Sponsored my first race class this weekend!

Had two trucks show on Saturday and it rained us out. Postpone till Sunday same time, no trucks!

Don't know what quite to think.... First thing I thought of, for me to make sure I build my truck where I can got to any racetrack and race. Doesn't appear that you can depend on these "local" trucks to race when given the chance.

How do you garanttee racers will show for an event?

how much promoting did you do ? flyers, word of mouth etc.... did you gaurantee a purse ? biggest concern of racers now a days ...... promoting an event to see returns is such a gamble ..its a business like everything else and it takes big risks


sponsoring an event ...humm ... what were you expecting out of it ..meaning what kind of returns ...


sposoring and promoting are 2 different things just curious which direction you went ???

Offer big money and make sure it is not on a weekend that already has events. Look on here how many people miss the bash and other events because they have to go to a big money/points event somewhere else.

I sponsored the race and the track promoted the race and I had garranttee winnings. Which the winnings wasn't much, just a plaqe. But that is what all the truck guys said that they wanted. They just wanted a class for them to race in. None of this tire size BS. Only rules are, no delay boxes, no throttle stops and breakout depends on truck times.
