[Out_Sider]

i havent even sent out things asking for one yet...i might need to start..:p

Maier Plastics
Quad Customs
Mother's Waxes & Polishes
Motion Pro
Galfer

[dirtmomma]

WE have a few, got some $$ from one & maching work for free,embroidered coats free, my son has AC racing also. Next season though I 'm gonna be working on some more. We also have a bike shop we get a discount at.

[redroost85]

Yep! I just picked up a new one today. I used to work at a place that made roll-off dumpsters and my old boss is gonna help me out big time. He likes all the new exposure, lol! He is gonna let me use a company flatbed to haul my quad to the tracks and add some new parts for my ride.

I am so glad that I won't have to pack my 400 into the ole s-10 anymore, lol!:D

I hear Kaw did pick up a "new rider" to their stable that I believe is a member of this forum.

but im the rider seriously:muscle:

[Quad4x4]

Last year Utility Unlimited results should make it obvious.

[cyclepro26]

i got sponsorship from a real good engine builder.

[gimp419]

I sent my resume out to about 15 or 20 companies around the last of August. So far I've landed sponsorship deals with the following:

NAC's Racing
Spy Optics
Custom Axis
Denton Racing
Houser Racing
F&S Suzuki
And my local bike shop Cycle and Skate Connection that gives me dealer cost on everything like, Fox gear, tires, wheels, AC Racing products, Alba Racing products, and anything from White brothers that's just to name some.

Hope to hear back from some more potential sponsors real soon.

j/k...... i wouldnt ride a kawi no offense

[*$BlueFlash$*]

Congrats to the V-Force Kaw rider just picked up! I think he is a local District 11 racer and it is awsome that he got it!
William I hear is on the same as last year and Duvall is with Am-Pro and a few new ones out west. Havent heard much about Borich or Ballance and I think I heard Matt is on the YFZ team sufari(watch him, he came on strong on that production bike)should make for some awsome ATV racing this year.

[indygncc]

I think the new Kawi rider might go by the name Douge Henke!!!
He definitely deserved a ride this year.
Baker will be riding for them also.

[TRX500]

Congrats Doug!!!!!! Can't wait to see those new bikes.:D

Ballance: 2 bikes, parts, No Cash
Jeramiha Jones(MX) same deal!
The future for ATV is getting better!:D

[Dunlap]

Ballance 4 quads,parts and win money but they signed too soon.

[justdirt]

come on Mickey tell us whats up. were is honda

[Dave400ex]

Mickey please give us some more details. Sounds like Yamaha got 2 of the best riders in the world.

[Santo DeRisi]

Originally posted by Mickey Dunlap

Mickey,
Did he get a Factory Yamaha ride?

[Dunlap]

Dont get to pumped up about factory ride even Hawk and Raines have to pay for there bikes. Honda is the only one that gives you your atv and pays everything and they are not getting in to GNCC at this time. Then again Chad Wallace has one of the best deal with GAS GAS though me.

[465Stroker]

I am just glad Yamaha is supporting some well known racers. :)

I am still waiting to see what Racer Productions has coordinated with the BIG 4 to help bring contigencies to the table for our hard working ATV racers. Since we have not heard anything yet - It was most likely too late. :(

[Dave400ex]

It is great that Yamaha is offering them support. They both deserve it. Hopefully this will bring more money to our sport and make it bigger.

[roostin_dale]

I sent out about 15.

got one for sure from www.cannondaleriders.com

Maybe Lonestar and Nac's Racing...I got letters back from them so far. Not many but every bit counts like you guys said.

[Smokey]

Hey anyone that knows Hawk or Raines should call and ask about thier deal . I how they get thier bikes and why it is done the way it is . As for Ballance , I was told from a very good source that Yamaha offered 2 bikes+ parts , NO MONEY . Billy is wanting more and Yamaha has not gotten back to him . Why is all this like a bike soap opra ??? Always someone starting rumors that are only partly true . best way to find out is ask the person that has the deal .

[Johnny_G]

I am currently as i type this on the phone with Mr. Ballance, and he is slightly amused at all the speculation as to what he may or may not have signed........as he is not a member of these forums, he asked me to let all the inquisitve minds know that he has not yet signed ANY contract with ANY ATV manufacturer.

