How much can I make?

[Team-G]

You must be single and no kids, eh Dave?  ;)

I have a 6 yr old with his eyes on the prize already...gets me thinking, how much faster and how much technology change will occur between now and when he's 14?  Will the LW class bikes for entry age racers be faster than my 750 is now?

[tshort]

Simple math:

Cost per weekend (LW): $800-1000 - tires, fees, travel
Contingency payout: 1st place/tires: $100/race; vortex and all the rest: $200 (maybe).
Winning your first race: Priceless.

Contigency will buy you and your buddies a brat, a beer, and maybe some more tires.  For everything else there's Mastercard (tm).  8)

What do you think will change?  Fastest 600 times at Blackhawk in 1993 were high 14's.  In 2001, they were mid 13's.  Same track.
