Mike,
I'm sorry I have to be the one to bring you back into reality, but someone has to do it for your own good.
You're just not sharp enough to obtain a meaningful sponsorship, and you are many years away from getting to the point where any sane company would even remotely consider sponsoring you or any car you gut. I'm not talking about your horrific grammar, because it goes deeper than that. You don't seem to be thinking with any logic whatsoever, and have shown absolutely zero ability to effectively communicate. It's like asking to be an astronaut before you've even been in a plane as a passanger. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but the only company stickers you'll be sporting anytime soon will the ones identifying your short bus on the way to basket weaving class.

You will have to work at it to come across as a knowledgable individual.
Now, just the fact that you are gutting your Evo doesn't make it an attractive option. In fact, 99% of Evos are NOT gutted and never will be, so you won't appeal to the masses. There's no reason to pay all that money for SSL only to spend even MORE money to remove everything that you paid for. Also, saying you SHOULD have an "11s road race car or so" is a big assumption. You will have to go out and prove that you can run 11s, then you will have to go out and show that you are a superior driver on the road course within a sanctioned race event. Do you have your licenses for whatever sanctioned racing club you will participating with (i.e. SCCA, NASA, etc)?

Hey, are you calling me by the name of "The Father of Medicine" (Hippocrates), a large mammal (hippopotamus), or someone who says things without doing them himself (hypocrite)?
Ok I eat my words but its only called block formatting in MSword. BTW I was in fact calling you hippocrates, just spelled it wrong. sheesh, mabye I should start using spell check

for
truth
you have the same idea as 500000 other people, but you lack anything special besides a learning disability. having a gutted evo will not in fact help you with much, including getting sponsored.
also i wanted to ask if you would sell me your interior if you are not going to use it since you dont use the car for DD.

Ditto that, but in addition you need to be competitive in those events. Once you get to that level, nail down some wins to show you got what it takes. Then go to whom you have an interest in getting sponsership from and tell them your story and successful results.

That's harsh, but funny!
Well this is how I got sponsored when I had my 95 Integra GSR.
I went to a lot of street races and beat a lot of people I went up against.
In addition I went to a lot of track events and won trophies for runner up and even 2nd place on 2 separate occasions at E-Towns survival series events.
95-97 M3's, Z28's with bolt-ons, and even 92-95 Civic hatchbacks with B18C5 swaps were some of my kills.... I was one heck of a driver then...
I suck now launching the AWD EVO since, I stopped streetracing a long time ago....
Anyhow, by beating everyone on the street races I got a "reputation" and people knew about me and I even had a street "nick name" as well which I wont mention..... and shops would give me stuff at cost, and even install my stuff for free.... thats the best I ever got it...
******Disclaimer*******
Thats how I did it in the past when I was young and stupid.... to anyone else who reads this thread dont do what I did. if you wanna get sponsorship, go out there and win some races at legally sanctioned events, and approach a few vendors/shops and see if they'd be willing to help ya out.

Thanks for the heads up warr.... I'll go back and edit it.

That reminds me of family guy where Peter is having trouble controlling the VOLUME OF HIS voice.
