    So...iv been trying to do some research about Racing Portfolios...Havent been able to find anything to concrete on a template for it, and wondering if anyone has any experience or tips on building a portfolio to present to possible sponsors and or even to just keep on hand at any events I race at!?...

    I'm guessing you're talking about a resume for sponsors or the like?

    Not sure there is a proper way to do it but search the forums here - lots of good ideas over the years. It's hard to get anything without knowing the people involved. Main thing is you have to be able to show them what you can do for them before you ask them for something. Also don't sell yourself cheap.

    I'm not talking about results - those don't matter as much as people think. You have to be able to help them do something for their business if you expect them to give you money. If they sell widgets then you have to show how you can help sell more widgets. If they're a service then show how you can help get more customers and so on.

    OHHHHHH!!!...I understand now...basically I have to be able to bring something to "their table" before I get invited in to eat at their table!...its more of a business look and I have to be beneficial in some shape for or manner to their business

    Exactly. Unless you can find friends with companies that want to support you just because they like you and/or racing then it's always a business relationship.

    Most companies I have found when applying for sponsorship want to know how you can help them....this where thinking outside of the box can help out.
