Back in 2003 I had a buddy who raced a class at a Podunk fair race in northern MN. A jackass mini dad who's kid wasn't even racing at the time decided he wanted to show just how much authority he had and ratted him out to the promoter. Joey said ok fuck you guys. Went out and won his first a class moto with a gate full of guys of which at least 15 of them he shouldn't of and would never beat again. Pulled the start and yarded them. It was epic and I will never forget that day!

The real question is....How will the AMA and or Coomb's handle the obvious situation we have here with what looks to be real proof of a violation of rules. Will Axell be allowed to continue to race the B class as it gets swept under the gate or will someone step up and actually apply the rules to everyone in a professional manner?
I suspect it will be just like last year where it was brought up that he had rode in a higher class then rode AMA C and nothing was done.

Maybe he doesn't want to be Ricky Carmichael, and instead wants to be Kevin Walker.

Yep, and if he really wants to pull a Walker, he can borrow his bro's cam...

Allow me to take a guess here.....

The Day in The Dirt is not a sanctioned AMA event and therefore will not be counted as having raced an AMA Expert class.

The GNC International Final is not sanctioned by the AMA but I'm pretty sure you can't get away with racing A class at Oak Hill and B class at LL's.

I am not saying it is right.......just taking a guess based on past issues of this type.

It also states in the National Advancement system the following:

5. Riders who participate in a higher-level classification at
any AMA or non-AMA track will be considered as
advanced to that classification.

So clearly this would automatically make him ineligible for the B class in this years racing. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you are absolutely correct, let's see if that is actually applied.

Axell Hodges, Larry Brooks JR, and Ryder DiFrancesco are going to be running 250W next year on the new L&McKranyak team aboard KTMVarna 125(44)s, with Green Rocket (Rocket + Team Green) carbon silencers. The semi is parked in La Habra, in a lot. I seen't it being preperated.
