Some of you will remember that the ROC did not have many of the same sponsors
for very long.  One of the problems with our sport is the low profile
and lack of "visibility".  Hence, sponsors don't get much bang for
their buck....

Sponsors, like riders, are customers...you've got to give them something in return equal to what they are giving...
