Of this list who is actually working in the industry?
Burch - employee of Xray still?
Cyrul - NavistarI think
Hardman - ?
Haynes - ?
Hebert - ?
Hohwart - works at/for Associated
Knudtson - ?
Lemieux - For sure not a full time paid Pro
Runs Gravity RC on the side.
Lia - ?
Wang - College kid :P

With all that said, who knows if Paulie wants to be a full time Pro and paid to travel/race. Just pointing out the big gap between on and offroad Pros. Of course a lot of people on this list run both on/offroad so there's a difference to note there also.
