 or higher.
Option 1

Okay, so if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Sponsoring a stock car.. LOL Giving ya 10K?
LOL

Usually, places that sponsor, say they will give u discounted stuff; but that's about it if your car isn't all that great.

i got offered this sponsorship as well but i have one with two other companies and this is not how to go about getting a sponsership. You shouldnt have to send them 80 dollars to get a information packet and decals. I mean if they are willing to sponsor a stock car then why would the require 80 dollars of my money just to give me information on it. Its a scam, dont get screwed on this

Motorex and Racer X can be the same guy.
What will happen if you don't get sponsered the second year? Do they take back ALL the parts?

I don't think so. It looks like all they're doing is selling discounted parts via the "sponsorship".

yeh
that's what it looks like to me. but a discount is a discount.
My friend chirs(Toretto) witht he turbo'd 4 door got "sponsered" by them and put me on. He got a FMIC from them.
A month later they called me back after filing out the stuff, sent my contract back in about a week ago.

yes, you do have to do at least 4 shows a year with pictures.
Waiting for my decals and shirt
Sent my list of 5 most needed things last night and waiting to see what the deal its gonna be.

Figure it couldn't hurt
they said i cold come out a visit and plan on sometime this summer
they're located in Delaware
