Motorsport Marketing Events

Connect with your customers in person–and on a personal level–at our annual events. Sponsorships and vendor spots are available at several price points, and we handle all promotion and marketing at no extra cost.

Our involvement with Grassroots Motorsports has been key. We competed in (and won) their Ultimate Track Car Challenge. We’ve advertised in their magazine. We have given garage tours to their fans during race weekends. Racing is a great marketing tool that has turned into results for my business, and the people at GRM are winners.
— Ben Keating, Viper Exchange
We have partnered with Classic Motorsports since the magazine’s inception. We are pleased to see how the publication has grown and serves our core audience.

What is Wear Your Helmet to Work Day? Simple: It’s the one day of the year when we can share our passion with the rest of the world (or at least the office). Strike up a shock tuning conversation by the water cooler. Berate your cubemate because you can do a driver change in your endurance car quicker than he can move out of the way of your filing cabinet. Sleep in a meeting because your visor is tinted. You can even enjoy your safest commute of the year thanks to your trusty helmet. Working from home? Fold some laundry with extra head protection, and try not to scare your small children and pets too much.

The essential part of celebrating is what makes this event a marketing opportunity you won’t want to miss: Participants must share their festive headwear with the world under the hashtag #WearYourHelmetToWork in order to win the day. At the end of the work day, we share our favorite photos with our audience and put our (helmeted) heads together to choose a winner to receive a band-new helmet from the sponsor.
