Default How do you get in contact with event vendors?

I'm brand new and launching our t-shirt company site in less than 2 months. I want to sell to the vendors at track events like Motocross, Nascar, NHRA, and other smaller track events. Does anyone know how to get in touch with the vendor row people so I can get them to sell our t-shirts there?

Thanks for all the help. I've learned so much from this site! Amazing.

you have to get a booth in the event to let people know you.. have some t shirt print and try to sell them and offer them to the vendor or racing team

Try visiting the event websites and going to the vendor signup section. Many will list vendors who are already signed up, or vendors who participated last year.

Also, visit the photo gallery section. You may be able to determine vendors from the pictures posted.

It also wouldn't hurt to ask the event for their vendor list. Tell them why you want it so they know you aren't trying to steal their vendors from them for another event. You never know...
