I would rather see sponsorship funds going into prizes like best Class Novice/Newcomer and other such things as this helps attract new blood to the series which is essential for the continuation of DD.
Glyns Sponsorship of Class B last year was fantastic as was the idea behind Dickies prize in 2005 with Lin a well deserved winner.

I guess it's because the whole club want to go racing and is one of the massive benefits of a club run series.

Certainly the reason I do it is that I love racing and wish I was good/young enough to do it myself!

The sponsorship choice is not based purely on a commercial thought as I frankly do not care if I get new clients from it! Although if the taxman asks then I did do a thorough investigation of investment potential before claiming it as advertising!
