.... of your own team. With the free agents this year what would your 4 rider team look like for next year?
2 -450 riders
2 - 250 riders
You have 1 mil to spend without factory assistance or sponsorship money, but they require all your riders do sx and mx....
you have to figure in the factory and associate sponsor $ ....
So who do you think you can get and will they ride both series'.
Matthes will not be a "man friend" to anyone on the team so that'll save you $$....

and if I understand, it's $1MM split between 4 riders?
The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
In the 250 class, I'd have to go with Ashley Fiolek (in the men's class) and The General (Brian Deegan).
I wouldn't care about winning but that'd be nice. I just want high profile athletes that bring my sponsors lots of customers so that I, in turn, make a lot of money.
Josh Grant: $400k
Kyle Regal: $200k
Both plus "contingencies"
250(1 west/1 east):
Austin Howell: $100k
Jeff Alessi: $100k
Both plus "contingencies"
Contingencies negotiated w/ title sponsor(s) & OEMs.
Ben Townley: MX ONLY $200K
Ivan Tedesco: $350k
250:
Josh Hansen: $150k (West)
Malcom Stewart: $50k (East)
Team Manager:
Dave O : $150k
What type of team do you think you could put together with 1mil....
Seriously it's not a lot of money to spread out to 4 riders that have to do both series.
The question is who would be avalible and who do you think you could get for X dollars?
Pourcel: 500
Regal: 200
250
Hahn: 150
Baggett: 150
T Hahn- 400... Solid top 10 guy every week, with frequent top 5s
JLaw- 250... Still has amazing speed, give him good surroundings and see what happens.
250
J. Decotis- 125
N. Izzi- 100
Canard - 400,000
Cunningham - 250,000
250
Baggett - 150,000
Hahn - 200,000
Then I would sign them for $75k.
I would spend $100k on a speaking and PR coach.
Then I would spend $600k on a marketing team.
After my riders clean house and win every freaking title the first year I would 10X their base pay with all the sponsor money that is rolling in.
Decoster would be all paraniod and only talk to up and comers on scrambled phones or in person.
Dungey $350k
Townley $350k
250:
Wilson $150k
Baggett $150k
This team could produce a west(Wilson) &east(Baggett) title, 450 SX(Dungey), 250 MX(Wilson), and 450 MX(Townley) title all in a single year
I have a bridge in Brooklyn you may be interested in, too.
Don't forget above all the testing you'd need to do, that cost money. Pit shirts, jackets, food at testing and on race day for your crew, friends & family, and sponsors.
On top of all that you'd need insurance for the transporter, riders, the shop and hiden things you'd never think of.
I just said hiden costs, well there are so many you wouldn't even imagen.
I don't think you have enough money. Everyone just thinks about riders salaries and that's only a small part of the whole program. With no tital sponsor, you better not even try, Trust me.
I didn't write down many other expences, because I don't want to bore you. I think with just the amount I've given you, anyone can see there's much more to having a race team than just hiring some riders.
The other $100K goes to the Mahogany room.
