My 1st autocross was September 1997 So it's been almost 7 years. Actually I used to be a car show guy from 1996-1999 with my 1993 Civic Ex. Started out teal in 1996 when I bought it new. Then in 1999 it was rear ended pretty bad and I had it repainted silver.

I picked up my 1st sponsor back in 1999 before I really started autocrossing. He was the local shop I get my parts from - KAM Specialties in Reading.

I picked up Finish First Polish in May 2003 if I remember right. Falken in June 2003 (after the Carlisle show since the rep was there too and saw my car autocrossing), Taggart Performance Engineering in July 2003, Brady's High Performance in August 2003, and Honda-Acura.net this year.

Remember though that sponsorships are not about getting free parts (although it's nice) it's more about representing your company in a business-like manner. I always try to push my sponsors when people ask about my car, because they have helped me get this far
