So I have the go ahead to build my GP 914 to take to the SCCA Nationals next year. I landed a big sponsor who is going to help pay for a good deal of the stuff I need but would love to find more sponsors. I am building the car from scratch so I will need everything. Anyone have any experience in this or want to help me out?
I will be campaigning this 914 all the way to the National event and I believe we have the talent to take 1st and 2nd in the class. I have the advice of a few great mechanics and even one who has built a national winning 914. Any and all advice is also aprieciated. |

Step One: Win a bunch of races...
There's actually a pretty good section on 'turning pro' in Alan Johnson's "Driving In Competition." Don't take money from a sponsor whose products will slow you down. Don't take money from a sponsor you can't ethically endorse. Make a marketing plan. Show that you have a professional product. Show the event schedule and the demographics. Show the sponsors how their money is an investment that will pay off in increased sales. |

Wow, that's great advice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks. Autocross isn't the biggest dollar racing but it sure does have a lot of people who spend a good deal of money to do it. |
