well the other day I was reading my National Dragster and there is a guy named Earnie Saxton, he has a article every few months that gives tips about marketing strategies. As a gift he offered 10 subscriptions for his publication. I was full of doubt and figured the first 10 guys that got an early start on the newest mag would scoop them all up. I dialed the number and erased it - you know the deal why torture yourself all you are going to get is rejection is what I told myself -- Just a few minutes later I redialed the number fixed my mind on getting a definite NO - just because I am not a quitter....
Guess what !? I was the 2nd caller - Mr. Saxton answered the phone himself! WOW! we spoke about the weather up here in WI - had how Las Vegas would be a better fit - until summer and the blast furnace returned -- haha . I kept it simple and direct as to not waste his time, name and address and a short thank you.... The mail came yesterday I have 2 issues to read and found another offer for Federal-Mogul / Champion spark plugs - 50,000 total awards - all you have to do is write a 300 word essay and a couple pictures. 15 $5000 awards and a few $1000 cash pay outs for amateur racers - I only scanned the detail as of right now I'm going off of memory.
well that is what I wanted to share - I overcame a truck load of self doubt - but the fact remains that I want to take the next step to make my racing program grow and expand.
being a privateer and doing it all from my bank account makes it difficult to travel beyond the upper Midwest and my team name will probably have to change.
A.P.E. is also accepting racer resumes and I have been polishing up my format -- I have not had the courage to send one to Big Jay but I might just follow through ... now.
any one else have commercial support? Drag racing is only 1 type of motorcycle racing - I also am going to try flat track at the mama tried feb 19 on a jazzed up sportster. don't have a pair of 19" wheels to put on the GS.
