The only way your going to make any money with a stock motored bike is bracket racing and you have to be on your game to win that and its also not very much money. Now if you had a big ganster motor or turbo you could do some grudge racing and make or possibly loose thousands of dollars a race.

Ditto on that!!!The only way your going to make any money with a stock motored bike is bracket racing and you have to be on your game to win that and its also not very much money.

The only way to make money in bike racing is GRUDGE racing or if you weigh 130 #'s or less and run NHRA Prostock.
are you turbo'd or anything. 700 bucs would be nice
You dont have to run insane times to win money bracket racing. If you can run on your dial(which is very difficult to do), you are then very hard to beat.This my friend takes practice!!!!But, if you can run your dial, or within the specified breakout allowance if there is one, and you can cut a descent light, then that makes you very difficult to beat!!! The name of the game in bracket racing is consistentcy, you can have the slowest bike out there, but if you can run the same time every pass,and you know you can run the same time every pass, then this makes you 90% of the time the man to beat.:

Another option: Street racing....However I dont recommend this route.Having said that,If you can consistently leave the line before your opponent, and you can get your bike to hook,he'll have to run you down....alot of times guys will break traction trying to catch up on someone that left on em....Bare in mind, most states, if they catch you street racing, will sieze your bike,possible jail time,and some serious points on your license if you're convicted as charged. Can you say out of this world insurance premiums?

I think St Louis pays $500 every week for their bike bracket class. Not far from you, either.
Yeah i just found out about ET racing and i think its the thing for me only 30 bucks to enter too.
As far as street racing i've seen it too. not willing to try it because the street they race on has so many damn pot holes and grates missing. Have heared of several people being killed because their bikes bottomed out and their straps broke. The extending of the forks threw them off and that's all she wrote. Called Hall Street in STL. Also i were to do that i'd get my engine bored so everyone would think i was running a stock bike. Called hustlin

If you can become a good bracket racer it will be hard to defeat you...And as mention it's not the fastest bike but the most consistent time...If you search there's money to be made without the big pots or straight up grudge racing...On test and tune you could set up a small grudge race maybe a benjamin or so...Before you know it your loot has grown...You dont have to run insane times to win money bracket racing.

Street racing is too dangerous...Although we have all done it...The only advice I can give on it is that it has to been on a well maintained and isolate street...We've got a few of those here that we call "Trick Alleys" we race and practice on those...
I used to make a killing at the track bracket racing. as long as you are consistent the money is there. i ran a gsxr600. dialed in 11.0.... always run the big bikes, 9 secs or less. you leave first they have to catch you and beat you without breaking their dial in. that is unbelievably hard to do! trust me i lost a race last year to a girl running a 13.6 in the 1/4 mile. i sprayed a 30 shot and she still beat me!
