Ehile being good will help you being at a lot of races and being a good reprisentitive of their product will help you more.
Being the guy that enters 2 races and wins them both will give you less of a chance then the guy who enters 20 races and finishes 10th at each one. the last guy gets the product more visablity to the public.

Well you do need decent results too, don't have to win every race, but they don't want the guy who always finishes last either. You would have to have a good balance of the 3 main ingredience 1/ Lots of races and exposure 2/Respectable finishs 3/ Great personality with the ability to speak for the company. If you can achive high levels of those 3 things you could go from grass roots to full sponsorship. Talk to someone like Wade Simmons or Ryan Leech,and you will see why these guys are set for life with their sponsores, both are highly skilled riders, great with the public, and are highly visable at the events they go to.

almost all companys do something like this, it's cheaper and easier for them for racers to approach them rather then for them to watch races and read race results and follow people and approach them

You don't enter it, you apply for it. It's not winning a contest, it's earning a contract Razz
