Hello racers,
My name is PJ Palermo and I am the Team Privateer specialist at Lockhart Phillips USA. Usually Aaron at LP posts on this board but I wanted to take the time to introduce myself as well. I wanted to drop everyone a line and let you know we are continually expanding our Team Privateer Program. This program supports roadracers throughout the USA by offering discounts on our LPUSA race products. In addition to supporting privateers Lockhart Phillips also backs racers by sponsoring the AMA LPUSA Formula Extreme class and the Pace LPUSA Unlimited Superbike class. LPUSA offers this program to the racers as a way to give back to the racing community for which LPUSA has been involved in for quite some time. Our requirements for being considered for privateer sponsorship are that you have a current racing license with any amateur or pro racing sanctioning body (ie: WERA, CCS, AFM). Please also let us know what class you are racing. Upon receipt of these documents via e-mail, postal mail or fax I will get back to the racers within 24 hours, usually the same day. After you are set up in our computer system a racer packet of information is immediately sent out. The racer packet includes a catalog, pricelist, stickers for your bike, patch for your leathers, hat and a brief contract to look over, sign and return. The contract is very brief and is mostly a release of liability against Lockhart Phillips. It also states that you will run a small 4x4 "LP Racing" square sticker on each side of the bike. If your use to paying retail pricing for parts you can expect a 40-50% decrease in price! Orders can be placed for product immediately pending your contract being sent back to us. There are also countless benefits offered to our racers mid year like "Privateer of the Month" where a different racer each month is featured on our website for recent accomplishments. In addition to the press the racer is also given a parts credit to be used towards additional LP purchases. We also offer special promotions and closeout of items only available to racers. Not even LPUSA dealers are available for these promotions. Get that replacement exhaust canister that has small shipping dent in the back of it for a quarter of its original cost, or a set of leathers that has been discontinued. If you have any questions about the program don't hesitate to call or e-mail.
Thanks for your time.

This is a GREAT program! Thanks PJ.
I'm in....I've been in.....you guys should be in this too.
This really is a great program. I'm also sponsored by my local dealership, Cochise Motorsports (shameless plug, but it's my job) and while I'm at it, I'm also sponsored by Motorex Oils. The LP Team Privateer program allows me to buy things that I would normally get from Cochise Motorsports at the SAME price that they would pay for it or less!!
It doesn't take any time to become a Team Privateer member and you don't have to have a resume like Aaron Yates to be considered. In fact, they have never asked for my racing history.
Do this. If you don't, you are throwing money away.
All they ask is that you abide by the rules, use their products, run their stickers and mention their name whenever possible.

Hey, PJ! Nice to "see" you!
I've placed two orders through the Team Privateer program thus far, and I couldn't be happier with the service and pricing. This is a "win-win" deal for sure!
Thank you PJ and Lockhart Phillips this is a good thing you are doing. A lot of us "racers" not rich $ but through this program make it a little bit easyer to do what love, out there on the track and I am doing my part. I was interview by the sport editor for the local paper Trenton Times in the interview I did mention Lockhart Phillips has one of my sponcer. When I get a chance I will email you a copy of the article.
Thanks again

PJ,
Man your the best. Everytime I call to order parts or have a question you always give the best customer service and I feel like we've been friends for years. Thanks LP RACING for your outstanding support for the '03 season. PJ keep up the great work.

LP USA. The place where 1/3 to 1/2 of my race budget goes every year. Don't go telling my competition about this, or they'll be saving money with LP on everything else they need and spending all the $$$ they save with the tire guy like I do! Never met you PJ, but I've dealt with Aaron many times. When do we get the new catalogs?
Hey PJ. I talked to ya'll a while back and never got my packet in the mail. Also, please let me know when you start getting the Italian stuff I keep hearing about over there. Do you have anything for Ducati's currently? TIA
Bryan Cassell
I have stuff for Duc's...and i will help you out even though i am having to compete with one of my suppliers on price ::) and i have LOTS more to offer you as far as product....and i can have it to you in a few days ;D
I haven't forgotten about ya Greg. I haven't signed up with them yet, just asked for the info. Also, I have a local shop that helps me out with dyno runs and such, but NOBODY around here has Ducati stuff. If you don't mind me running your stickers AND his (Superbikes & Ski), I might be interested. Wanna email me some guidelines on your program? What kind of chit you got, man?
i don't mind at all..we have people that run our as well as 1888 fastlap ...but i don't mind.. love all the guys down there... a little competition is good for you ;D just as a dealer i should have have to compete with one of MY suppliers on price but give me a call and tell me what all you need and when you are ready we can go from there ;D as far as guidlines...go to my site under racer program ..it's pretty simple... all you have to do is run the stickers and list us as a sponsor...oh..and buy stuff...LOL
Discount on VP for Jennings? ;D
lol..that one is not up to me ;D but i can take your order if you need me to bring you some ;D just need to have the orders in by tomorrow
I still haven't decided. Probably gonna stick with pump gas until my corner speed warrants a faster bike on the straights...lol.
lol...ok... ;D well i'm off to open the store...see ya later
Another plug for the Privateer Program!
I signed up several months ago and couldn't be more pleased with the service Aaron and PJ provide. They've both been very friendly and helpful when I call.
