I have been racing for years, now that I'm in the Pro class I am no where close to be able to afford to race on my own any more and have no outside support. But next year I do plan on racing a few nationals just to prove to my self I did it. I raced a few rounds of the Ams Oil AX series on Team Dirtbike Mike last seaon. I live up in New England and moving sounds like a great deal to me! Eventually I do want to start helping riders and support them at Amature Nations or Pro Nationals. With that said, I'm ready for something new! Dose anyone have some info on some moto related jobs around the country? I have a Class A CDL, I'm 21 and I can do general bike maintenance. I can throw throw some whips, and I just love the sport. Please give me some info! I'm down to do anything!

At 21 and willing to work hard he can do whatever he decides to do for a living.
Sorry, pet hate.
If you are saying "I'm going to do this until I'm 30, not settle down, no kids, just live the dream"....then by all means, go get it.
But if kids and a wife are in your 10 year plan, PLEASE go elsewhere.
I've worked in the industry, and all I will say is you aren't gonna get rich. You are going to work your ass off for little pay because it's a passion industry. You will be expected to do more than most for less than all, all the while you will be reminded you should be thankful for your job because 1,000 other people are awaiting your failure so they can take your spot.
Take it from a guy that's been there...it's awesome, it's just not as awesome as it looks.
Best of luck,

I think you need to take advantage of your CDL. You should contact and send your resume to EVERYONE in the industry including Feld and any other series promoter. Your resume should show the history of your racing career and pinpoint your work ethic and dedication. Your cover letter should request a job driving a truck. This could possibly get you in the door. You must be willing to relocate.
If you have no success hearing from anyone after 4-6 months, then I would apply for a job using your CDL in the heart of the industry. Move and start working in southern California. I would then hand-deliver my resume to everyone there again. I would work full-time and continue to aggressively network. If you work hard enough and are passionate about the industry, you will see opportunities open up. If after a couple of years nothing happens then you can live the rest of your life knowing that you did everything you could.
Good luck!
