SL,
Is this what was promised when you let him back in?

I remember and we have lost many here. RIP. Steve Taylor? Dragracing 2000? or something like that. Many others. Fact is many here are getting older and we do not have as many new younger racers coming in as there should be.

There is only one here who insults everyone and calls names.

I'm not running to his defense but I'm not sure why those comments were deleted when Paul Rietow Revere spams every single thread with triple posts conspiracy theory BS and its acceptable. I'll take the humorous banter back n forth over that crap all day.

I had no clue who Aaron was, as OP never gave details. Not all of us were here since Genesis.

Do what I did! Turn in the B S to Scott!? Send the post to Scott and send him a message.
I agree on his preaching BS and comic cartoons!
As for not knowing Aaron, it was stated earlier; Aaron was an announcer that was on here for years.
Don’t just set back and let them get away with it. Both were banned from YB so what does that tell you!

BTW, it was in total disrespect to a member who had passed.

Yeah I miss Steve Taylor, a guy who always made sense about how bracket racing ought to be. Met him at Atlanta dragway at George Howard's million, when they had an invitational footbrake race put on by Dale Wilson I think from bracket racing magazine?
I also met Chip Horton, Tim Griffith, Doyle Kay and watched George dump a garbage bag full of money into the pits from a helicopter. Had the best steak ever that was made on a hibachi in Al Murawski's pit. Al came from California for the invitational.(R.I.P. AL)
Yup I have seen many pass on that haunted this site and I hope someone mentions me when I'm gone.

Hits are king. All else is of no importance. Just saying. Rest in peace Aaron Green. Take care. Tom Worthington

I have been, never heard of him and still don't know what he contributed to this forum other than

along with the over 3000 that have clicked on this thread. That isn't disrespect that is a fact.

Further the OP didn't give any details for fear he may expose himself because he is Mike English.

Last, this once again has become about the haters, same old, same old, hating on me and why because they don't like my opinions and disagree with my technical advice. These same few are this forums equivalent of Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff, Comey and their cohorts that have been trying to impeach Trump since the day he was inaugurated with their lies and false accusations, say and do anything in an effort to achieve their goal.

Can not even say something about an old member that has passed away with out it becoming a pissing contest and with local internet wannabe hero / zero.

says our local internet nobody/clueless loser. Meanwhile, the man has been dead for 8 years, no mention of his passing here last year and all of his posts have been deleted.

Trump spoke Truth to power too, you may as well include him too.

Not for any logical reason though, pertinent to the topic. Neither of us would ever kick the dead.

RIP Aaron.

Attaining Sponsorship: “Ask for the Order”

So you want to be a racer? Great. It takes money to do it. Odds are you will never make money racing. Some do make money, but very few. You can work real hard and spend your own money on racing. You might go broke. Then again, you can find someone else to pay for your racing if you work at it. Remember this line…………….”Ask for the Order”.


Aaron Green
If you are reading this web site, odds are you are either a racer or involved in racing of some sort. You are involved in one of the most adrenaline pumping, most exciting sports on the planet we live on. Life is short, 100 years from now nobody will care about any of this anyway, so don’t be shy! Live it up! Go for the gusto!!

Because I have been around racing for nearly my entire life, I have dealt with a lot of different parts of the racing industry from time to time. My father first took me to a race at Riverside, California, in 1964. It was a sports car race, I was 4 years old. Then in 1965, after I had turned 5, my father took me to a drag race at Long Beach, California. Ever since those days I have attended a variety of racing events in one capacity or another, on a regular basis. So I do have a few years experience on my side in the racing business.

This past year (2010), a few racers I know contacted me and asked me a question I have been asked many times over the years by many people. Here is the question…………”How do I get a sponsor?” That is where that old line comes in ……………”Ask for the Order”. You would be surprised how many people don’t.

Now I will write this article from a motorcycle point of view, seeing as this is a motorcycle web site, but you can apply this same stuff to car drag racing, oval track car racing, monster truck racing, even airboat racing, etc., if you want to. Yes, there is airboat racing in some locations believe it or not, I’ve announced them before. The same basic principles work on this sponsorship subject, no matter what.

The largest sponsorship I have ever sold was worth $50,000 (dollars) in the end (give or take a few bucks), the smallest I ever sold was for $600 (dollars). There was a lot of stuff I sold that fit in between those numbers. I’ve sold sponsorships to car dealers, theme parks, restaurants, motorcycle shops, and other things. Surprisingly, the bigger dollar deals are often easier to do than the low buck deals. A sponsor for any form of racing is hard to get, and even harder to keep.

So you are probably asking yourself this right now………..”How do I get a sponsor?”. Do this, think of it as a game. If you are on the “sponsor hunt”, you are like the quarterback of the football team. You call the shots. It is sort of like picking up women. You have to………”Ask for the Order”, or date in the case of picking up women. Odds are if you ask enough women out on a date of some sort, at least one of them will go out with you. Same thing with sponsors of any kind, if you don’t ……………”Ask for the Order” (there is that line again), nobody is going to be interested. So……………. “Ask for the Order”!! That and don’t give up!!

If you go on the “sponsor hunt” odds are you will get turned down about 7 times before you get a yes. Don’t let yourself get down and depressed though, keep going! If you just got another “no”, you are that much closer to a “yes”! Be excited about what you are doing. If you are actively seeking a sponsor, you are a salesman. Sell yourself. Dress decent, Don’t be afraid to wear a suit and tie if the situation calls for it. Groom yourself well, and check yourself out in the mirror. It may sound silly, but ask yourself if you would spend money with you. If the answer to the previous question is “no”, fix whatever needs fixing!

Now the amount of $$$ you ask for is up to you. It is negotiable. A sponsors name size on a race vechicle normally depends on how much a sponsor pays to put their name on something. What do you really have to offer? A company name on your bike? Maybe signage on your trailer? Forget about your “racing record”, nobody but you, and perhaps your family and friends, care about any of that. Sorry, it is just the truth. Any serious business person wants to know “why” they should sponsor you. That, and they want to know what is “in it” for them. They do not care if you were track champion someplace in Montana 18 times, they don’t care if you won a race last week. They want to know how you are going to help them make more money, period! So do yourself a favor. Figure out how you can help a company or business make more money. When you know the answer to that, and you remember that old line……….”Ask for the Order”, you are on your way to getting sponsored.

If you come up with a sponsor, stay in touch with them. The easiest way to lose a sponsor is the old “take the money and run” trick. If you are dumb enough to go that route, the checks will quit coming.

So don’t be bashful………….”Ask for the Order”

The article is dedicated to its late author Aaron Green.

Ed, Why didn’t y o u or have you ever started a thread to acknowledge the friends you spoke of for their contributions to racing?
Just apologize and move on.

I had plenty of late night conversations with AG. He was an old timer that knew more about the history of this sport then any book could ever have told in words. He was a major contributor to DRR in its origination. Those that got to race the DRR series listened to AG do the announcing. He was remarkable with being able to describe a race, keep you entertained with his knowledge and could make you feel like you were right in the middle of everything. When PRI was in Orlando I was sitting having a drink with him and he looked at me dead serious and said "A nitro harley with a sidecar. That's something I would pay to see if you rode in the side car". He laughed like a fool and walked away. Every time we talked after he always asked if I was ready to get rich riding in the side car. Sure miss his odd humor and great stories.
