Looking for sponsorship for Sam Croft

[Matchless-G80]

After winning the 2010 VMCC Actrix Winter series then the 2010 PMCC Summer series and setting the Manfield long track record in his class, 17 year old Sam Croft is looking for sponsorship to contest the 2012 MNZ Pro-lite Nationals.

Currently he has won all 7 Pro Lite races in this years VMCC Actrix Winter series, with an average winning margin of over 20 seconds on all the races. During the last race of VMCC Round 2 at Manfeild Long Track (wet) he had a 39 second lead over the next bike in any of the Mini lite, Streetstock or Pro lite classes that race together. In another race he had 20 seconds added for a jump start but still won that race by 27 seconds indicating how good he really is and what potential could be realised with the right support.

Sam is on track to win the VMCC Actrix Winter series and PMCC summer series but to move forward on the national stage and hopefully further afield a partnership is needed with someone or group looking to sponsor this excellent rider. We would love to hear from anyone considering such an arrangement, or if you can recommend someone to contact.

We realise that right now businesses do not have resources like a few years ago but believe we can raise your business profile by being associated with Sam if that is your objective. Sam will take direction, is a good ambassador, does well at school looking to study engineering at university and is drug free.

He is currently supported by local businesses including Motorad, Horsepower Motorcycles, 1tonne.co.nz, Kapiti Bearings and Locksmithing, Neptune Mufflers, RPS Signs and Plasic Welding Repaires. This support is in the form of discounted prices or services.

The Croft family has and will continue to support Sam financially and in other ways but we have limited resources. To get Sam to the next level, please give us a call and discuss any of the above, or ideas you may have.

Kind regards David Croft.

I am not in a position to help, nor have I found anyone able to help (or theyd be sponsoring ME!!).....but, wondering if oyu have thought about setting up a website for Sam?
some younger racers are using them, and Blogs, keeping everyone updated...just adds that extra 5% and personal touch. Photos are great too.

Good luck, Crofts.!

What are you looking for?

We are looking for financial backing for Sam to compete in the Nationals. We are able to put him through the winter series and summer series, but will require a sponsor for Sam to make it to the National stage.

How much do you need?

I have a few great motorcycle films, projector, sound etc and pretty sure we could get a venue sorted?

Might raise a few hundy if we did it right?

Are you talking old school? What do you have

[Paul in NZ]

Yeah pretty much from the 50's through to the 70's. Movies like 'Motorcycle Gang' through to Easyrider with a lot of other stuff....

I could talk to the lads and perhaps provide a small indoor venue through winter, or (if your projector can expand to a large outdoor screen) A venue with far greater potential as the weather gets better !

It seems there is a lot of support around for people in your class and position.

If you have a good think about what exactly you need like tyres, entry fees etc etc write up a budget that people can help with.

I very much doubt someone will just say ok here is 10k but if you say we need 5 sets of tyres, then someone may be able to buy a set of tyres etc.

Teams like Nick Cole and Red Devil racing can do deals to add you into the team for a small fee, that way the bike gets to all the rounds and you have support etc then you just have to raise that money put it in your budget, also Billy??

Good Luck

We sell projectors and commecial screens mate - what evers in the demo rooms on the day ;-) Outdoors a better sound system would be needed.

Motorcycle gang is a friggin HOOT as lots of 1950 brit bikes having the bejesus thrashed out of them off road 'back in the day'... Its a corny as love story so wags like it too...

I've just purchased a copy of On Any Sunday and a short docco on flat track but its not arrived yet.

Happy to arrange something up your way and in the city if it helps Sam out David? (The Crofts live a few houses up the road from us) but I think they need a bit more dosh?

This might work for you. Lee Munro has had some responses to his sponsorship appeal on Trademe.
Best of luck. The young fella was on fire on the weekend.
