🤑 Do you make Money for Owning a Factory Race Team??

Troy Lee speaks on owning the Factory Gas Gas Race Team and the financial hurdles they have to face each year.
//
Troy Lee is one of the most iconic and influential names in racing period. From the humble beginnings painting helmets in his family garage to being the only gear and apparel company to own a Supercross and Motocross team (and a factory team at that). He has painted helmets for every legend in every form of motorsport - Jeff Ward in Motocross, Supercross and Indy Car, Jeremy McGrath, Scott Dixon and many many more. This was a brilliant episode of Gypsy Tales and a fitting guest for Chapter 300 of the podcast!

troy is the best, i am one of the lucky guys that got helmets painted with him early on thanks to Mitch , before he was huge, and he hasn't changed a bit, always listened to what i wanted and always made it better and cooler than i asked for, and so sincere,

[@michaelshepherd8299]

I love TL mtb helmets and clothing.

The TAX man is listing.

[@Carnage540]

funny how all these big companies always just break even or don't make any money, yet the owner rolls in with a supercar and living life in a mansion worth millions.. My guy not breaking even means you don't have shit!

[@haydenb364]

@carnage540 in case the point was missed, he's talking specifically about the race team breaking even. That's only one piece of Troy Lee Designs operations

[@OtisFlint]

@@haydenb364 This. He didn't say he doesn't make money, he said his race team doesn't make money.

[@Carnage540]

@@haydenb364yeah i jumped too quick on that one.. makes sense

[@mikeandrews1899]

He said he tries to break even in the race team 🤷‍♂️

[@mikeandrews1899]

You do understand that all these tax exempt non-profit organizations actually make a profit .... 🤷‍♂️.

Gloves with no plastics. How to do the pro riders take rocks to the fingers???

[@kirboturbo6932]

I guess that's why they use guards at nationals with the big rocks

[@Tybren]

Like men

[@keepwalkn]

@@Tybrenhahhahahaha that was my exact reply

[@Joelontugs]

They say to make a million with a race team you gotta start out with 10 million lol

[@rfair123]

[@fury-cd9wr]

Damn no comments?

[@adammonten3209]

Pretty dumb to believe that a company man will reveal the truth about profits on a podcast. Waste of questions to ask when the answers are probably not true

[@paulmcgrath3159]

Damn one comment?
