Sponsorship Questions and answers:

The number one thing you can do to get sponsorship is to send pictures and report your results during the year. There are so many great riders who ar not getting the attention they need from us and other sponsors because they never report anything all year long. I receive calls from fathers whose son or daughter is a fantastic rider they won the class nationally beat all the 90 riders with a 70 etc.

That is incredible! It is impossible for us to know all of the great accomplishments achieved in all the classes and we want to know. I can guarantee if you report your results during the prior year you are much more likely to get some type of sponsorship. Calling and telling us about what has happened in the past and asking for a sponsorship on the phone is the most difficult way to ask for sponsorship.

1)DRR has changed the sponsorship there are no deadlines.

2)All applications are to be submitted via email or sent by mail to the PO Box

3)All application become the property of DRR and will not be returned

4)Resume must include pictures of you riding or you and your units.

5)Ask exactly for what you want be specific.

6)Tell us what you are going to do for the above, Be specific this is almost like a contract.

7)All contact information

8)Report cards help other activity IE: Eagle Scout

9)Emails are preferred, make sure you follow up with an email if you get no response.

10) Phone calls are ok if it is to follow up on your submitted resume.

Quick advise for applicants.

We know how hard this process is we have racers in our own family who race and are seen regularly on Speed channel and receive less money than we give out to a much smaller audience. Be specific if you want wheels ask for wheels. All I want is dealer prices on my parts for the year. We have one sponsor who gives us certificates that we sell for oil changes and that money goes into the budget and drives customer into his business. Make sure you include what you did last year and what you are going to do this year. Example I sent my sponsor 10 pictures a race week end and at the end of the year I sent him my number plate! As a sponsor that was an awesome thing to receive. We frequently show up at car shows and promote our sponsors here are pictures from the Happy car show and this is the flyer we hand out. Keep it simple and clear it is a lot of work and you need to show a benefit for your sponsor especially in these challenging economic times. The sponsored race we are talking about talked to over 150 people before landing his first sponsor. Phone calls are typically 2 points against you and most phone calls do not come across like we want them to. A lot of the phone calls wind up sounding like threats if you don't do you know what your competitor is doing they do this and that. Yes we do know who our competitors are; you are selling your self, your family and a good image that you will project. Be specific, like I said earlier ask for exactly what you want and tell us what we get in return. If you get something on your list do not ask for more than what you got immediately take your time and develop a relationship with your sponsor.
