Sponsor ship for the nationals

[YSS]

I just have an idea to support our riders at the nationals . Please let me know what you think of our planned concept.

We would like to reward every YSS shock equiped rider for getting a overall place on the podium .
Lets say we give  credit vouchers $500 for first , $200 for second and $ 100 for third . Should there be no podium getters, ( I hope there will be of course ) we would reward the highest  YSS place getter with a $50 voucher and a box of Link goodies . ( Motul )

Is that a good Idea or not?

Walter, i'm unlikely to place on the podium at the Nats and i don't have any of your products but i reckon your support and this idea are fantastic!

[VMX247]

Very generous Walter,but we think you should just go there to ride and enjoy.
Cheers S&A WA

I hope to ride as a private person but the proposed sponsorship  would be on behalf of the company.
Who knows , I might be getting a voucher too

Yeah good on you Walter, I really hope the racers appreciate your generocity by supporting YSS in return. Klub Kevlar are considering sponsoring the Pre 65 class, purely because we believe the class needs all the promotion it can get. Not being a business we'll get zero out of it except the warm fuzzies from seeing the ''true vintage" class being successful.

Hey, shit, maybe I should go to the nats, after all.....

[YSS]

We gladly pay ,when that is the case 

[Lozza]

Great stuff Walter, wonder if any other manufacturers stump up some contingency money?

[YSS]

I hope so    Thats the idea

[LWC82PE]

what about approching one of the other AUS vintage suppliers who advertise in VMX? maybe others will get on board too

[YSS]

Leith with your contacts should be able to bring other brands  on board easy.  ( you are an advertiser too ?)

[LWC82PE]

no advertising from me, got too much work as it is. i was more thinking of vintage plastics/mainly maico etc who ever adverises in VMX mag already

[YSS]

See Leith , you can not see the big picture . You can not bleed small businesses . The companies you mentioned are enthusiasts limited to VMX only and dont get the return for the outlay. But you as an agent for all those big companies should be able to raise money easy.

Hey Walter, I like your style.

...We would like to reward every YSS shock equiped rider for getting a overall place on the podium...
Is that a good Idea or not?

Great idea Walter! And very generous of you.

It reminds me of the yellow/black 'Camel' bibs worn by the European GP riders back in the day.
What was the deal?
I think the Rider would win $500 or so if they qualified in the first ten places (only if they wore the bib).
Something like that anyways...

It's all about marketing.
