L o L!
I had them for a racing sponsor for one season! They got my back window and the sides of my trailer.
I got paid with cash and samples, more samples and more samples along with some cool shot glasses (real glass). Every single one of those shot glasses "walked off" at one time or another during that season. Now they sent me a bunch of the plastic shot glasses with the samples they sent. That came about when someone took some pictures of the late night escapades in the racing pits that
reportedly occurred in the vicinity of my pit. I had some friends over to my pits for a bit of eating, drinking and celebrate racing! I was giving away Yeager samples and someone took some pictures and post it up in social media. Well I'm very easily identifiable and this caught the attention of corporate. My contact called me up all excited. They must have really liked what they saw. They asked me if I'd be interested and handing out samples at races. They sweetened the sponsorship deal by quite a bit......... Enough to make it worthwhile. They sent "Mass Quantities". They say it cut-outs too!
The cut-outs were a pain! They would either disappear from people taking them or the wind blowing them away when I was not in the pit. They didn't care. They were happy! They sent more!
Sometimes, too much of a good thing can turn bad. Well, not really bad, just that Jägermeister wasn't really happy with me turning down the second year sponsorship offer. They were extremely happy with the exposure they got with some in print and magazines and then a lot of the online exposure on various racing forums and the sanctioning racing bodies forum.
It was actually a extremely sweet deal! They just wanted to jump off with both feet into a fairly heavy advertising campaign. They wanted wraps on tow vehicle, trailer and race car. They wanted a custom awning with their logo installed on my trailer. Also, they're going to install a freezer in my trailer to keep the Jägermeister cold.
It would have been a very lucrative deal. The problem that they were going to be my only sponsor. I did have several other sponsors. most were minors, but I did have two major sponsors. the two majors are what helped me run full series nationwide. I was always in close contact with both.
Nightly parties of handing out Jägermeister was gonna be required. Power/Money hungry law enforcement agencies(Stupid Ass Cali) were trying to interpret a tax code definition in a way that it would fall under a more restrictive rules and regulations. While I have legally talked my way out of their BS, a full wrap would just draw way too much unneeded attention.
I really hated turning the offer down! The straw that broke the camel's back was when my friend reminded me that I might face legal repercussions with the handing out of the booze. Not really all that unlikely in today's litigious society. I was just a one man operation. With the additional work and the other negatives, I regrettably had to decline. I just didn't wanna make it that much like work! Sponsorships could be fickle as hell, but if I had pursued this with my normal 'get it done' attitude, it could have been a very good relationship for quite a few years.
A L0TTA stuff goes on after they turned the lights out at the track!
I haven't done Jägermeister shots anymore since...........the kids made me a drink with Jägermeister Red N Bull at Vegas race 1 year. I'm so glad I only had time trials the next day!
Hey! Doesn't someone grow
cannabis on this website?