He also said that if you want to know the true plans for Bill's 04 program........stayed tuned to www.gnccracing.com when he does sign something it will be posted there first.

Just for a little sneak peek see the picture below!!!!!!!!!!!!

He sent me this picture and stated that this is what he will most likely be flying through the woods on in 2004.

Wow this thing looks trick!!!!!!!!!

[Pappy]

i cant belive bill bought monkeyboy's trike:eek:

[ILGNCC400EX]

is monkeyboy goin to be his new partner. i guess his brother is out now

[cdalejef]

Thanks Johnny C for setting the record straght!

[Varmit57]

This will be my 3th year with NAC's and their deal gets better every year... I also got Thor finally after asking them for 4 years. Not a great deal but should get better next year.

TAG, MAIER, Oury, Scott, LRD, Oneal, GS3, K&K, Carbon Fiber Works, Mothers and K&N have never turned me down. Of course I can't take them all becuse some are competators, but its nice to now that they support us...

[Smokey]

Thank You Johnny . I knew he had not signed anythign yet ,but is working on a couple differant deals ...Keep us posted

[Dave400ex]

Well at least we know the real info now. Thanks Johnny. Hopefully he does get a great ride because he deserves it.

[Dunlap]

Just got off the phone, Bill just made a two year deal with GAS GAS details will be out Mon.

Johnny, Great info and well put. Straight from the source is how it should be posted. Bill does deserve a great ride and anyone of us that ride blue would be glad he was on that team. Hope all will be at rest at the ATV banquet!
As for the person with the incorrect info...Less word from you the better! Wouldnt it be nice to see the PM about you!

[foxracingpredat]

[roostin_dale]

I just got a letter from Nac's Racing today....i was so supprised. They are going to be a pretty Big sponsor for me in 2004.

[TC17]

i got these guys V. Thomas Racing is hopefully going to buy me the 450R, if not, i'm getting a job. Nac's is my main one, dealer cost, sidewinder is dealer cost, weller is dealer cost plus 10%, ims dealer cost, renegade racing 20% off, gap racing 30% off. not bad for my 2nd year.

[ridefastrgetoff]

Have you ever considered writing the rest of your expenses off by making them tax deductible ? Actually you reduce your taxable income by having the deductions; if you don't understand all this tax stuff, have your parents have a look. It's a huge deduction for us every year ! Check out our site to see what all is deductible; it will amaze you and the dollars are sick !

I heard that before,but didnt think it was possiblem, if thats the case...I should have alot of write offs!!!:eek: :eek2: :D

[ridefastrgetoff]

There are tons of business owners that have race teams and they advertise their businesses and because of the advertising, decals or painted on logos of their business with phone numbers or websites, they are using their bikes, quads, trailors, trucks, etc., etc, as advertising - better known as rolling bill-boards. I'm sure we can all agree on this ! If you too had a business and you advertised it the same way, it would be a tax deduction; Pit Passes, Gate Fees, Mileage, Cell Phone, Meals, Hotels, Replacement Parts, Bike(s), Trailor, Pull Truck, Computer, Internet, etc., etc. would all be part of your business and thus tax deductible. By tax deductible we're simply talking about reducing your taxable income if you have a full-time job and that covers most race teams; very few folks have a full-time job that is part of their race team. By reducing your taxable income it's simple and here's an example: Let's say you make $50K / Yr. at your full-time job but your business had $10,000 in expenses, you adjusted gross income would now be $40K for the same Yr. - this means you over-paid your taxes because with your deductions you should be in a lower tax braket and thus you are owed a large refund. I realize that $10,000 for a race team for an entire year is probably very low ! Keep this in mind, whatever you deduct, you can expect approx. 1/3 of that back on your Refund and that's a huge Sponsorship if you wanna call it that. Whatever you call it, that's the name of the game, having fun at the cheapest possible way. If you wanna know more just ask - sorry, I'm tired of typing. haha Pretty exciting you must admit !

Our two main sponsors are Walsh Race Craft and our Yami dealer Century Cycle. From the bike shop we get cost on everything and free shop work. Walsh doesn't want me to say what we get but I'm not disappointed that he had our YFZ for 6 months. Through Walsh we got a screaming deal on the Pep's LT ARC shocks, AC stuff, Hyper wheels, Kenda and Razr tires and Sparks.
