I cant believe people are still falling for this crap. Eric has been doing this since like 01. He is making sooooo much money its retarded.
I had a contact down there and actually made out on him because the person was leaving and didnt give a crap. I got crazy stuff out the door for like nothing. But only cuz the owner had no clue.
He used to be called Racer X motorsports, but changed the name a few times I guess as people caught on. They never used to return calls or follow up with parts.

Never hear of SCP but unfortunately I have heard of carsponsorships.com. Read about them in Superstreet so thought it was a good idea. Didn't check them out, just did it. You go through this bogus "application/approval" process. They take a credit card number for "only if you are approved". Everyone is approved and charged $89/year. The sponsors you get are bogus for the most part. Real crap stuff with usually about a 30% discount as a sponsored car. A few good things but nothing substantial. I complained and you get the non-refundable contract story but oh, we can help you get better sponsors once you prove yourself. Well, who wants to buy crap at 30% off to "prove" themselves? Definitely stay away from them!

Not to mention that putting together a sponsorship proposal and making contacts in order to get sponsored takes more than just going to Volk and saying "hey sponsor me". I can not stress enough that sponsorships does not me FREE PARTS!!!!! I still paid for pretty much everything on my car. Not to mention, your car has to built to a certain point before a sponsor would even look at you.
Then again, sponsorships are not for everyone. It takes alot of dedication, commitment and leg work when you are finally sponsored.

I have not had a bad experience w/ a sponsor, so I can't comment. The sponsors I do have, have been nothing but AWSOME to me. I can not thank them enough! I won't mention names cause I don't want them flooded w/ request for sponsors, they know who they are!

I couldn't have said it better myself....i also asked for small things until i proved how hard I would work representing their company...then after that usually request help for larger things
people think that just because you have a nice car companies give you free stuff....that is so far from the truth. You need to find magazines to cover your car, web sites to post information and answer questions, make yourself acessable to display your car with their projects at odd times etc...it is a lot of work...A LOT of work
