Nobody wants to be on the list? Remember, it will lead to sponsorship once we show loyalty and that the dealership can benefit off of us.

I never understood the point of sponsorships. Not to knock what your doing but if I were to buy a product lets say something small for instance will use a spark plug. OK so Im sponsored by this company we will call them "X" and I pay $1 for a spark plug where they usually sell for $2. So I am cruising around town and I have some emblems for "X" on my car and people stop and ask what I got from them and I proceed to tell them the benefit of using company "X". So more likely then not the person will look into the prices of the spark plug and they can find it somewhere else cheaper and they head there and "X" didn't sell an item because they aren't competitive with the competition.
So my question is whats the benefit of not having to pay as much but then be bombarded with questions of your sponsor? If I were to have a company logo on my car (which I will never do) they would have to pay me, kinda like any form of motorsports. You want a window? $300/month. Trunk? $600/month. It's a form of mobile advertisment.
So you get cheap parts... big deal. If you stick with a company long enough and show your loyalty to them they start cutting you some breaks, ie TTP, Jestr to name a few. Look at my motor mount buyout from TTP, did I make any money off of it? Heck no. I tried to get Jestr to come to Milwaukee to do some tuning, some people bit but most everyone else was still oogling Al's *******. I think Im going to have Scooter do my cam install for me.
These 2 companies are people whom I trust. Why do you think I have tried to bring all you guys into contact with them? First and foremost "customer service."
Now heres the hard part, who do I have tune the car? Since I had a Jestr tune first, obviously he's my first choice and he does an awsome job. Next up would be Scott, I've seen his work and the final outcome. Once again very impressive results.
So back onto the sponsorship thing. You have to ask yourself is it really worth the extra hassle to save a few bucks here and there? What happens if this sponsor can't get something your looking for or want? You will end up going somewhere else paying full price or WAIT!!! I can get a sponsorship through "Y" to get a discounted price!!!! Great. Another damn sticker to put on the car just so I can save 5%. So now you have 2 companies that you have to talk about. While they are still sitting at their desks laughing.
Honni, I can see why your doing this just as I talk about John and Scott. I hope it works out for you and things take off from there. Like I said Im not trying to knock what your doing and don't take it the worng way, I personally don't agree with "sponsorships"
OK OK Im done

We don't have to put they're name anywhere on our car for daily driving, just at the track once they start paying for entry fees, untill then we don't need anything on our cars.
So basically the list is for whenever you need a part you can get it yourself for a discounted price, it will not void warrantys or anything and I garuntee that.
Soon services will be included like tire mounting and balancing, brake resurfacing, any of that ish
