Hey guys!
My name is Jeremy, I am 20 years old. I have been racing motocross for 12 years now. I made it to the A class, and I want to at least get my pro card and race a few nationals. But for me to do this, it seems impossible to make enough money to race, pay for parts, bikes, and gear. Then add car insurance and everything else on top! I don't know if it’s even worth me trying to get my card and struggling with low paying jobs because of having to take so many days off to travel. (Not planning on becoming Villopoto or anything.) I just started a Job where I work 6 days a week, full benefits, health insurance, and more! I also have My Class A CDL license. But I am just not having fun! My dream job would involve dirt, bikes, and people! Maybe driving a privateer rig to the armature/Pro Nationals. I just want to get to race or just to watch every weekend. I just want to follow my dream of racing pro a few times then, working with the future of motocross to make the sport even more EPIC! If you have any suggestions please feel free to let me know! I AM VERY WILLING TO TRAVEL!

The Shop
You can race local
Job is important
I am to lazy to look it up
You should look it up
He says fuck dreams
Chase opportunity not dreams
When you get older you will realize why this is truth
We go to Aruba, and its amazing for a week. But when we come back we still live in Michigan. I love Aruba while we're there (the dream), but it doesn't help me with reality (coming back home). Take the reality option, and build your reality up to what you want, because dreams only last so long.
Pit Row
Map out all the closest events to you arenacross, supercross and motocross.
First do a few AX events to get the license.
then hit whatever SX and MX is within a day drive from home.
Its doable with a full time job, but you'll sacrafice something along the way to do it.
Say the event is on Saturday. Work Friday and load up and drive out. I think AX events are two days so you could even skip the saturday event and make it to the sunday portion.
And follow the money. Make the most per hour you can. There are lots of ways to make a lot of money, but how much of your life and for how long do you want to sacrifice? Find a job you can tolerate and be happy with that pays well. If you ever have a family you will understand this even more.
It's a constant balancing act between making a lot of money and not trading your life for it. If you are going to follow your dreams 21 is the right age to do it. Everyone should do it once.
