Objective: My objective is to obtain much needed sponsorship from companies or businesses that are interested in gaining product recognition and advertising in the high intensity sport of motorcycle racing. Your company or business will receive advertising space and product recognition on my motorcycle, helmet and equipment, as well as in track announcements. Also, I will promote your company and products to my customers at the motorcycle shop that I work for, and to my fellow members of the Palmyra Racing Association at the Hogback Hill Motocross Track. You will receive the benefits listed previously while helping me in my pursuit of being a top ranked expert, in District 4, in the open expert, and the college boy classes.
Experience: I have 7 years of riding experience, which includes 5 years of race experience. During my 7 years of riding I have experienced many different types of motorcycle riding, such as motocross, supercross, hare scrambles, enduros and ice riding. During my racing career I spent 4 races as a beginner, riding both 250's and 125's. I then moved myself up to the novice class where I spent 3 races, in which I won two of them by fairly large margins. After the third race as a novice, I once again moved myself up. This time I moved myself to the amateur ranks, where I spent the entire 1999 race season and the spring series of the 2000 series. During the 2000 spring series I obtained enough points as an amateur to be moved to the expert class. As a result at the conclusion of the series I became an expert. For the last three years, I have raced the Broome Tioga Amateur Days and the New York State Championships. This year I also raced in the Pennsylvania State Championships. I have also attended the Bruce Stratton riding school. I am very dedicated to the sport of motocross, and I set aside at least two nights a week for practicing at my local practice track.

Conclusion: Your sponsorship is very important to the future of my racing career. The financial burden of motorcycle racing is enormous, and any contribution that you could spare would be greatly appreciated by both my father, who is my biggest sponsor, and myself. I would be more than happy to display your company's or business's name or logo on my bike and helmet in return for your sponsorship. Along with displaying your logo, you will be listed as one of my sponsors to be read while I'm being announced before and during my races. I will also do my very best to promote your products or business in anyway that I can. Again, any contribution that you could give toward helping lessen the financial burden of motorcycle racing off my father and myself would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jacob Dennis
