first, have a car worth sponsoring, pick a direction for modifications, win some awards, and start writing letters to companies.

There should be some kind of little icon for "In Before The Flaming". I wish you the best of luck guy, but I have a feeling you're going to need some more work before being sponsored.

hey guys, lets at least be supportive.

to be brutally honest, your chances of getting a sponsorship are most likely less than your chances of hitting the lottery.

companies look for cars that are near completion, or high competitors, to showcase their names- and even then, what they give is minimal, or just a discount on parts.

your best bet, if building your vehicle is a priority, is to look into alternate sources of income. find an under the table job somewhere for a couple hours per week, or a second position part time.

if you've got the desire, you'll get there... a sponsorship is just an unlikely way. but like i said, pick a direction, don't 'rice' up your car, and keep it clean- sponsors will pay more and more attention as you win awards or achieve better times at race events.
