Internet Market Facts
53% of Net users are between the ages of 16 and 34. 25% of Net users have an income above $80,000
(compared with 10% of the general population) And you know most of these people on the Net are male.
Hummmm…if I am marketing cars, racing parts, clothing, accessories, safety equipment, etc., I am
probably looking for people between 16 and 34 years old, male, and cash to burn. So there is a huge
opportunity for selling racing parts on the Net.
Go-Fast Car Parts
There are many companies in the Motorsports industry that are interested in advertising their car parts that
allow enthusiasts like myself go faster on the street/racetrack. These companies probably spend big bucks
for boring ads in magazines. If your company makes go-fast car parts(or you know someone who sells
go-fast car parts) tell them about this site. You see, I want to Go-Fast. Go-Faster. Go-Fastest. But I
need go-fast car parts to do this, and my wife is starting to object about me spending hundreds of dollars
for a car part that MIGHT make me go two-tenths of a second faster around the track. (Especially since
we still rent, instead of owning our place of residence).
Your Opportunity as a Manufacturer of Go-Fast Car Parts
If you make go-fast car parts for a 1992 NSX, please email me, and let's do a deal! Maybe you send me
car part, I go-faster with it, I publish results from the time trials (taken with electronic infrared timers at
road racing courses such as Willow Springs, Laguna Seca, and Buttonwillow) on this Web page along
with picture & info of your car part/company/literature. I am also interested in stop-fast car parts, so if
your company makes high performance brake parts that really stop fast, let's talk! I am also interested in
safety equipment/racing attire.
I am not interested in look-pretty car parts, so if your company sells waxes, cleaners, floormats, or air fresheners, don't waste any Internet network bandwidth trying to send me email, as I am not interested.
Cash is also a good thing. In return, I could put your company decals/logos on my car. Publish these pictures on the Net. Put your company name/logo on my car!
If you haven't checked out my customer testimonial page for Rod Millen Motorsport, check it out now! This could be YOUR company on this site!
Some sponsors that I am particularly interested in are:
Honda/Acura: You are selling NSXes below list price! Which means you need to do some
M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G for this great sports car. The NSX owners are getting tired of seeing all these
commercials and magazine adds for these German sports cars everywhere. Use me as a testimonial to how
well Honda builds their cars. I have 80,000 miles on my NSX, and it gets thrashed at the track, I drive it
every day(unlike those Ferrari owners who drive their car once or twice a month), and it still never burns
or leaks a drop of oil. Let's do a TV commercial together. We can splice in footage of my NSX zipping by
Corvettes, Ferraris, Panteras, and Porsches(well, sometimes the Porsches, the Porsche owners are totally
aggro on the track) and then you can cut away to seeing these other cars trailered home from the track,
and then you can show me driving my NSX home. Kinda like what people did in the mid 1960's with the
Cobra. You drove the Cobra to the track, you kick butt on the track, and then you drove home in the
Cobra, and everyone else trailered their fragile race cars back home.
Or perhaps you would like to see me driving a 1996 NSX-T and advertising that on my home page and video tape, instead of my 4 ½ year old NSX. This could help boost up those NSX-T sales! Let's make a deal!
Comptech: You guys make a lot of go-fast car parts and stop-fast car parts. But I would need to hit the
lotto to buy all of your go-fast car parts. Hey, let's make a deal. You don't want any
Porsches/Ferraris/Corvettes passing me, 'cause you don't make go-fast car parts for those cars. Instead,
send me NSX car parts, I'll beat the competition, I can write up the victory on this page so all the NSX
owners on the 'Net can see it, and in return you will get lots of enthusiasts buying go-fast & stop-fast parts
from you.
BFGoodrich: I am going broke buying BFG R1 rear tires that last one weekend on the track + 30 days
of street driving. Let's work out a deal! Send me some R1's, and put your advertising here! I am sure you
don't want me switching to those new Yokohama road racing/street tires that just came out! (Yokohama,
are you listening? I would love to try out a set of those new A032R road racing tires and see if they are
faster). BFGoodrich, you should make the BFG R1 for 18 inch rims. I want to use 17/18 inch rims on my
car, but you don't make them BFG R1 in 18 inch sizes. I don't want to buy any 18 inch rims to look pretty,
I only want to buy them to go-fast. (But, if company out there wants to donate some 17/18 inch rims, I
will be glad to use them on the street! And post big pretty pictures of your rims/company logo/info on this
site.)
Acura Dealers in Orange County: The NSX rarely breaks. However, when it does, NSX stock car
parts ain't cheap. Put your excellent dealer/service department advertising on this page, and get more
business! Sell more cars! Become the biggest NSX dealer in Southern California. All it costs you is some
car parts and labor.
Driving Schools: Hey, technique is everything. I am sure I can learn a lot more about driving a car with lots of go-fast/stop-fast car parts. Let's trade a class for Web site advertising!
Clothing, accessories, and safety equipment manufacturers: Send me your product, and I will wear it and give you great advertising and coverage from each track event I do. There are really cool companies out there, such as the company that makes cool shirts like this:
