In the RacerX Rapid ReaXtion Mathes mentions another team that is having trouble, no one getting paid.

Any ideas or insight on who? This is not good for the sport.

Just a guess but I think it's moto concepts the owner is sponsoring the team with his hottub cover company. Just a guess

hmmm, I'd think Genova is ok... They seem to have a lot of other sponsors too and Genova has said his business is pretty solid... There are a few newer teams that might be more in it...

Are Baker and Cunningham on the same team? I thought one rode for Star, the other for Valli...one of those two teams would be my guess as the next to fold.

Kinda harsh to be predicting a business failure, but what I say has no effect on the outcome. Sort of like a deathpool for sx teams.

Isn't TwoTwo without a title sponsor after Bel-Ray failed to return? Just pure speculation, but I can't imagine TwoTwo being able to make a profit in this climate.

You don't think that any race team actually makes a profit do you?

Velocity3 would have been my guess. On a seperate deal though, what about the Kranyak team? I'm sure everyone is getting paid but.......Hanny is the lone rider and we've yet to see him in a main. If you were footing that bill, you'd have to ask yourself where your money was going, wouldn't you? How long is that deal going to last? Hanny better start making some mains me thinks.

I can't claim to know the financial details for a gigantic corporation like Honda, but something tells me that if they didn't see money in this sport they wouldn't be sinking funds into it. There is just not room for financially disinterested generosity, as far as I understand things.

That being said, I wouldn't surprised if most teams lost money.

It is bullshit people bringing up names when they have no clue. If you don't know....keep you fuckin mouth shut. You got guys like Genova and Lanza putting in their own dollars in the sport and creating jobs for racers and all the other people to run a team.These are top notch race efforts. Fuck you people.

Didn't the Star guys lose Rockstar as their title sponsor? That's my guess. I sure hope it isn't the Velocity3 guys.

I thought Team Buffalo Fart was doing good. Bobby Baloneyslice has had some killer runs this year.
