I'm trying to help my step son with his dream of racing go-karts/cars?

I'm trying to figure out how to help my stepson with his dreams, he doesnt have the support of funding with his racing dreams, we are looking for sponsors to help him succeed, we're doing all we can to help but we dont have the funds either to do it alone, does anyone know someone whom can help him get started? He will be willing to talk with someone and put his/her logo on the cars whom sponsor him. He's 14 and has won his go-kart race on 8-19-06. Thanks for anyone whom can let me know how to go about it. Thanks|||Seeing as he has started winning a bit, it makes it easier to ask businesses that you deal with to sponsor him. Start by asking for small amounts. What is the cost of a race entry? Ask for sponsors to pay one entry fee (sponsor that race) Sponsor one race and you put the sponsor's name on the cart for the whole season! It is easier to get 10 businesses to give $25 that it is to get one to give $250.





A very good idea is to take a picture of your stepson, and the cart, and give framed prints to each sponsor. You can buy a cheap frame at the dollar store, and pay 20 cents for a good print. Do not give them this the day they pay, come back a week or two later with it, so that you are not "selling" the picture, they have it as a thank you.





When he is ready to move up to a stock car, look for a dirt track that has a cheaper class for inexpensive racing Some tracks have what they call "junkyard stock:" where it is not that expensive to run. You do not say where you are located, so I can not point you in a direction, but look at your local tracks!





Good luck!!!|||Keep entering the small kart competitions. It'll get him recognized and alot of experience. Check the SCCA website in your area. That stands for Sport Car Club of America. They have neat autocross events where hundreds of professionals and hobbyists race. That would be a great place to get sponsorships.|||find a local track , and see if he can race enduro or i believe in some areas are called junkyard class or something similiar.


Keep trying .. life is like a race you dont always win but when you do all the waiting is worth it!
