I DID THIS FOR 4 SEASONS[ WETHER MY GUYS WON OR LOSS-- AS LONG AS THEY WORKED AT IT AND KEPT THE CARS UP
THEN I FOUND ONE DRINKING DURING A RACE AND THE DEAL WAS DONE AND OVER[ I AM JUST THAT WAY]
YOU HAVE TO BE FAIR TO YOUR SPONSER/HONEST IN YOUR DEALINGS/ AND SOMETIMES HAVE TO PUT UP WITH SPONSERS LIKE I WAS
IT TAKES HARD WORK AND A GOOD ATTITUDE TO GET GOOD SPONSERS[ AND AS THE OTHER GUYS SAID---YOU NEED TO WIN A FEW]
None of that was unreasonable. Actually expected. Why would a company want their name associated with those things. We don't have any major sponsors,but we made both sponsorship proposals and brochures, and when we gave them out I included an autographed photo to whoever I was asking for sponsorship from. If you go to our website and click on the sponsorship link it has an online example of what the brochure looks like.
