Quote: I have to say, the crew is really beating the bushes to pick up sponsorship... very good job on their part
Mike,this is what needs to be done to show the racers and enthusist that the promoter is mindfull and respectfull of their efforts to partisipate and attend these events.With out them there would be no events or series. AJ's honest straight forward approach can only be applauded and respected for his willingness to take the challenge.To AJ and all involved,
hopefully now that the sponser's are showing interest, then the word will get out to the general public and the stands will be a little/lot fuller than normal.Can't wait guy's.
It's the job of the promoters,track owners and how the event is advertized that fill the stands.It's not the sponsers,they provide the funding for the event and the racers provide the "show".We have been disappointed in the past with the promoters and track owners who want to do nothing but collect money and see how much they can put in their pockets.My thoughts are no effort,no money.If you have to cut payouts and do other things to make money,then you are not going to last.We have watched how other events are handled and hopefully we can learn from their mistakes.After being a major sponser of the Curt Memorial Race for the last nine years we have seen the success and failure of both the promoters and track owners and have gained some eye opening experience.What AJ and BGR is doing comes from our hearts and love of the sport not from what we can put in our pockets.If the series is successfull we will invest in making it better for next year. Thanks again to AJ since we were frustrated with how things were handled in the past and almost decided to not have the event but AJ stepped up and asked for the oppertunity to take charge and so far we are impressed with his efforts.We are commited to support his efforts.We hope all of you will do the same,so that he can develope the series for the future.Supporting this series is also supporting eveyone who enjoys our sport.As we have great memories of the past days of racing,we want to create new memories for our future generations.
