Post by: motobenco on October 18, 2005, 12:56:00 PM
New tires for every race?
Hire Valentino as your Team Challenge Partner?
Show up with a new ZX-RR?
Buy Road America?
Different Track Day each weekend around the world?
100,000 feet of airfence?
Pay everyone's entry fees for a weekend?
Paris Hilton as your umbrella girl?
Let me win?

Build my own multi-track facility... it would be complete with shopping mall in the infield to keep the wife busy!  ;D  She always complains there is nothing to do at the track (guess she doesnt like changing tires  ::) )

Set up an endowment fund for the library I work for and submit my two week notice and be a stay-at-home mom and buy our health insurance myself!

Oh yes, I'll need to blow some cash, too, and become an AMA team owner.  Wait, I already did that once this year!   ;)

I don't know until I actually win, but I know I would not continue in my current occupation.

I would buy a TV station to air all the races on and more stuff with motorcycles. Then, start making my money back from sponsors and advertisers.

Oh yea this too, build a track away from any complaining people and live on it.

Then we can have bands come in and play, booze, build a hotel in the middle of the track with all the goodies; massage parlor, game room, really good food, and hot tubs and a pool. Saturday night dinners with everyone during racing before we see the band or hire a DJ for fun.

My track would also have garages for every single racer that comes (like mini garages), FREE electrical hookups, heat when you're cold, air conditioning when you're hot. Also have a parts shop, welding shop, paint shop, and tire shop. Also free pit bikes for anyone who needs to get around. The money you pay to get in will be worth it (gotta cover some of expenses without draining all my winnings)! You won't want to leave!!

Did I leave anything out?

I better go buy some tickets, eh!  ;D

Suzy....

To supply all that, I think you would need more than 340 million.  However, it is a wonderful idea.

I have 3 close friends who are multi-millionaires.  I'd call them all and tell them how poor they are.

Then I'd go out to lunch with them and stick THEM with the bill! LOL...

Phone calls.

Hi Jeff!  Where's YOUR $340 million?  Oh, you don't have any?  Aww that's too bad.

Hi Ben!  What about you?  Where's YOUR $340 million?  Oh, you don't have any either?  Awww that's too bad.

I guess I'm the only one who has $340 million.  I'm going to build my own race track... and YOU CAN'T COME!

I`d buy Edgar a strip joint. I know this will upset Gygax, but I figure I can give him a million or so to spend at Edgar`s place and he`ll die a happy man! ;D

Yo G,

I figured you'd open a wing at Nashotah Garage; "Tommy's breast augmentation and facial treatment center"

No way! That may ruin my appreciation for the fine work already being offered in southeast WI!!! (Shout out to Dr. Lowenstein! Thanks for the woman`s great boobies!!) And you thought all I wasted money on was racing! HA! ;D

Head back down under permanently. ;D Get myself a few Ford Faclon XR8s and go racing in the Australian V8 Supercar series. ;D Calder Park is fun in a car, I dont know if it would be on a bike.

Well..... For starters just to get my feet wet, I would run the entire AMA series. Maybe two seasons, but the real deal I mean full time mechaincs,promotional and hospitality personal, mY buddy Billy would drive our 18 wheeler and he would get paid a well deserved salary. I would pay off my parents mortgage. Buy myself a nice house in a warm climate. And after a year or two of the stuff in the U.S. I would start looking into maybe the World Superbike Series or GP would be pretty cool too....

First i would call work and tell them to kiss my A$$. Then i would start a superbike racing team and race year round. Buy some real estate, hook up family and friends and build a track designed only for motorcycles....no cars aloud!  ;)

I'd buy double ply bathroom tissue.

I'd get a TV for my bathroom.

I'd buy Grey Goose instead of Popov.

I'd buy a party house very near BHF.

I'd run VP instead of Shell 87.

I'd buy a bike built in this millenia.

I'd stop showing up at work, but not actually quit, just to see how long they'd keep paying me.

I'd pretend like I was poor.

I'd get some new shoes, and some jeans.

I'd register for the whole year on Jan 1st.

I'd buy a thou with heated hand grips, just for RA.

Quit work!  Then I'd split my time between writing, racing endurance with my pals, coaching track days, and of course I'd start an AMA pro team with Dano, Doty, and Jessie as my riders and Super Dave as team manager!
The second year, I'd have to go get a job again....
