We save considerable amounts of money. You can pick and choose who you accept, some deals good - some not so and some are really nice. # 23 you are correct in a way, it is not really a true sponsorship. Not getting paid to play here. We are merely trading services, we advertise and they cut us a break on gear and such. I am not allowed to disclose our current "sponsorship" details, but for example in the past we received 50% off retail from NoFear and free jersey printing to boot. This was in JTs first year of racing, the deals get better with results, amount of events attended, profile views and how you conduct yourself. More than likely you will get "sponsored" by who ever you apply for, simply because it is cheap advertisement. 50% off retail is nothing to the manufacturers, it sure does work for me. Hookit is an easy way to get started, 1 stop shopping. I send out about 15 resumes each October seeking sponsorship outside of the Hookit program. We have been picked up by just 3, some have refered us to Hookit and others don't even reply. I just ordered new gear for my son and I, pants and jerseys each and a spare jersey for the wife. Name and number on the back of each jersey, free shipping, all for around 150 bucks. Yeah, it is worth it to us. Suzuki 596 hurry up and sign up before # 23 does, you will get the good deals and leave him the scraps. Lol. Oh, check out our Hookit page we need the views. It is sponsor time again. I almost forgot, thank you to all our sponsors.
