View Full Version : Bring a Racer, Bring a Spectator

I know we're always chatting about bringing new blood to the sport, and most of us take opportunities when we can to get pwc riders interested in becoming pwc racers, which is great...

Just don't forget that we could use a bunch more spectators too (not that anyone has forgotten this), but riders who just won't try racing, for whatever reason, should be encouraged to at least come and watch some races. Every little bit of interest and/or participation helps. Remember, everyone is potential spectator. If they like watching sports/racing of any kind either live or on TV, then they should be encouraged to come watch us. And don't forget to tell them it's FREE to show up, park, and get close to the action!!

I'll be working the Golf Show this weekend at State Fair Park (promoting the Indoor Golf Simulators in my store). I'll be handing out golf flyers/coupons to as many of the 9,000 show attendees we're expecting as I can - oh, and I'll also be handing out 8x11 GLW flyers to everyone who gets an indoor golf flyer from me. There's gotta be some golfers in SE WI that would come watch us in Kenosha, PP, and Sheboygan.

re: spencer
That's true as far as most pwc-related sponsorships go.

I'm looking outside the box for sponsorship money. (Especially since there ain't much money inside the box.). Don't get me wrong, I appreciate my Riva Racing sponsorship (just saved $68 on a $200 order last week), but there's still plenty of other expenses where straight-up cash would sure come in handy.

I'd like to get my chiropractor to throw some cash my way ;).

Heck, for a fair price I'll put just about anybody's name on the sides of my skis. I don't care if they're pwc related or not...

Craig, Joe, and John should be renting the sides of their enclosed trailers to somebody willing to pay to have their "billboards" dragged all over Wisconsin (and to Tennessee).

Let someone else who (can benefit from the exposure) help pay for the gas it takes to tow those suckers.
