I always wondered; how much work do businesses get from advertising at the track?

When I worked at Autofab Race Cars, we got a bunch from the local racetracks.

Signage? Not much - it looks nice for photos I suppose. Lane sponsors are a little better for the announcements over the PA.

The best value is working with a GOOD promoter on events. Good promoters will direct customers your way actively.

Brandon, I can tell you that supporting an Ahole has lost you business. LOL

Thanks for the update, Curtis. We are proud to work with some of the best promoters and racers for decades such as The BTE WFC, Luke Bogacki's I57 Race, George Howard's Million Dollar Race, Gaylon Rollison and the Gulfport King of the Coast, Lost Creek, Beacon, Holly Springs, and countless others - we also sponsor great racers around the country. I also believe in backing competitive racers. I'm sorry you had personal problem with one of our sponsored racer's father. Good luck in your racing where ever you spend your dollars.

Brandon just to be clear I have BTE parts in my trans from a long time back that are still working great. I appreciate what your company does for the sport and what you have done personally with tech help.

A banner without a face will not net you as much as if you are at that event more times than not. The more YOU are at the event, and can be a help or be technical support, the more customers will support your business.

Absolutely, in business you try to stay away from politics or problems that runs off business. If your business takes a Political stance you have ran off half your potential customers before you ever start. Why do that? The objective of advertising is to bring in customers not run them off.

It took me decades to get over a debated warranty issue from bte. Honest truth. Then sponsorship of the one fella who pissed off half the internet renewed my choice to buy from others. Not taking shots at you. Just two things that kept me from buying your products

Probably the same amount they get from putting their business name on a racecar without any marketing plan, none.

I try to support those who support us.

I think some sponsors just do it to support the sport or hobby, and others obviously are looking for a financial return on it. And I'm grateful for both.

My friend supports the WFC. He does not foot brake race nor does he expect anything in return. He does it for the racers and his respect for the promoters who he has never met. No discounts, no gift certificates, just CASH. You would be surprised at how many winners have never made an effort to thank him.

Giving grief to a racing products business owner that comes on this site and gives out great info is a direct reflection and confirms the real dummmassses that post here

I will support who I want and if they support someone who has come on here and threatened half the people, called their wives, girlfriends or Daughters Prostitutes and said it was funny when several here lost their parents then I will not support them. Trying to say that nicely with out bashing them, Brandon is a good guy with a good product and has been a good supporter of myself and many others here with parts and advice. An example right now in America I think it is bad business to support Democrats or Republicans, if you do you have automatically upset half your possible customers. I think it is bad business to pick sides. Picking sides does have consequences.

The worst one ever about bashing businesses is no longer here. If you ran anything other than exactly what he told you to it was Cheap China Junk and you were a broke Dyck idiot for running it. Hoosier tires for instance you were not allowed to run anything but them or you were bashed. In fact he was running a different brand converter(Abruzzi?) and bashing BTE before they partnered up. He bashed you personally if you did not agree with him when he bashed businesses. Certainly you are not saying it is okay for one person to bash businesses and other people here but we should not?

I agree with you that we should not bash Businesses that support this forum and other people here, maybe that is why some are no longer with us?

This is a very good example of what a sponsor faces if or when the track or driver they advertise with does anything questionable. This wasn't as big of a deal before all of the technology. Now it's spread instantly and comments and actions are documented. Tough to be a business in this world.
