Only after filling out the 8 pages of personal info did I realize that it's $50/year to apply for sponsors.

For the average racer (B class racer going for it at local races, areas and regionals, etc), have other people seen a rate of return on that investment? Not trying to sound like a tight a--, but if guys aren't seeing results in the form of sponsorship worth equal to or more than that $50 per year, I would think that money is better put in the gas tank for the next race.

Thanks guys!

You can pretty much just send out your own “resume” to any company in the industry and expect to get 30-60% off retail price as a support rider. If you want to get a deeper discount you should detail your results for the year and the races you attended / planned to attend.

My .02 . . . Mxsponsor.com is going to generically spam you to companies who automatically reply with a 20% discount. I highly doubt any of those companies will offer deep discounts (+40%) or product to anyone using “mxsponsor.com”

That being said, you only have a short window to get sponsorship from these companies for the upcoming year. You have to apply in the first through third week of August i believe

Hook it is the same way. You get a lot of 20% offers that get canceled out by the high shipping. Try going directly to the companies website and look for rider support.

Used MXsponsor in the past, it was worth it to me back then. I had gotten 50% off Scott, that alone saved me $50 per set of goggles. There’s cheaper options and different routes like mentioned above, but I was never into racing enough to make an actual résumé and didn’t want to email companies hoping for a reply, so MXsponsor was the route for me.

Wait until a holiday to sign up for mxsponsor. They always email me about 50% off the signup fee. I would guess the next one will be Labor Day or not until thanksgiving. Like mentioned above, you’ll get offers of 30-60% off. I will say, if you are super picky of only wanting to wear a certain brand, don’t sign up. From what I have seen back when I stopped using it, it’s mostly O’Neal, gaerne and I think spy for your main gear needs. You probably won’t be landing discounts from fox, tld, seven or so on.

With a lot of these ‘discounts’ the shipping is super high which can kill any potential savings too.

Ya, that model is about dead. At least here in DFW. There were two shops I asked about a "racers discount" for running their stickers on the bike/truck. Was promptly met with "nah, we don't do any type of discounts"

Luckily the shop I ride for (Adventure Moto) is still very focused on the racing community.

DFW Honda wouldn't even throw in a pair of tie downs when I bought a bike from them. 0% chance I would represent their dealership in any capacity nor will I spend another dime there.

It's sad/refreshing/frustrating/*insert similar words* that attempting to gain sponsors through this method isn't working. I'm probably 200 instagram DM's into trying to find local shops, restaurants, businesses to just get some gas money in exchange for doing anything I can to get them a return on their investment, and literally 0 results. Hand written letters, taking my resume in to try and show how I can get them more exposure and customers through racing, absolutely nothing.

I'm sure it's a lot more complicated from their perspective, but if I tell local car dealer "If you sponsor me and I bring you even 1 or 2 car buyers you'll have your investment back", I never get anywhere.

Just have to keep pushing. The only guaranteed way to not have any support is to stop trying, so on we go.
