What compelling reasons do you have why a team (do teams even have programs for B riders?) that some one would take you on as part of their team
DC are you reading this? This is why GPA's should be required in Amateur racing.
Yeah, I am kinda naive when I read words "Amateur" as someone who participates in sport for fun and without pay or compensation. In other words on their own dime.
Get a RacerX or TWMX, Motocross Action, Dirt Bike, Cycle News.
Go through the ads and get any and all company addresses you can. Go on the computer and write out the best resume you possibly can. Have someone proof read it for you,(trust me on this one). Send your resume to those addresses and attention to "Amatuer support team manager"
You're probably going to just get a discount and maybe some free stickers at first. However, once you make that contact then update that contact on exactly how you are promoting their product and decimating the competition.
After a few months of this they will maybe take notice and offer more support.
That, or you could qualify for Loretta's find anyway you can to get back there, kick ass and then go around and personally introduce yourself to team managers and tell them you would like to kick ass for them. By kicking ass I mean like chuck norris style ass kicking. Checking out.......
Or last but not least you can hope that someone is reading this and may pick you up and pay your way to all the races.

Daniel we are busting your balls. Keep working at it. When you are good enough the support will come to you. Not the other way around.
I race B class and need free stuff. Cash works best for me, but I'll take whatever you're giving!
Thanks guys!

Results matter. If I was as fast as I said I was, Chad Reed and James Stewart would cry when they see me line up.
The best support you will ever get is to go get a JOB and pay for the stuff you need. Make all the connections you can so that you can fund your racing with discounted parts tires gear etc...
Learn how to and then make a riding/ racing resume' and send it to companies, hand it to companies it goes a lot farther than saying you are ready. When you put it all on paper you will probably see that you have a lot more to accomplish before anyone will consider some support.
Good Luck
