how to start a family race team?

It depends on what level you are competing on. You will need money either from a family business or other income. Alternatively, you will need someone with a solid track record to attract support from sponsors. You will also need to ensure members of the team are capable of performing their roles and aren't there simply because they related to you. Motor sport is an unforgiving business. Good luck to you.

Try a company called Racing Beat.

There are several aways to share, besides actually competing.\n\nA good way to start, and to get to know people is by marshalling.\n\nAll events need hundreds of marshalls, so if you volunteer, you can go along and help an experienced marshall, and the eventually become in charge of a check point.\nIf you know of an event in your area, contact the organisers. They will have a chief marshall, and he will be able to help you.\n\nIf you want to compete or marshall, then the best way is to join a Motor Club. If you are in the UK, then contact me and I can advise you of which clubs are suitable.\nOtherwise, google for motor clubs, and find one near you. Go along to a meeting, (usually monthly, but sometimes more often) and introduce yourself.\n\nGood luck.\nIt's great sport, with very sociable people

YEP! They like the extra "show"......Just contact the director of the activities, or the place hosting the sport and make arrangements with them! You can usually find the info on the racing sites on who to contact. Better to call and actually speak with a person though, and make sure you take names!

What I would do if I were starting a selective 14-15 yr. old team would first be to spread the word of a tryout. Talk to nearby High School coaches and ask them for any athlete contacts. Put an add in the newspaper. Make lots of phone calls. Next, hold a tryout and assemble a team. Hold practices. Sign up for games to be played and tournaments to be played in. I'm not sure of the overall cost, but you could potentially get some sponsors to help shoulder the load. Most baseball tournaments are at least 200$ per team. Next is uniforms, travel, overnight stay, etc. Good luck with your team!

Start at your local racetrack, find local businesses who are interested in sponsoring a team.But the most important thing is to find someone who will show you the ropes, go to a driving school, but a lot of the drivers started from the ground up, go-carts, modifieds, etc. Find a machine shop or some business that deals in race parts.But the thing is to get your face and name out there to be recognized, because with most things, it's WHO you know as well as your talent.You can be the greatest racer, but have no personality and you have to SELL,SELL,SELL!

Questions you have to ask yourself. \n1/Are fit for the race?\n2/Do you have to time?\n\nYou should race if yes for both questions.

I would choose your family. Obviously the site is sporting clothing for the entire family. The best results will be from a family with a range of age groups.

Make sure you have enough facilities. Create some sort of tournament format. Try to promote the kids as much as possible. Have a Public Address announcer. Make MVP's for games/tournaments. Keep obnoxious coaches under wraps. They're kids not pros so the more annoying Bobby Knight type fathers that are there, the more problems that you will have.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy.  we have been racing for 14 years now & are constatnly looking for sponsers.  It requires very good people skills & basically selling yourself as a product.  You and your car will represent whichever company sponsers you.  It requires meeting a lot of people & a lot of knocking on strangers doors. I'd start with auto parts stores.  Also, we have made some deals with our favorite resturants & companies that we work for.  It helps to put together a portfolio about yourself & your racing achivements. Also - your sponsers might want you to bring your race car down so that can can view what condition your equipment is in & also, on days that the comapny has a big sale or open house, they might want you to bring the car down so that their customers can see it also.

Just try and stay with the pack and then see how the race develops before making a move

one that makes menthol cigarettes so they could use your race as part of their advertising campaign\ncools sounds a good bet for a tie in take plenty of Smirnoff iced [maybe they will sponsor you as well \nif the other team tries to cheat let me know and i will send a squad of aqua trolls to blast them with flame throwers that should dampen their spirits

Race to start with and if you do that make a name for your self by winning and competing. If you done that then maybe start advertising yourself to owners. Kinda like what Carl Edwards did. You might start out on different team but you can trade up after contract up. Good Luck On Life

sausage sizzle at the mall or get some sponsorship prizes and run a raffle.\n\nbest thing is find a good corporate sponsor....ask the players of the team if they have friends who own businesses...they would be a good starting point.\n\ngood luck!

Depending on the age of the kids, it varies. Because they're kids, I would start with a fun shooting drill. Perhaps "Miami" - Set up a shooting line and a rebounding line. Have the shooting line move from layups to the baseline to the wing tho the elbow.\nBall handling - Get a partner, dribble from baseline to baseline and back, pass ball to partner. Go through right, left, safety dribble (with offhand protecting the ball), and depending on age some hesitations and crossovers.\nPassing - Just get across from a partner and do chest and bounce passes.\nWork on defensive slides. Zig Zag pattenrn\nPositional instruction - Big men( layup drills, Mikan, teach them drop steps, power dribbles, pump fakes, going up with the ball, Do one-on-one post up)\nGuards - More shooting, one-on-one,\nOffense - Teach your plays \nHalf-court, run an offense against a defense. Controlled, possibly Make it - take it, or rotate every five possessions.\nAs season progesses, scrimmage more.(Always under control)\nBe Creative, be observant.  Does your team need to improve rebounding? Teach Box-out technique and make a drill. Offer incentives for defense not to allow any offensive boards.(like less conditioning).\nHave fun
