Ever wanted to be part of a race team?

Racing.  It's something that I've always been involved in since I was young.  Whether by foot or wheel, I've always had a passion for competing and I still continue on in this tradition today.

But sixteen years ago that changed for me when my first born arrived.  Then it wasn't so much about what daddy wanted as much as it was about the child.  And I subscribed to this new paradigm lock, stock, and barrel.  I sold all of my auto racing equipment, quit the sport totally, and focused all of my time and money on the little ones.  And (stop me if you heard this one) I still continue on in this tradition today.

My son has been racing karts competitively for seven years now.  He drives, I wrench.  Oh and I pay for everything, I'm the driving coach, chauffeur, engineer, and all around morale booster.  And where once I found it painful to think that my remaining years in the sport were going to be spent behind a wrench and not a steering wheel, I've really grown to appreciate all of the work that goes on behind the scenes to manage a winning team.  And one of my tasks that I'm proud to say I've enjoyed some success in is securing business partners.

Racing takes money.  And like the old saying goes: speed costs, how fast do you wanna' go?  Flat out would be the common answer in our pit.  And if it wasn't for the people who see potential in marketing their goods in our form of motorsport we'd be moving at much slower speeds.  We truly appreciate all that these individuals bring to the tabel for us but we're constantly searching to bring new people on board.  Whether you're a business owner looking to expand your market, or a race fan looking to get up and close to the sport, we may have something that can help you.

Shamless plug moment

New for 2011, Inch-Hi Motorsports has put together a basic sponsorship plan which covers several investment levels in the team.  For business owners, they can showcase their products on a stage set in a fast paced world that only motor racing can offer.  And with demographics touching virtually every corner of the market from child to adult, male and female, and just about every income bracket in between, there's every reason to believe that your ROI will be swift and your bottom line fat.

And for those of you who share a passion for the sport but lack the time or funding, we have entry level plans that can get you one step closer to the action.  From simply receiving honorable mention for your contribution to joining us on pit road, we have a level that can get you as close to the team as you want.
