My kid is 4 and we are well on our way to a factory team, he will be living and training solo at Clubmx next year, so I am trying to get some things cleared up ๐Ÿ˜Ž jk lol

Seriously, if youre a factory amateur and you go to the "nationals" or "big races" do you get reimbursed for entry fees or do you get a per diem (hotels, food, gas) or how does that work?

I would guess it varies. It would be interesting to know the deals. I doubt its as good as it was.

Depends who you are. The top am kids make a lot of money. Six figures. 
 

You get it via travel, expenses, exc. Itโ€™s well known and definitely not a secret.

Lol, have friends that their kids have had podium rides at LL and other big races and nothing. If you arenโ€™t on the factory radar by 7 or 8 years old good luck getting anything besides some percent off discounts and contingency

That makes me wonder to seen a lot of kids that have the speed but seems that the factory teams pick them early and won't give them a second look i guess it has a lot to do with commitment from the parents.
