Hello:
My name is Earl and I am a good driver. One of the local pros that didn't help me get a sponsorship with the team he's on thinks I should get a sponsor. So here I am, everyone throw cars and parts my way.
you can reach me at [email protected]

ENOUGH
OK ENOUGH. Maybe Brandon did not have the best approach, but he is a great driver. Give him a break, I think he now knows the error of his ways. How perfect were you guys at 12?

I see a few comments saying that being sponsored gets expensive... could someone explain that?
Some real rudeness on this thread towards a 12 year old kid. How many of you at twelve years old racing would swallow that some guy at the track earnestly tells you he is a pro? Who could blame the kid for seeing the glamour of sponsorship?
For some information, i know a couple of chassis makers are looking for fast kids.
Advice for a kid with sponsorship... have a chat with the local hobby shops, that's where most people start. A discount on parts can ease the burden on the parents and the hobby shops that use sponsorships are in touch with distributers - the next step up the ladder.
I met a kid the other night, think he is 13 and running in the top end of sportsman. Doing some laps with him he was bang on pace, in fact i couldn't pass him. He is stepping up to expert after the series he is in. With some guidence and some sponsorship to help his parents with cost he has a good chance of going top end... not just his speed but the way he listens, learns and wrenches on his own stuff and is a pleasant well mannered kid to boot.
And when it comes to kids... the UK driver Elliot boots won the Kyosho Masters in europe at 14 with a ride from them and RB, he kicked arse with AE since it came out and just signed to Xray... he taught me a whole load of stuff and schooled me all over my local track in practice then everyone else in racing.
You can't write kids off... bloody playstation generation...
