What these guys have in common is the love for racing.
I didn't go to any of these guys,but I do talk to everybody at the track and on the street.
When talking to them I don't talk to them as if I know everything.
Once you get people that want to invest in your car treat them as gold.
Always have time for them.
All my sponsors have become friends,you know the kind that call you at 3 in the morning for help.
I've offered all of them to take my car down the strip,even offered Mike the race car to get his licence.
I only made it to the strip once this year.
I was talking to them this last month and all they wanted to know was what they needed to do to get ready for next year.
Bring them in as part of the family.
I don't know if this is any help.
I kinda fell into the sponsors.
But I had to do the work to keep them.
