They want a full written proposal of your racing history and experience, what shops are workin with you, what drag racing class you're currently in, current licenses you have (drag licenses, not driver's license) as well as what car you have. Very few imports ever get sponsored anymore, and without a full proposal and work up no one will sponsor you. Basically, you need to have a shop help. Gone are the days of " I'll represent your turbo at car shows with a free turbo and stickers on my car."

And what is it that you would do for the company if you received a "ball-bearing turbo"? Don't just say "I'll go to a lot of shows for you.."

Nothing in this world is "free".. You want sponsorship, you gotta earn it.

Precision is the LAST company that will sponsor you... But good luck to you if you get serious on your proposal

Remember, its not what the company can do for you, is what you can do for the company.
