objective

Higbee Racing’s main objective is to provide a motorsports marketing solution for growing businesses to stay ahead of the competition in today’s challenging economy. This is accomplished by collaborating with a few select companies in a multi-year sponsorship business plan. The companies’ individual marketing dollars will be pooled together in a strategic manner to create a marketing impact greater than any stand-alone budget could generate.

The business plan incorporates the Higbee Racing program as a tool to create valuable marketing impact by competing in select 2012 AMA Pro Roadracing, TTXGP, FIM E Power and WSMC events. The race results and team marketing will project an image of exceptional performance with demonstrable efficiency, dedication, and the courage to be leaders.

Through the eyes of the public, the sponsors’ brands will also be associated with these qualities. The presence of the race team will create extraordinary fan affinity, loyalty and strengthen market share for the sponsors products and services. The combination of competitive results, and spectacular presentation will also enhance branding for all stakeholders.

EXPERIENCE

I started road racing motorcycles in 1989 and have won many races and championships over the past 20 years. Throughout these years much knowledge has been gained about the sport of motorcycle road racing. Racing success has been earned at the regional, national and international levels. Countless hours have been spent learning how to efficiently operate a team, including budgeting, and marketing. As well as honing race craft, assembling race bikes and testing. As a test development rider, I have extensive product development and testing experience.
