Are you in good with a local shop? That's usually the best place to start. Possibly get a job there and build up a reputation with them. Getting big name mfg to recognize your name is tough. Lots of fast people out there. You need a local source for parts and support.
I was thinking pornhub but I'd owe them money.
Possibly look into sponsorship from a shop or mfg? A positive attitude and strong results will definitely help. Save you some dollars and get you known for later down the road.
