I thought I would share with you guys some of my good news, I want to tell everyone, since to me it's a big deal. Anyways, last October, in Pomona at the NHRA Sport Compact Finals, I met Joey, a rep from Tokico, he said that him and his daughter saw me racing (at that time I only had NOS, I/H/E) and wanted to talk to me more. He said that they were looking for a girl racer from california, that is starting at kinda the ground floor. He told me to write out a proposal, talk to the marketing manager, and see about a sponsorship, anyways, lots of time goes by and I am thinking that I didnt get approved. Well Joey calls me and asks if I'm going to be at SEMA, I said I was. So on saturday I go up to the booth and see Joey, he tells me that he has good news for me, that I was approved for the sponsorship, he said that there were many proposals summited and only a few were selected, including me!!!!! So guys I am sponsored, I am getting the full suspension, also a helmet, a racing seat, and he says that if I show consistency (going to the races I said I would) then more things will be negotiated into the deal!!!
I thought I would share this with you guys, since we all love the same thing RACING, and now that I have a little help, things will be just a tiny little bit better.
Thanks for reading my story !!!!!!!!!

maybe i should become a chick.

dude...being a girl really does have its advantages. But non the less...she must have presented her self well and did send in a proposal. I always had the thought of getting a super hot chick, promote her as the driver of my car and having us make the switch in the trailor so id drive. It would be a gold mine I think.

Suprdave

Man, that's like bringing a hot girl to a sausage fest...she's gonna get the good beer.

We are at a huge sausage fest (Racing) and the chick came and is drinking rolling rocks while I'm tappin a keg of Old Milwaukee...

You Gold Mine idea is great bro...but I think it's funny you wouldn't let the girl drive your car Smart man...heh

kamira

Oh i completley understand the marketing standpoint of it. ITS GENIUS. I bet this girl is smoking hot too. They are probally like man all guys will droll over her racing, even if she loses people will be rooting for her and watching the car. AND IF IT HAS TOKICO logos on the car thats a greatttttttt marketing idea. Supose she goes to 4 races. Magazines , and crowds will be all over it because shes one of the few girls acctually out there drag racing. SO saying all that i understand, ITS SMART. I just am bitter. AND IM VERY VERY DRUNK, MY BUDDY FROM MEXICO BROUGHT ME BACK SOME MEXICAN TEQUILLA SO IM

But anyways whats up girl, whats your name, Lets get a picture, lol goto do allitle pimping after the insults.

shouldn't there be a prerequisite that you need to be able to spell sponsorship (or at least be able to click on the spell check icon)before you can receive one?
