As many of you know, over the years Project X Marketing of Cambridge, MN, has been attempting to help racers find a way to better support their hobby without breaking their wallet, and has done a solid job of it the vast majority of the time. I have heard many stories, both good and bad, of what current owner Chris Kolstad and his staff have done over the years. What I found in my research was pretty much what I expected, that over the first few years it wasn't too positive and over the last few things have turned much more positive. Project X Marketing has produced over 2,000 pairings of drivers and sponsors but the goal is for every driver through the doors of the company to succeed, or it is a failure, as myself and anyone affiliated believe. Our intent is to find all that have not had a positive experience and turn it into one. This is why I would like to hear from EVERY driver, both that have and have not worked with Project X Marketing over the years. I want to know the good and the bad, as I will be part of the group taking over ownership as of August 1st. If you are in need of sponsors, please visit us at http://www.projectxmarketing.net or on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/247170335426747/

For those needing info on obtaining sponsorships or to share an experience with Project X Marketing, please contact me at [email protected] or via phone at 763 742 6205. Thank you for your time.

The following is exactly what I never got:

What I did get, is the runaround. I have repeatedly asked for a response. I was promised a refund prior to my deployment last year. Chris never sent it. He has a habit of saying that a person somehow violated some contract, ethical clause. I assure you I never badmouthed Project X once in the first 3 years of trying to remedy the situation. I have since given up on being ethical and morally bound. I was promised a refund, was out of the country serving in Afghanistan, and since returning have been given the same "non response" that Chris is so famous for. That $350 would have gone far for my wife while I was deployed.
