MotoX racing is much more expensive than just riding, of course. To race, here is a list of expenses. I live in the Midwest, and am giving averages. 1. Gear (buying gear right now is a great time, as 2005 gear is on close-out at many retailers) For jersey, pants, helmet, goggles, boots, gloves, chest protector...the average is $450-$600+. If you are committed to the sport, spend the extra money for good boots. 2. The bike (too many types to give an estimate here) Along with the bike, you need a bike stand. Five gallon buckets turned upside down are great, and cheap. 3.AMA card $39 Sanctioned races require you to have an AMA membership. You can purchase the membership at your first race. Your card will be mailed to you. This is an annual fee. 4. District card. The country is divided into districts. Here, in district 16, a card is $15 annually. 5. Per race registration is $20. Special events like Arenacross are more. 6. Tracks will charge you to get in the gate even if you race. The average is $7-10 (plus camping fee of $5-$10 at most tracks if you spend the night before race day) 7. gas. With gas prices what they are, obviously this needs to be in any racer's budget. 8. bike maintance. This varies greatly. Upkeep and maintance are major expenses. Overall, Motocross is not a cheap sport. Here are some of my suggestions for cutting costs. If you are a newbie to the sport, and visit your local motocross supply store, be bold and ask for a discount. The mark-up is outrageous and most privately owned dealers will give customers a minimum of 10% off before you even prove your racing ability to them. If you are talented, and place well overall in a series, seek more substancial sponsorship. Many tracks will offer cash payment, or free or reduced race fees to racers who help out on race day. You may flag, water the track, or score, and you will be compensated in some way. If you have a parent or spouse who helps, they will be compensated also. It will most likely be a free or ruduced race fee for you. Pack your own food...always. Make friends at the track, and try to travel together to share expenses. Hope this helps. Good Luck!! hello i just have somthing to add the best website i found for looking up gear was www.denniskirk.com... i got all my gear for under 200 dollars..i have a monster energy kx 100 2002...i only got it for 1500..pre raced..it runs like a top..its good to find deals like that.

At a local level, entry fees should be around $20-$25, with pro class being a bit more. Just starting out, you don't have to join the AMA, but as you advance in class some tracks may require that you become an AMA member. Your expense in racing isn't the entry fees as much as the maintenance and upkeep on the bike, gas for bikes and for your vehicle driving to the races, equipment, parts, etc.

Depends on if your asking about local or national events and amateur or pro classes. Your entry fee for local amateur classes can be as cheap as $20. Check with your local shops, they should have fliers from local tracks.

Motocross is REALLY expensive, especially when you're not sponsored. The good equipment costs a good penny. My boots alone cost $180- and that is on sale. Also you need to think of the bike, it's maintenance. and the traveling expenses. I also heard it's not cheap to enter races. And if you get hurt? WHEW, there goes a lot of money.

If you are a pro rider with sponsors and win, then you will make alot of money. If you ride a crappy bike, live in a trailer and cant ride, then you will not make as much money.
