Tell us about your sponsorship program:
What we offer is a 20% to 30% parts and labor discount to get the riders coming our way. As we get to know them and see some results and good representation we do step up our program to some free cams and engine rebuilds and give away some labor to help a racer with his practice bikes and sometimes we may even give gas money and entrie fee money to those few riders.
Is there anything unique about your program? Why would someone want to be a part of it?
Crower performance is the best in 4 stroke engine mods and a great service connection for the racers that need expert engine advice and experience to get a bike sorted out and ready for the nationals or the smaller local stuff. Crower performance can help fine tune your engine and get you that extreme performance that these new A and B class bikes need to be at.
What do you look for in a sponsored athlete or team?
We keep an eye on consistancy and all around track behavior in the riders / teams we like to support. The bikes have to look good , the engines need to be ready and the all around program that you bring as a rider reflects on our company as we'll so keep it clean and neat and run strong and we will be there to support you in some way or capacity! good sportsmanship is also a bonus!
What is the most important information for someone to include in their application?
We need to know the basics on the bikes, is it a honda or yami ?, do they use pump gas or willing to buy race gas ? do you have practice bike or is it all done with one bike ? what kind of exhaust pipes are on the bike? has it ever been rebuilt ? and have they made any engine changes , jetting , piston , whats the clutch condition ( new , used ) etc...
What is the most important thing for people to understand about sponsorship?
You have to do what you say and run the stickers and be nice to people and carry a good attitude about racing and other racers. If you say your racing lake whitney and dodge and lorrettas we want to see you there with our stickers and graphics . Don't promise the world and not deliver. everytime we give a 50 $ discount on a cam or part we like to see stickers or something in appreciation of our discounts.
Every company has a different method for how often they review applications. Do You have a methodology or schedule?
we look at every application as they come in and by mid december we try to contact all the applicants to at least touch base and see what they need to build or rebuild or purchase.
Has the internet changed the way you manage your sponsorship program or your Sponsored athletes? If so, how?
we love the internet sponsorship idea and we can monitor our riders results and it lets us in an area that you just can't go find at the track or mx shops. The international communication with our riders and teams is way easyier on the internet. We can support them and communicate quickly.
