If you do have the talent and the passion to go for it, like others have said above, the new internet economy has made it so that you can create your own wealth stream by branding yourself online. I see a lot of these relatively no name privateers have thousands of followers on facebook,twitter etc... These are all potential customers. How many rich kid motoheads would pay Jimmy D to show up at their birthday ride day? Or even at a party. Shit there's all kinds of ways to milk cash out of this sport. The only rider I really see taking advantage of this is Jimmy Albertson, the guy is a genius and has an enormous following via the goon riding brand.

I think the breakdown for 250s should look more like.
1. 10,000
2. 7,000
3. 5,000
4 4,000
5. 3,000
6. 2,000
7. 1,500
8. 1,250
9, 1,100
10. 1,000
11. 950
12. 900
13. 850
14. 800
15. 750
16-22. $700
add that all up and its $45,000 purse for the 250 class, and do a holeshot award + misc for LCQ and pay out $50k for 250s. Now, in hind sight that is a lot of money that somebody is going to lose out on, BUT it might get better guys coming out to race (say European guys, even just for a race like Daytona). and in my opinion 10th on a 250 should walk out with $1000, err. sorry, $800 after paying to race.
If first place is walking away with less than $7500 (payout) that is a complete joke.
Unfortunately that would not work because the same people that bitch about the purses are the same ones that bitch about ticket prices and would keep that dollar and use it towards a down payment on one of their $8 beers before donating it for the riders.
Feld pay's FIM & AMA the Prize money, don't look toward any of the three offering anything except a if you don't like it go race somewhere else.
Show me one time when AMA actually did anything for these riders that improves their situation.
But then this week he posts on Instagram thanking Vurb for giving him recognition in the Chargers vs Anchors article, then complained that him and Cole Thompson didn't get any TV time. Really man? How many guys get more than a few seconds of TV time that aren't up front, crashing, or in some kind of exceptional (probably aggressive) battle? Like someone said as far as the pay goes - if you want more money, finish higher. Well, if you want more TV time, finish higher. We all wanna see the local photo jockeys take our picture a hundred times when we go to the track but that's just not how it works.
Anyone else agree?
Feld-good business man
Jimmy the Rippa-not a good business man
My granpappy taught me a valuable lesson about dollars and cents when I was just a little feller......if it don't make dollars, it don't make sense.
You kill two birds with one stone. You look like a white knight for loading the seats up with orphans and their caretakers, and you also quadruple the prize money. If Feld teams up with an under privileged childcare organization, they can write it off on their taxes is a charitable cause.
Yea, yea, i know, absolutely horrible idea, never work.
