Nah, I let it expire... Just about everything I got as an offer was for a show car. Not bad deals at all, but nothing useful to me... I wouldn't be able to hold up my end of the deal, since I don't participate in car shows! I may sign up again when my car is race-worthy (or at least road-worthy) again! They WILL contact companies of your choosing and try to get you sponsored. No guarantees, but depending on how you present yourself, it may be beneficial.
It's a good company, and a good idea if you understand what your role is in it. A lot of people think "Ooh! I'll sign up and get all sorts of free stuff!"... but when they realize they have to participate in shows, send detailed diagrams and descriptions of certain setups (Blaupunkt requires this), and *gasp* PAY for some things (the most valuable sponsorships start as partial sponsorships)... they start calling it a scam.
Trying to get free stuff for nothing is a scam.
YES, you CAN get sponsored without the help of a company like this. Many of the SoCal guys (like Ghost2.2) have managed to get sponsored on their own, even with very little done to thier cars. If you can do that, great. If you can sell yourself and your car well enough to get someone's attention, more power to you. Not everybody can, though... and not everybody is in an area that has a lot of companies interested in sponsoring old Accords. For those people, this is a very good deal.
However... I've been a scout since I signed up. I've managed to get $100 worth of signups (oddly enough, very few are from this site!) I've had that $100 sitting in my account there for months. I have not yet recieved a check, and $100 is the payout amount. My one contact attempt so far has been ignored.
