I have called so many local business lately its amazing, and not a single one has given me anything. There were some who said they would if I called back around December but they had used all their money up for that sort of thing.
I dont think I can find anymore who would be interested, I have called everyone who has anything to gain from that sorta thing within 60 miles of here.
I am lookin more for ATV companies who are willing to do this. So far, I know nacs and sidewinder sprockets.

That is what I am talking about!!
I have asked every bike shop, racing shop, paint place, sporting goods store, insurance place, bank, car dealership, etc etc etc
within 60 miles! The only ones I have found to help out are bike shops actually!

I think to get a good sponsor, you need to diserve it. By working hard and that means by riding often and getting good quality practise, you could become what ever you desire. You could even be an "A" or pro level racer. Then you'll have sponsors after you.

Are you trying to say that only "A" and pro riders deserve sponsors?
I disagree totally, I think that a C rider could use some sort or sponsorships, even if its only a little off parts at the local dealer.
For your information I ride almost every day unless it is really muddy or my bike it broken. I have 2 friends with MX courses in their back yards and am building one myself. I ride mx almost every day, and when I am not riding, I go to the gym and work out.
I may only have a few races under my belt, but I finished 3rd overall at my 3rd race. I am usually in the top 5 out of 20-30 riders each week. This comes from hard work.
Just so ya know!

Like the comment that was made above, Sponsership isnt limited to bike shops only. I have a roofing and siding place pay all my race fees. My other sponser is the bike shop that I work at so that was sort of easy but just becuase its not a bike shop doesnt mean they wouldnt be interested!

Rhino99, I'm not trying to say that only pros or "A" class racers diserve sponsorship, but must companies are looking for a pay back. Pay back such as, racing in the nationals or in major races that a big crowd could see your supporter's logo. By the way, your one in thousands that are possibly trying to do the same.
