how'd you go about getting sponsored?
Well I've been autocrossing for 7 years and did car shows for 3 years. I got my first sponsorship from the shop I buy all my parts from even though he's 45 minutes away he treats you right. So after spending like $20,000 at his shop he decided to sponsor me That was 4 years ago.

My other sponsors just happen to see me running at Carlisle this past May and I always run lots of magnets on my car to advertise for parts that I think work well. So Falken Tires and Vitek thought they would grab me before it was too late. And the guy at Falken knew other guys who would like to sponsor me. So basically sometimes it's being at the right place at the right time. Once you get a sponsor I like to treat them with updates and pictures and VCDs every month or so.

So far I got Falken Azenis 205/50x15" and waiting for the 5Zigen FN01Rs and Vitek products.
