Those are things you'll have to ask the company sponsering you. They all have different requirements. I could have gotten one from.a local shop here. All they required was being able to do 3rd gear entries and rocking there stickers. But decided to be self sponsored. Smart choice? Idunno. But that's what I chose so....

 

So basically its just like trying to get recruited for a scholarship or something right?

 

Yeah. Pretty much. You gatta meet there expectations.
What you and the car can do will determine what the shop decides to sponsor you for.

Mine would have been for tires at cost with free mount and balance.

 

Whatever you do, don't go to the a website like carsponsorships.com, or whatever it is. It's a crock. Getting sponsored usually requires some legwork.

 

now that we are on the subject, and its been kinda on my mind for a wile.

why doesnt this forum have a driving "team" (loosely defined)

 

How many of us on here are actively at Events?

Aside from:
You
Word
and Casey

I'd be down to be apart of it.

 

so we have 4 thats more then enough

 

Haha one person from your team shows up at an event,

"TEAM 240sxforums!!!!"

I would think atleast 2 team members would have to be at an event at the same time?

 

if you guys are serious about making a team for the site or what not i could round up some local guys?

 

IDK.

I'm I Theo only one rocking a 240SXF sticker? Mine is one the driver Quaternary window.

 

Sleepy is a drifter now too, lol

When this job thing gets sorted out, I might make us some decals.


Back on topic: you need to not only be good, but ask yourself what's in it for them? Nothing is free anymore, you need to be enticing for them. Unless you're a local celebrity on the track, like MD's Rapper Dan Savage, you're not going to get much unless you do some serious driving and sweettalking.

The more common thing thesedays is what I do: Run their decals, give them repeated business and referrals, and then maybe get some help and hookups. Ex: Zerolift, bought my SR and some other stuff from Robert, talk to him weekly just to shoot the shit, send him business every chance I get, and who was helping me on the phone with an on-track problem on a weekend? Robert.

Same with JE. I run their banners, I help spread info about them, and I got the same track help and the occasional discount.

I don't run a full quarter window of decals for nothing lol.

Gotta start small.

 

I'm interested, but I don't professionally race my s13, however, I do track day it up here in MN, and there's always people here that watch and shoot vids for YouTube. I could just get my own graphic made up here if someone wants to come up with a quip for this forum, ya know, if it's tasteful and okay with this forum entity. I honestly don't review all those rules we all read thru so I don't remember if they'd even allow it. I'm not looking for any freebies, but if nothing else it would be some free advertising for it. Then we could recognize each other outside of the forum if you happen across the vid, and say, "hey, he's got the sticker!" Just a thought.

 

I would rather just rock the forum sticker than try to assemble a "team" so to speak.

Am I the only one rocking one? Lol

 

i had one on my old chassis, but unlike you, i change cars offten

 

how about this.

design a separate forum sticker for the people that have represented there kills and only people that have shown performance on the TRACK can rock one.

 

Touche'
I was thinking just "240SXForums.com" in a good font but on a Quality 3M CF Vinyl?
The ones we have or had were just White Red or Blue in Plain text.

 

If you can somehow get that on your post, I can copy it and make my own.

 

So sticker it is?

 

I'd rock one, as the "official" support vehicle.

 

Let me just say these "Forum Issued" legit ones are gonna be on the high side due to the fact the 3M stuff it top quality high dollar stuff.

I can say that I'll post it up for others to make there own. Its like coping a teams sticker and slapping it on yourself and saying yeah I'm part of them....

I'm sure you're right, but the only way that won't happen is if we don't do anything. So......do we charge ahead realizing that might happen? Would there be any serious repercussions if it did? Would it even matter? I'm only asking cause I don't know. Even Redline oil claims driver's might have a different oil sponsor on the car, but it's redline oil in the engine.

 

you could do what you did with the for sale section? Make it to were only "Forum issued" members are allowed to even get it let alone see it.....i mean i know people will still try and copy it but how accurate could they get it unless they literally went to the side of someone's car and traced it?

 

so was my idea thrown out?

 

Of assemblying a team yeah. But I'm talking with our sponsor about having these made.
They will be of a CF vinyl haven't decided which yet, and that will be the only way to know its legit from the forum. I may even go as far as asking them not to reproduce them in the CF unless its from me or another admin or mod. That way its not possible to replicate it.

 

Thanks, Scoot, keep us posted!

 

so are they going to be available to the public or only to the top drifters

 

I have not decided how I'm going to do that yet. If anything anyone that PM's me that has been registered and some what active for a decent amount of time on here can have one. Don't really think noobs should be able to have one right off the bat.

 

I want. Even though I don't drift

 

i think i should have two because i started the thread :lol:
