#motivationmonday for #RMFastFeb The driver of the Formula Ford is Gavin Halls, a British Formula Ford Racer. I saw a video of him, when he was sponsored by RacerTimes, talking about his journey in motorsport. I remember where I was, a year or so later, after I did a video on karting that RacerTimes reached out to me to talk more about the sport. About a year later, I had worked a relationship with them where I had a full season fully sponsored. I always keep this picture nearby to remind myself that I have the ability to provide value. Even when sometimes the path for an upcoming season might be difficult, I remind myself that I've done it before. #keepkartingfun #karting #racing #motorsports #kartracing #w2w

Day 15 of #RMFastFeb is "Where I'm Racing". I'm figuring out my club and practice schedule, but I have one goal. I'll be running the NWKA ICP Cup in 2020. They have the biggest races in the region, and I'm going to improve on my 6th place finish from last season. 2020 Sprint April 17-19 Richland, WA Tri City Kart Club May 22-24 McMinnville, PKA Kart Club June 12-14 Tacoma, WA PSGKA July 17-19 Chilliwack, Canada West Coast Kart Club Aug 7-9 Sumas, WA SIMA Kartng Facility #keepkartingfun --- 2020 Sponsors/Supporters @APDriverDevelopment @425Motorsports @HugglerRacingEngines @StudioRhoad @NotFamousRaceDriver @ProvaMotorsports @Kartpulse OUILLC/Team Hope @RacersHQ #keepkartingfun #karting #racing #kart #race #motorsports #speedsecrets #ProjectD #RMFastFeb

#happyvalentinesday my love. I'm so glad you're my person!

So Day 13 of #RMFastFeb is 'Palentines Day', so of course I had to pick @spskart20. Ty's been awesome to have around the pits. Helps take the pressure off, speaks my language and enjoys a good post-race ice cream. My wife and I love having him around. #shutupanddrivethegokart --- 2020 Sponsors/Supporters @APDriverDevelopment @425Motorsports @HugglerRacingEngines @StudioRhoad @NotFamousRaceDriver @ProvaMotorsports @Kartpulse OUILLC/Team Hope @RacersHQ #keepkartingfun #karting #racing #kart #race #motorsports #speedsecrets #ProjectD #RMFastFeb

Senna finally gets a shot of her own. #racerkitty #catsofinstagram

So Day 12 of the @racingmentor, I didn't want to do a video of the music I listen to, without music (and I don't have the time to make a short music video), so I figured I'd take some screenshots of my recent playlists. If I come back with a better idea, I might redo this one. #RMFastFeb #keepkartingfun #karting #racing #soundtracks #drumandbass #animesoundtracks

So I decided that I wanted to do something different for @racingmentor #RMFastFeb and share some real talk about sponsorship. For 99% of us, the only people who will care about our race results are us and our parents. That's not where the value is for most people. When developing a relationship with a sponsor, race results are not what you should be leaning on (unless race results drive revenue for them.) ---- Protip 1- Do your homework and figure out how a potential partner makes their money and align to that. Protip 2 - Find that unique thing about you that makes that relationship grow, and leverages what you learn from Tip 1. This is not easy, but for all of you fast drivers who wonder why sponsorship is so hard, it's because you're asking for yourself, not looking for value for others. --- Ok, I got that off my chest. Back to regularly scheduled programming tomorrow. #karting #motorsport #racing #grassroots #sponsorship #business #notfamousracingdriver #w2w #scca #nasa #rally #24hoursoflemons #drifting @StudioRhoad @NotFamousRaceDriver *Redo, because I had to get it under 60 seconds for IG*

I love seeing the inspiration for my helmet design being used at the kart track @carlossainz55 @McLarenF1 @oktanevisual #f1 #keepkartingfun #karting #racing #kartracing

So Day 10 of the @racingmentor social media challenge is 'Causes'. I wanted talk about a cause that's near to me. A few years ago, my mother had a successful kidney transplant. Chronic Kidney Disease is hereditary on her side of the family (which is one of the reasons I don't drink/smoke, etc) She's now a powerhouse, working with the University of Washington Kidney Research Institute, traveling to DC and all sorts of things, so I'm blessed she's with us. My parents created a evangelism group called 'Team Hope', which promotes awareness on kidney health and how to help others with chronic kidney diseases. I've also run Team Hope stickers on either my race gear and on my go-kart every season, as a reminder of the importance of family, the importance of health and for good luck. --- 2020 Sponsors/Supporters @APDriverDevelopment @425Motorsports @HugglerRacingEngines @StudioRhoad @NotFamousRaceDriver @ProvaMotorsports @Kartpulse OUILLC/Team Hope @RacersHQ #keepkartingfun #karting #racing #kart #race #motorsports #speedsecrets #ProjectD #RMFastFeb
