In my honest opinion... performance sponsorships are night and day different than show sponsorships. With performance, its all about proving the parts make power and that they work well. With show, you really don't have to prove anything except that the part fits and looks nice to some ppl. Performance sponsorships usually involve a lot more communication and closer bind with the sponsor and customer too... as well as a lot more difficult to achieve and maintain. After all, it's MUCH easier to stay parked at a car show than it is to run fast ETs or laps at the track.
Its also hard to tell what a person means when they say they are "sponsored". Some people get stuff at cost from a certain vendor so they consider themselves sponsored... some get free s/h, some free labor, and some even something petty as free stickers and feel that they are sponsored. What really gets me is when someone buys a product, it comes with stickers, they slap 'em on, then they feel that they are sponsored. Be careful on who you believe when they say they're "sponsored" by blah blah.
