Economic impact calculator

What do motocross tracks mean to a state's economy? Start from the verified number of tracks, adjust the assumptions, and make the case. This is the argument that moves legislators.

12 verified tracks in our database. This is a confirmed subset from fullthrottle.mx, not every track in the state is represented. This number is real and not adjustable; everything below is an assumption you control.

These are estimates built from 12 verified tracks and the adjustable assumptions above. Jobs and riders-per-track are illustrative; the multiplier and tax rate are from published studies.

This calculator is an advocacy tool, not an appraisal. Verified track counts are real; all other figures are estimates from the cited public sources, adjustable above. A state-specific economic study will always be more precise.

2
Find Sponsor
Identify and approach a bill sponsor with intro letters and target-legislator criteria.
3
Build Coalition
Rally track owners, dealers, riders, and associations in-state.
4
Draft Bill
Fork the proven model bill and localize it to the state's statutory structure.
5
Economic Case
Document jobs, tax revenue, tourism, and dealer sales. This is the argument that moves legislators.
