We just race as a hobby. Money wise, our goal is to break even. I started racing the modified (white car) when I was 15 years old, and we've actually "sold the car out" every year. Every peice of available sheet metal was covered in sponsor names. That really helps out
With a lot of help from a big sponsor, we're moving from modifieds to sprint cars this year. The whole racing program is funded from mechanicing. We've usually got a hand full of tractors, skidloaders, 4-wheelers, or other gas-guzzling machines sitting around the shop that we buy/sell.
I had a dirt bike when I was younger, but gave it up to race gokarts when I was 8. (didn't really give it up, I ran into a tree stump and totalled it and dad wouldn't fix it, hehe) Ever since then I've been banned from 2 wheels. Till, a few weeks ago dad agreed that if I sold my car that since I finally finished paying it off, I could buy whatever I wanted with the $$. So hears comes the bike!!

Thats cool, I have always liked watching the races. There is a track about 45 minutes away from me and we try to go a couple times a year. As far as the bike goes, good luck and post some pics when you get it.
