Finding Sponsors

[Deafwolf]

I was looking into the website Hookit.com. I got so frustrated with not being able to race when I couldn't afford it. And then a friend suggested finding a sponsor. Seems like a great idea, but I am no podium class. I'm a cat 5 road criterium... hell, I'm a total noob still trying to get the legs to keep up. So what are your thoughts and maybe suggestions towards finding sponsorship. Any comment is welcome other than "Get a second job". Thanks.

Finding sponsors at this point might be a challenge. Your best option might be to join a team and avail yourself of their team discounts.

Why would a sponsor, unless it's a family member, want to get involved in a situation like this? What's in it for the sponsor?
