I swear I saw him in the Live Results leading a moto. Didn't he just race a National or two? If so, how is he still eligible for LL? Just wondering, as I don't know the rules.

It is for sure Vann Martin. Jeremy is out with a shoulder injury. I don't know how the rules work for something like this though. He was qualified for LL's but decided to make the jump to the pros early. I guess he felt he wasn't ready or that he would find a ride after a great week at the ranch.

Yes he raced the Freestone National but did not score a point so he was still eligible. He did great at Freestone, I believe he had a 21 maybe??

The new rule that says if you've qualified for the fast 40 at a national you can only race Pro Sport starts next year.

But your memory is not failing, Vann Martin has qualified for at least 1 national this year. He went 27-21 at Freestone, I haven't kept track of him since.

Vann won a 450A moto yesterday. He raced Freestone, but did not score points. I think he went 21 & 27, which is not good for any Natl points. Once you score points, you are inelgible as an Amateur.
