On the entry ticket the spectators purchase, there is a spot to write down their favorite rider. Then this rider gets a portion of the entry ticket fee... like a dollar.
This would give the riders a chance to try and make themselves stand out more in the public eye.

Now I agree the 40th place guy does not make eonugh to pay the bills but then again the 40th place guy needs to find a job that he can pay the bills after he gets done chasing his dream ride.
Please dont start bring up what NASCAR pays its 40th place driver because it dont matter. Motocross pays the few riders who have the most talent and thats how it should be.

oh wait, there already isnt much of a show to watch.
I can see why - My son and I went to Freestone, spent $60 to get in the gate, $50 on a couple of tshirts, used about 20 gallons of gas for about $80, ate the lunch and drank the water we brought, and wound up paying almost $200 for the day. The problem is, not much of that money went to the promoter and even less went to the riders. Gas was the single biggest cost. At that rate, the Nationals are going to have to change significantly or they'll die. That's just the way it is.

world. The main stream media has you convinced were in a Modern Day 1920's depression.
Have you ever noticed how some average Joe's tend to panic when ever the news mentions the word depressed or depression it can make them feel uneasy, fuck them rise above it and do what ever you can to beat the system. You know I own my own Business and Yes things a little slow a little. You know what I find other ways to go out and earn an extra buck because I'm motivated to not let this as you say " Energy Crisis- Depression " ruin my day. I do Ebay part time, I buy and sell junk and sometimes treasures. I go to auctions garage sells.ect. I Sell the stuff on Ebay and make an extra $1000.00 a month. I will not let anyone dictate my life, especially the Government on how I am going to get through a bla bla depression. As George Carlin used to say: There are 2 kinds of people in this world 'FUCKERS and FUCKEE"S you choose. You ever notice the people who complain the most are the ones who never do anything about it! I may be just an average citizen but when it comes to local government I do write my local congressmen and local officials, and tell them what a fucking disaster you are doing and try to suggest alternative idea's depending if it's a tax bill to raise money for Cement Tea Cups on the side of Highway 51 here in Phoenix. Several Years ago the State spent a half Million Dollars to have some Jaggoff Artist to design Fucking Tea Cups made from ceramic to go up on the sides of the Highway here Called Squaw Peak Parkway. Shit like this makes me postal. I don't have a Pep Rally's in front on the Govrn's Mansion but I am not afraid to tell them how I fell and suggest alternate plans on how they are going to spend my hard earned money and neither should you.
Getting back to the real topic it's not a bad idea! If you had just 100 people give a buck a piece to your favorite " True Privateer " it would help some.
Just for discussion - if they held Nationals at big car race tracks, maybe build the tracks in the infield or alongside the banking, where they already have parking, camping, bathrooms and amenities and they're usually close to a city - would that be terrible? Or would that just be Supercross in the summer without a roof?
