It can't be terribly expensive to have a motocross team? Then again, I need to start watching those races on Speed again..

Not as expensive as LeMans and cars like that but easily a couple million a year

Sheesh! I guess that traveling and practice and stuff adds up quick. I have a few friends that ride motocross, but none race

Motocross has to take a toll on the body. All those landings from jumps and other impacts have to make you sore.

That looks like a blast!
Anyways, this week is Fuji, a short race at only 35 laps. We're going to have to get to the front quick!

Crashing doesn't help either. You also have rocks and dirt hitting you at +50 from other bikes

I've never riden a dirt bike before, so I didn't know. I do know that the pros get hurt fairly regularly.

I'm sure it's more than worth the risk. I have one friend that has raced motocross before, and he loved it. He decided to go to college instead of keep racing.

Yea I'm going to college as well but I might do some local weekend races
If I had money, I would like to try to do some racing. Maybe I can be one of those "gentleman" drivers one day. I really look up to the likes of John Pew, Mike Hedlund, and Tracy Krohn. They not only fund a team, but have the balls to get in there and race with drivers like Scott Pruett, Andy Lally, and Ryan Dalziel.

That must be really fun! I'm still trying to get my parents to help with a kart
Seriously? I can't bring it with to Ohio, for when we go to that race, BUT, certainly, I'll tell you about karting.
What about an ST team?
Yea, we can still do that
This just in: cnd01, MrMelancholy15, and polarbear345 will have enough money to start an ST team in the year 2080. Hard work and good savings.
I'm in Year 9
For all of y'all Americans, I'm rather sure that means Gr. 9, or, ninth grade.
In Canada, (we're the only country that says this) we say Gr. x.

Sweet, I'm a senior in high school. I'm going to college, so my racing career will wait. Once I get a job after college, I'll go to skip Barber or something like that. That will be where I decide if racing will ever happen with me in the drivers seat.

Lots of talent never gets the chance. I don't have really any connections to big money, so I will have to earn everything I get. I'm going to consider joining Auburn's formula SAE team once I get up there this fall. APR sponsors them or at least they did last year. I might get to work for them one day.

Polarbear.............................................
We do have real connections to big money, though, in a way; work ethics. Although I seem, and am, lazy at home, I actually work decently hard at a job that I hate.
Then, I'll become a knowledgeable mechanic capable of working on race cars, by going to college. All that you guys have to do, really, is make some amount of money, trustworthy friendships (yes, Andrew's Racing) and a few other "things."

So I know a few guys .... And could get us a truck.... And possibly the cars.... But other than that, it's all us!

I might have to at least volunteer for a team for the Rolex 24 at some point. I want to be a part of that race. I'll save money just to drive it one day even if I'm the slowest guy out there with a team that's not racing anything else again.

This weekend, please do be careful about your track usage. Excessive cutting could warrant a penalty!
