Why Sponsor a Race Team?
Simply Stated...Because Race Cars Draw Attention! The primary function of spending advertising dollars is to alert a share of the market that your products are available. In reaching the potential customer/consumer, your objective, of course, is to impact as many of them as possible in a way that is effective, colorful and has a proven track record of yielding results and a strong return-on-investment. That, in a nutshell, describes the impact of motorsports marketing. With the advent of televised races and the ever increasing amounts of print coverage, the majority of the nation’s largest advertisers are utilizing auto racing in one form or another to advertise their products or services. The McDougall Racing team competes in events throughout the West Coast at tracks such as B.C., Washington and Oregon. Since 2008, the McDougall Racing team competed at Regional Races in Langley Seattle, Portland and the Western Grand National event.
The type of racing we hope to introduce you to is one of this country’s oldest and fastest growing, Quarter Midget Racing. Quarter Midgets of America was started in the 1930’s in California and has grown to over 5,000 families with over 50 clubs divided into 13 regions across the United Sates and Canada. The Cars… A Quarter Midget racecar is a real racecar that has been scaled down to 1/4 the size of an open wheel midget or sprint car. The engines are single cylinder Honda, Deco, or Briggs & Stratton and can produce as much as 14,000 RPM’s and 14+ horse-power in the modified classes. This translates to speeds in excess of 90 KMH and lap times in the high 5 second range in the top classes. They may be small, but they put on one of the most-exciting, fastest-paced shows you will ever see.
The Drivers of these full throttle racing machines are kids ages 5-16, but don’t let their ages fool you. These kids are true racers. In fact, many of today’s STARS got their start behind the wheel of a Quarter Midget. Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Bobby Labonte and Dave Blaney all began their careers in Quarter Midgets.

What McDougall Racing can do for you?
The McDougall Racing Quarter Midget team is currently planning for our 2010 campaign, and we realize that it all would not be possible without the help and support of our family, friends and sponsors. As the McDougall Racing team continues to grow, we become more able to provide advertising, marketing, promotional, and public relations to our prospective sponsors. As a marketing partner with us many options are available to customize a marketing campaign to suit your organization’s needs. No matter what your budget, we can help you build a motorsports marketing plan with McDougall Racing that will help your business grow. Here are a few of our ideas, of course, we would love to hear your ideas as well.
• Add your company to the “Friends of McDougall Racing” directory that will be distributed at the track, promotional events and charitable fundraising activities. This can include a listing of special offers/services, coupons, etc. We will be attending various functions away from the track this year with our car and trailer. These include car shows, races at BC Place Stadium at the Monster Jam show and parades.
• Make personal appearances at your events (Grand Openings, Customer Appreciation Days, New Product Launches, etc.) with our racecars, drivers and trailer. The little cars draw plenty of attention. Pictures of your customers/guests can be taken with the car and driver.
• Display your company’s information (name, colors, logos, etc) on the McDougall Racing Team trailer and transport vehicle. The race trailer is 20 feet long and would make a great rooling billboard. The transport vehicle is a 2007 GMC Sierra Crew Cab.
