Sponsors
I guess some of you get it and some of you don't. For all intensive purposes, any/all of the CASC-OR Corporate Sponsors, CSC Racing products included, provide money, products and or services to the whole CASC-OR commmunity through their Corporate Sponsorship programs. In essence CSC Racing Products does support Solo II directly because the money that they provide to CASC-OR helps fund the series you run in, the rule books that you get for free, and subsidize the banquet ticket you buy for $35, when in fact your ticket costs the two divisions, Solo I & Solo II, $50.
I'm not going to belabour this whole thing, support who you want, but don't start bitching when Rule Books start costing $5, your regional entry fees are $50-60 per event and that your banquet tickets cost $60 and you have to pay for your trophy.
You have no idea know how hard it is to land a sponsor for a series that offers no return of advertising to it's sponsors, but somehow I still manage to land about $5,000 in sponsorship dollars/products/services for the series. In Solo I it's slightly easier because Solo I has an ad campaign that runs in Inside Track (that Solo I pay's for by the way).
You show me an added value to market for any of our mnotorsports divisions and I'll exploit the hell out of it to potential sponsors. Keep up the "lack of gratitude" kind of talk and see what that will bring.
Case in point, Mad Macs Communications + Graphics, my own company sponsors Solo I, Solo II & Race. How do you think I feel when I read in the forums that someone can get magnetic material for their decals & numbers cheaper at Grand & Toy or they know of a guy who can do their graphics out of his basement, etc. This busts my hump because I sell it to the competitors for what I pay for it and I'm in the vinyl graphics business. I support each division with a percentage of support based on the % of support & advertising I receive from that division. And when I sell sponsorships for each series that's what I base it on.
Some sponsors such as ActionFront Data Recovery Labs pay tens of thousands of dollars, and expect very little return, these are our "Friend of Motorsports" sponsors, but even they will not be here forever. Some of our sponsors are small companies and can only afford so much, but expect a large return. It's only good business pure and simple.
It's simple economics, you support your sponsor he continually supports your series. Keep bashing them and they'll take their dollars somewhere else. You decide.
I'm still working my ass off to ensure all of our series stay healthy, so help me make it easier to get more support, not worse. If you think a sponsor is doing a good job and you appreciate their support, tell them. If you would like to see them involved more or less, tell them. Either way tell them you know about them through your series and CASC-OR, then they'll know that their sponsorship is working.
