I know most of you know and hear it on hear and other places but in the past few weeks it has really showed. I have been doing alot of somewhat local races and i will throw numbers out just for you guys to see how backwards it is. Ill start out by telling in outdoors a 16th overall is 720 dollars. Western reserve paid 850 a moto. 2 stroke national i made 500 a moto (4motos). Kroc i won a 1 lap dash for cash and recieved traxxas rc truck and 400 cash and won the first moto and got a 5th and 2 dnf's. I made 1100 at kroc with the worst weekend i had in forever. Now getting to it in a sport when you turn pro and spent your life trying to be a professional in the sport you love wouldnt you think that you would do better as a pro in the top 20?let alone top 40? all the money flowing through nationals with 257.00 to sign up and i couldnt go on forever with all the stuff that is mandatory. Who would want to be pro unless you have a wealthy family or had money somewhere for afterwards. What happens to all the pros that arent top 5 and spent their life doing this and at 25 say now what?
Now on to my 2nd part. How could it be possible to start nationals/series for privateers so that at least they are making some money and getting same treatment. theres no way this sport will keep growing with these numbers and since its so hard to quit doing "your job" why not find a way to make it better or more beneficial for the ones that are favorited?
