Well, I contacted Stoneman in hopes of sponsoring this site, which of course would allow me the privy of advertising items I sell, Group Buys, Raffles etc.. he might still be working on that, not sure... of course all the "lets fuck with the new guy posts" may have put that on a back burner, but I hope not. I understand hazing, as you should know being military and all
On top of that, sponsoring the site, my plan was to put feelers out for racers (yes I know 90% on here are road racers/track racers) that A. could use sponsorship B. would represent their sponsors appropriately (not only having a decal on a bike, hell any idiot will throw decals on doesn't mean shit, but being able to list their sponsors in race run cards, and at the podium when placing and to friends/opponents etc...). My company is small, so its not like a huge thing where we're giving away products (understanding most racers, no matter the form, need tires, brakes, fuel and run card costs..) but as you mentioned with Vortex, giving the racer the best possible prices for products we carry, which the list continues to grow weekly.
Currently we carry, deal, or otherwise the following:
Carrozzeria Wheels, Galfer Brake Products, Speedohealer, all products from Brocks (obviously more drag racing oriented, but PCIII's and some other stuff of use no matter your flavor of riding/racing), Power Bronze (mostly appearance stuff), Bike Effects products, products from Tucker Rocky and Parts Unlimited, etc.. as well as our own products like a turbo kit (currently only for Hayabusa and GSXR1000) and Hayabusa 1397cc engines... I'm sure I'm leaving a lot unmentioned but this post would be painful to sort thru listing individual items etc..
So in short, yes I'd set up sponsoring riders, but helps to sponsor the board, or at least advertise w/o the ban hammer coming down... so normally to advertise the owner of the site collect payment or discount on products in trade. Will see what comes up.
Thanks Doc.
