ummmmmmmm............no. I really wish I could get a REAL sponsor though. Then I would be able to finish this damn car. I've thought about scrapping the whole motor idea, selling all my parts, and buying a blower. Just to get something done. I'm tired of setting on all this money and not being able to finish it.

First of all plenty of guys dont get 100% sponshorship. I mean, parts at cost, which is about 20 to 30% tops is actually pretty decent for a sponshorship to NOBODY. not trying to insult.

I mean there are racers that are not getting 100% free parts, free cars ETC ETC. Are we Jeff Gordon?

Just saying put it in perspective. You get parts at cost, and you have to do nothing.

We all arent mickey and get 10k in parts for doing nothing but bumping his gums. :p

I steer clear of the people that ask for money before they give you money. In reality why dont they just give you $9865 instead of asking for the $135??? fishy i dont buy it so i dont do it. if they had 10k for you they would not make you pay $135

keeping it back on track...........The op should not get ashamed or anything....it happened to me and can happen to anyone really, they just didn't get any of my money.

I think someone should shut these mother ****ers down. They get people excited, take their money and disappear. And they have a flashy web site, but you can kinda tell they just took some pics at a car show.

This is my limited experience on the subject of sponsorship

It's expensive getting a heavy car like ours into the low 10s, let alone 9s. It's not just the cost of system upgrades and replacements, but all the maintenance, tuning, fixing, and rebuilding after the inevitable failures, really increases the total.

I do have a committed financial arrangement now, to take this car to the next level(s). Call it sponsorship, but I rather think of it as a team effort with financial and other resources pooled. It is however a business arrangement of sorts, where team members are seeking a return or some measurable benefit from the relationship.

If you have little or no experience in entering into contractual or business arrangements, have someone (who does) at least look over your shoulder.

I know I am way late on this thread... but I had to share this. When I first bought my Mustang, I was approached via email (I have no idea how they knew I had just purchased my car) that they would give me $10K for parts and I would have to show up for a couple of shows. That's it.

Well, they also asked me for over a hundred dollars. I was about to pay it, and then I asked, "what parts am I going to get and do I have a say in which parts?"

The answer was no. They wanted to hook me up with all kinds of gay import chrome and the like. Loud stereo system, etc.

Regardless, if you don't have the common sense to know that it's obviously a scam, than you don't belong on the road. Just my opinion.
