I know nothing about this, but think I know some of the questions. USAC will want a team membership and have rules. I'd share some bloody marys with someone who's got a team and pick his brain especially about how his accountant handles it. Maybe talk to the guy with a race car parked out front of his muffler shop about his accountant's approach. I'd also make sure that the team budget was sufficient to put it's owner/manager on a suitable bike for each course being raced that season and deducted from the company's advertising budget.
