Hi all,
I'm starting this topic to try and further improve the image/quality of superkart racing in Australia. If superkarts are ever going to be included in major events like the Grand Prix or Clipsal then we, as a category, need to be able to present ourselves in a professional manner capable of matching other bigger categories.
TV coverage is an important tool in exposure and I think we should be trying to find a sponsor for next year's series right now. Recently Pelly has done a great job in securing sponsors for TV coverage and this year's nationals, but we can't leave it up to one person.
If anyone knows of any companies who might want to be involved in TV coverage/sponsorship please make yourself heard. Otherwise maybe we can brainstorm a list of potential companies to send proposals to.
If there is TV coverage then it will be easier to attract sponsors, more of which will help with the [b]presentation[/b] side of things like kart signage, onboard cameras, grid girls, team outfits and websites etc...
If it proves too difficult to find a TV sponsor, then maybe everyone could cough up some more money on the entry fee to cover the TV cost...?
I'm really not sure what the SWG is doing at the moment in terms of promotion of the sport (does anyone know?), however, i'm not going to sit on my backside waiting for something to happen...

Promotion of Superkarting
Without a business proposal with some proposed commitments and returns, who will you approach and what are you going to say?
What's the agreement?

LOCO,
That's great if the SWG have a Sponsorship Proposal ready for potential sponsors. I'm yet to see it and it would help if it was given to the members to spread the word.
Obviosly the 2008 SWG proposal can't be put together until they know exactly what race events we will be attending, to then commit our returns to the potential sponsor(s).
I got 3/4 of the way through my proposal in Dec 2006 for the 2007 season after some very positive discussions with marketing contact in a global corporate. Then the USSC series fell over :cry: and the Australian Series failed to commit TV coverage, I decided to wait for a future opportunity.
Here is a link to it if anyone wants some to grab ideas.
