Title: Myrtle Beach, SC business owners? (OUCH Racing)
Post by Racer1_NC on Aug 8th, 2004, 3:39pm
As many of you know, the race team I am a part of has been without sponsorship this season. Despite my best efforts, I've been unable to obtain a sponsor, even on race to race basis. The postive of this situation is that the OUCH decals have remained on our car giving OUCH some much needed exposure.

On Labor Day weekend, we travel to Myrtle Beach, SC for a 150 lap race.

My question is......does anyone know of a business person in or near the Myrtle Beach area that would be receptive to a race car sponsorship proposal for this race? The few feelers I have sent out have come back negative. Ideally, I'd like to keep the OUCH logo on the car and use other spaces on the car for this sponsorship. I know this is a long shot, but with the clusterhead network we have, I figured it might be worth a shot.

Anyone with any ideas or info, please IM me here, or email me at Racer1_NC@yahoo.com

$800.00 and the cost of decals......usually less than 100.00 depending on the design needed for the business logo. The lady I have do the decals can provide a quick price if I have a logo to email her.

I have a little bit of US $ left over from a trip I made a few months ago.  If you send me an address - I'll mail it to you.  It's not much ($16.00) but you're very welcome to have it if it helps at all!

Don....so far the OUCH logo on the car has been my donation to the cause. I'd much rather OUCH keep the funds they have and use them for "the cause".

Getting the word out is the cause.

Jayne,

You can Paypal anybody with an email address. To retrive the money they have to open a Paypal account.

Good marketing strategy or what?

I hate to throw a wrench in to the works here but seeing that my washer machine decided to shit the bed yesterday I'll only be able to send $100

$600 for the damn washer plus what I will drop having a regulator built is even alittle much on my pocket in less than a week.

Sorry folks
