> [@Year end pictures...](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/year-end-pictures/20719/2): > > A friend of mine is into pure stock racing at the valley and I am looking to get into it along with him. I am going to be starting off in the 4 cyl. class for a while so I can get used to racing and the track. However, I cannot do anything unless I can get some sponsors. Therefore I am looking for some small businesses that would be interested in sponsoring me. As far as amounts, I was thinking of doing a package type deal but I’ve never done sponsorships before so if it seems too high or too complicated, Im willing to negotiate. I just have to make sure I can get enough sponsors before I do anything. > Here are the packages I was thinking… feedback is welcome. > Complete hood: $1200/season > Complete trunk: $1000/season > Front fenders (12"x30" decal): $500/season > Rear quarter panels divided into 6"x20"ish decals: $300 each > I will also need a graphics sponsorship basically just doing the graphics for the car during the season (replacing decals that are damaged). I would like to also get a sponsorship for the metal/metal work (roll cage being a big one) as well as motor work. > Again, I am just starting off, so nothing is set into stone yet, and I am negotiable… however I will not be doing anything until I have enough sponsors that are 100% in before I do anything. > Please let me know if you are, or know someone who is interested… or if you have feedback. > Thanks > > Kenny hey its fucking hard to get sponsors i have been doing it for years as a hobbie b4 i raced i used to make resume up for our drivers modified,prostock,purestocks. when i started racing it was harder all i had behind me was a bunch of gocart racing wins and i was 15 i went from purestock to prostock in 3 seasons and finished 2nd in points over the years it has got alot harder with the way $ is now look ware i am. my career has been put on hold untill i move to nc. not the mention theres alot of risk invloved on the sposors side.Your best bet is scrape a car together build your name as a respected racer and hope for the best remember the only way to make a small fourtain in racing is start with a big one. Racing is the best feeling in the world but after a year you will see your eating cracker for meals lol and if your cars wreaked you will have nothing to show for all that $ & work. good luck if i can help with any question let me know. (build a resume) you have to make the buisness see that they will have a return on there investment. sponsors are alot of work you are there bitch do what they say when they say work on advertising there name at all times if they dont get feedback your history. most sponsors will only give you very little $ at first to test u . just a idea dont put $ amount that you want talk to the people and see what they offer. (ps get a profesional to look over your resume i always have to.i suck at spelling lol) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/looking-for-small-business-owners/245586)._
