My name is Nick Green, I’m 22 years old and I’m a motorcycle racer from Cambridge. The reason why I’m writing to you today is because I’m looking for sponsorship to further my career and progress to the next level.

I started riding bikes when I was 12 years old riding and racing motorcross but I always had the desire to move into road racing and in 2004 I did so, when I started racing an 80cc motorcycle along with rides on a 125cc bike. In my first year racing I finished 3^rd in the EMRA 80cc championships and finished 4^th in the national championships as well.

After the season we decided to move up to 125cc category as it it’s good class to develop your racing skills, we moved up to the New Era Honda Super Club championship, it was going to be difficult but after a successful pre season test in Spain I was ready for the challenge. It was a tough season where I was riding as hard as I could (the bike was 8 years old and hardly competitive) but the results were not showing how hard I was trying, but regular top 10 finishes out of starting grids of thirty plus, I couldn’t really complain but unfortunately I had a crash at Donington Park and broke my leg so that ended the season, I ended up 9^th in the championship which wasn’t so bad considering I missed the last 4 rounds but it taught me a lot about how to ride a bike.

After the 2005 season we all sat down and decided where to go from here and after a lot of debating we decided to go to the Supersport series. We bought a 2003 Honda CBR600RR bike which was a proven supersport championship winning bike so there would not be any excuses on the bike front anyway if I didn’t at least compete towards the front of the field. After discussions with friends we decided to contest the Derby Phoenix Motorcycle Club formula 600 championship.

I went out to Spain again to preseason test and get myself accustomed to the new bike, the fact it was a four stroke instead of a 2 stroke and it had triple the power I was used to. It was my hardest season so far as the supersport class is regarded as the toughest class in motorcycle racing, but after a tough start it started to come together towards the end of the season where I was fighting towards the top end of the grid and improving my skills and racing with riders who normally race in the British supersport class. I ended up finishing the season in 11^th place out of forty riders so I was fairly happy but knew I would have to prove myself next season.

We kept the same bike for the 2007 season as we knew the bike would be competitive, it was just down to me. We went out to Spain again to try and get me ready for the season and it was another good test as I went a lot quicker than the previous year so I was happy. We decided to stay with the same racing club as 2006 as it was very competitive and they visited the best tracks in the country. It turned out to be a really good year and I developed my skills both on and off the track, learning a lot more about the technical side of the bike along with riding as we were a lot quicker now and finding the last couple of tenths is down to fine tuning the bike and rider. It was another difficult season with more of the British championship riders riding with us it was hard to keep up with them as they had better machinery and tyres but we gave another good account of ourselves with regular top 10 finishes to round off the season. In 2008 we brought a 2006 Honda CBR 600RR as my other bike was starting to struggle with the newer machines. We had a good test in Jerez where I took 4 seconds off my time from last year which put me in good positive frame for the new season. With several podium finishes, going even faster at every circuit and establishing better race craft, it became a successful season with the highlight finishing 6^th and 7^th at the fully televised Thundersport GB event at Snetterton.

Looking forward to 2009 we are looking to do the full Thundersport GB championship which each round is televised and shown on various sky channels. We are also looking to do some wildcard rounds at the British Superbike championship which is live on British Eurosport along with featured coverage in motorcycle papers.

Now you are probably still wondering why your company should sponsor this unknown motorcycle racer.  Well this is why, I’m hard working and dedicated and will not stop until I succeed, even when I’m not at the track I’m doing everything I can to prepare for my next race. At the moment as I’m not racing I’m in the gym 5 days a week pushing myself forward and working all the hours I can to fund the racing, as racing is the only thing I work for and think about.

What you would get if you did sponsor myself: You will be welcomed to every round of the championship with free entry and be able to watch the closet racing from a good vantage point. With the championship being televised your company would be visible to all the viewers on the TV channels as well as pictures of the bike being in various motorcycle papers. And the top three riders (as this is why I’m here) always get interviewed for the TV so your company will always get a mention from me. And off the track if you would ever need help promoting your business or just helping out from time to time I will always be happy to help. You will be joining a host of other established companies in the Cambridgeshire area including Marshall Body Shop, Cambridge Motorcycles and PH Aliens just to name a view

That’s about all I can say to try convince you of sponsoring a local motorcycle racer who is dedicated to achieve his dream of being world champion, thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to read this.
