well as nice as im sure a major sponsorship is, know the differnce between hook-up prices and like full blow free stuff. always give props to people who help you out, even if they do no more than give you tire discounts! id say, start hanging out at local shops, make friends, and get your name out as being not just another poser kid. I get real annoyed when kids talk and are all like " blah blah ya im a drifter i race i blah blah blah" and ive never seen them at one event, which for our area makes up going to mineral wells or houston. and then i see thier stock car. my car is nothing too exciting but i can tell a difference between a stock 240 and one that has atleast some suspension work. dont just be all talk. you have to be at events if that is the path you want to take to pull bigger sponsors
basically, dont worry about sponsors, that comes with time (i guess ?
). set your self a budget and stay close too it. cars break and account for that. have fun!
p.s.- all of the people i see dedicated to the sport are in it for the fun of it. look at like all the cars who went to All-Star Bash. majority of those nice nice cars came out of pocket or hook ups. just get out there and have fun!
