Seriously, who doesn’t want to be treated special and given a bunch of free stuff?

I often hear people on the forums saying that they’re building a car and looking for sponsors. Well, I want to set the record straight, from what I have seen so far: unless you’re one of a handful of people who are well known with a winning race history, you are probably not going to get a sponsor until your car is built and winning…maybe. Why would a company (aside from your Uncle’s auto body shop) want to sponsor an unknown? Of course you want a sponsor! You’re 30k (aka: neck-deep) into this hot rod project and there’s no end in sight! But, sponsors want two things: R&D and publicity; both are hard to provide with a car on jack-stands.
