OH no , that's awful . Go back to the yellow and black .
 
Deegan is still so young , I think he's a natural myself and If you haven't seen the YouTube Vid about the Deegan's you should .

Chase is the only obvious choice for 450/Open. For the second guy it gets real difficult to figure.

AP has the heart, and I'd think the desire, but not the speed. I'd think his background would suit him well in a sloppy Euro track, but it's a gut instinct and maybe not accurate? His attitude will only get him so far, but maybe Roger sees something in him?
It's been nice to see El Hombre pick up speed, but I have doubts he'd want to do it. He's starting to sounds like a guy ready to bail.
AC9: Speed, but no confidence or stamina.

So, who's left with the speed and desire?

Sadly... I got nuttun :doh:
 
Dam, I hate no-race weekends..
Gonna go to Altus and shoot long distance. Trying out some Berger hybrids we've been working on. Looks promising so far out to 600 yds, but we'll run 'em out to 1100 today. Hopefully get to shoot the 600 yd mover sections

It will be hotter than 10 hells out there.. Ugh
 
My buddy Heath got 1rst in 25+ Jr and 6th in the 450 Pro Sport at Lorretta's this past weekend. He said Daxton Bennett was crushing it!
I think Bennett won everything he entered! Didn't he ride the last National?
Heath got 2nd in the 3rd 450PS Moto, but got 11th and 10th in the first two so it rough to start with but better in the end.

Colt Nichols signs with Beta for 450SX, 2024 & 2025.

That will be interesting to see how they have developed, I haven't seen anything on the bike yet. I kinda felt bad for Colt at Honda, He kinda got the worst time to be on the HRC team with Sexton and Lawrence, but he never made excuses, you gotta respect that.

All the best to them. If Triumph gets their program going it'll be quite a large field of brands, even if you consolidate the Austrians.
I'd think Colt knew he was keeping a seat warm, but not a bad temp gig for a season. Hopefully it works out for him.

Hey, Bennick also won the AMA Nicky Hayden Horizon award (which sounds kinda weird to me in MX context). Will Deegan be looking over his shoulder? :p:ROFLMAO:

:LOL: :LOL:
Hey I would welcome that! Anything that makes the racing tighter and better is a plus for me, I hate boring racing
We need a group of youngsters that can hopefully get in there and stop the Lawrence brothers from making the whole thing a snore-fest..
Well, that plus an EPIC come back from Eli !! I really hope Eli comes in and at least wins a bunch of motos and it goes all the way to the last round. Jett's gonna be the man soon enough (he already is) but I'd love to see Eli retire on a winning season.
I think his contract at this point is for SX only next year, I just can't see him not riding the Nationals if he has a great SX season.
I think its gonna be a good year next year. Oh, and supposedly Ducati will be there for SX in 2024 too, but Ive seen nothing on that whole program.

I did see some spy footage of the Triumph on an MX track with a French GP guy riding it, cant remember his name, it was all blacked out so you couldn't tell what it was, but that thing did not sound like a 250 at all. It sounded like it had some big fat gnarly balls off the bottom, so Im excited to see it get in there. I actually hope it gets top 3 or even at least hole shots its first race but I know that's unlikely. It sure would stir everything up in a huge way though! I don't know who the rider will be yet, but if they can just establish that its fast and solid, they should generate some interest from some fast guys

Looks like he's in. I'm sure he's extra motivated for a home race, but I hope he doesn't get too stupid and go Bam Bam.

I’m hoping he goes bam bam!! The 450’s need some fresh chaos right now.
 
The 450s need some more competition, not torpedos. I can get those at the shop where I get my F-15s and nukes.....
