If you all only knew the real truth and not what they want to tell you all, you would be shocked.

If it was Skuza, wouldn't the sponsorship have already been sniped by some other team owner for one dollar less before he got a chance to spend the first dime? |

Sponsor conflicts?

I am not the only one this should concern... Conspiracy? We never landed on the moon, (FACT)!! There were two Shooters, (FACT)!! Little green men, (?) The fact remains that something went horribly wrong here before it should have... And many are wondering why... THAT is the great thing about chat boards...

Ray, there are 'exclusives' built in to sponsorships at various levels in all types of business. I offer category exclusives to advertisers at my Radio station, and will always continue to do so. There are two reasons I do so:- It offers me leverage in asking for a larger investment from the sponsor.
- It offers the sponsor an arena to market their product or service in an exclusive way.
We are very careful at protecting these exclusive sponsorships at my station. This is one of the more common ways to generate additional value...both to the seller of the advertising (racer), and to the consumer.
My suggestion to you is that you put a strategic list of potential sponsors together and investigate any potential conflicts long before you attempt to recruit their sponsorship. Otherwise you risk wasting a significant amount of time with sponsors you can't use, and the waste of money in that attempt.

Most people know better than to believe what press releases say anyways.

Well, it's been 2 days waiting to be shocked. Me thinks Donnie just did a "drive-by" on everyone. Or maybe as that famous movie (?) line goes, "You can't handle the truth" !!! |
