Definitely interesting read. I just read a RacerX article with Weston Peick talking about his move to RCH. They talked money and he basically just made it sound like he was only making enough to pay for racing expenses and maybe slightly live on the comfortable side. That's not factoring in if something freakish happened like stolen trailer w/ bikes inside.
I'm good friends with one of the top 10 AMA 250 East riders and I know he's not hurting with the smaller purses.
I think it boils down to sponsors. Making good results happen will just get you to the next level to start REALLY making the big bucks.
