Hey everyone, check out my latest story on an up and coming race team, Rumble Phish-Razor. I know I have never seen anything like this one and pictures do the boat no justice... It is definitely an eyecatcher.

Alright I have some questions for you experienced race guys.

I have had conversations with a couple of businesses that may be interested in sponsoring a race team. These conversations have been primarily with businesses in the heating and cooling industry. Thought it would be neat to have a boat for a specific industry. Also hoping other businesses in different trades like electrical etc. may follow.
Is any partial sponsorship from boating or engine manufactures available??

Also need to know about insurance requirements and costs.
What type of education is needed to be safe and successful??

Would it be helpful to find a team and volunteer time to learn??
Which class is the best to start with??

Any information would be appreciated.

Steven,

One Design is certainly the way to start out. They put every racer through a race school and the result so far is three years and no colisions in One Design.

There is no insurance on race boats, you have to be able to stand to loose everything, another reason One Design is incredible is they take that risk for you.

As for sponsorships, Chris Reindl would be the one to talk to there. He finds sponsors for the boats and is able to pass on the benefit to the racers - for example the $25,000 first place prize put up by his GLSCS One Design Spoonsors.

The business number to Reindl Powerboats is (513) 794-1999 and his on site cell is (513) 706-3199

Best of luck,

Terrah Lee

Word on the water is the GLSCS is almost sold out - and a few of the larger teams are doing the One Design Pro tour. Once all the teams are announced, I will do a follow up story on the class.

New Group just took advantage of the offer. Press Release to come next week on H2O Performance.com

Congratulations. Chris, are you able to confirm the full line up of teams for this season?

We only have one full boat and one seat in another boat left for the GLSCS. Thank you all for the great response. We will release a story on all the teams and their sponsors just before the season starts May 30th in Eastlake, (Cleveland) OH.

Mr. Offshore,
Thank you for the bonus sponsorship package and prize money. Hopefully someone will take advantage of it.

Chris Reindl

Mr. Offshore,

Just so I understand your program, you are doing cash up front as well as an encentive for winning races. Do you want to elaborate online or would you rather have teams email you?

Performance Is The Answer offshore racing team plans on racing the GLSCS. Our sponsorship campaign is in full swing with some great possibilities. This series has great spectator venues. There is no other class that can win that kind of $$$. Even if you race Super Cat your prize money wont cover your cost like this class will. I look forward to taken home all the cash.

Team P.I.T.A.,
