DMX Motorsports

DMX Motorsports would like to gain a Sponsorship from a company for our 2008 Race Season.

We would like to help your company with our direct market plan of advertising to a specific demographic of customers. We feel our marketing approach to the motorcycle community is very developed to help gain new customers for your company by our placement of your company’s information and Logo’s.


DMX Motorsports has been involved with West Michigan motorcycle events for 10 years now and has a very well respected name in the motorcycle industry. We are involved in local events as well as national. Our direct marketing plan is built for both venues.

DMX Motorsports HarleyDavidson Motorcycle Drag Racing Team is involved with the AMRA Racing Association. ( All American Racing Association which is affiliated with the IHRA) Motorcycle Drag Racing has become the fasted growing sport in the world. The AMRA Averages per event between 37,000 and 57,000 race fans per event. The AMRA right now has the most Fans of any Motorcycle Drag Racing Series in the Country. We are also in the 2008 Season getting involved in the AHDRA (All Harley Drag Racing Association) for races closest to our geographical location.


Drag Racing is a form of motor sports which is unlike any other motor sport. Drag Racing is the test of knowledge, power, and speed. It takes a talented well educated team of experts to build a motorcycle engine to endure the punishment of racing.

We have experienced the turmoil’s of this sport by introducing the newest model of Harley Davidson’s family of motorcycles. The Vrod motorcycle is the newest line of products with Harley’s second try of production for a water cooled engine in 31 years. (The first Harley Water cooled engine was intoduced in a Prototype form know as “The Nova Project”back in 1976.) The Vrod motorcycle has not been perfected by Harley for racing as of yet. After market builders such as DMX Motorsports has taken this motorcycle to new heights with re engineering every internal moving part to with stand the punishment of drag racing.

DMX Motorsports has even built the latest in Dyno Technology Labs to tune this engine to it’s full potential with Scientific calculations. We have made theses moves to help us post a World Land Speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats. We will do this during the BUB International Motorcycle Speed Week in September of 2010. This event will again launch DMX Motorsports and our Sponsors as key players in the motorcycle industry.









DMX Motorsports has certain placement for your companies Logo’s on our race carrier, Web site (including link), uniforms, banners in our pit area, and advertising brochures for any event that we host.

DMX Motorsports is also very involved with area motorcycle events such as Bike Time in Muskegon. Where we rode our Race Bike right down Iron Horse Alley. DMX Motorsports works very closely with Promoter’s who host Bike time to help sponsor’s get involved.

We’re also involved in the Blues On the Mall downtown Grand Rapids with direct marketing to the motorcycle crowd by handing out information about our sponsors to 700 riders every Wednesday night.

DMX Motorsports also is involved locally with hosting 4 Bike nights this past summer for our Sponsor’s. One was a special Night just for Sport Bikes on Monday nights at 36th Street Lounge. (Early in the night we had over 125 bikes this night)



One Bike night on Tuesday night over at the Twisted Bull Saloon on Eastern Ave, And Thursday night at Main Street Pub on 28th Street. We held one at Hooters in Grand Rapids the past 2 years but for business Reason’s we had to stop promoting that one and wait till DMX Motorsports Moves towards Southern Michigan to bring back Hooters as a National Sponsor.

During the Metro Cruise in Wyoming Michigan we held a large event for bikers at Main Street Pub with a Hog Roast and Beer Tent.

(2007 Metro Cruise Saturday August 25th Over 37,000 Hot Rod enthusiast come each for this 2 day event)

All of our Sponsors are welcome to join us at any event to help promote their business’s along with what DMX Motorsports will be doing through out the summer locally ourselves.
