Thanks for the report. I think it's awesome what you are doing. I respect that you come on here,with your own name and give us insight into your trials and tribulations. I personally hate having to explain myself and if some guy in Beverly Hills was counting my pennies and judging me I'd be a little upset. That's why I won't ever put a two stroke in a national. You sir on the other hand probably will.
Thank you! Not upset one bit.
We're a team that's 3 races old and growing fast from every aspect.
There's always some haters, we've grown to love them. Fuel for the fire!

Why was the "TSM team" parked outside the Pro pits at Budds?

Officials at High Point told us not to expect a good spot at other races, they weren't lying. Overflow lot for us. Not sure who made that call.

I haven't posted a lot lately but this got to me a bit.

Every team has it's issues and growing pains. Most don't open the kimonos on message boards to open themselves up to critique...but this team has.

I admire what they are doing, true privateers which was what this sport was built on.

Not to mention the brap.

Soldier on man.

Bang Bang needs to get a life. Charles is doing a great job with the time that he has had to put everything together. I don't see anyone else trying to accomplish the same idea that he came up with and make it happen in such a short time. Keep your head high Charles. Just take pleasure in knowing that you are the only one that is making TwoStroke fans happy by putting together a team and getting them to the races so that everyone can hear that sound and smell the premix!

X2 Noob! Charles is making something happen for 2-stroke fans, not just sitting on the sidelines. The effort will pay off, and already is. People get immediately get excited about a 2-stroke racing. TSM is a hero.

Nope, just done arguing with a liar Wink

If he was doing a good job, you'd think he would have made more than 1 lap of a moto in his 3 races.

2 strokes are not as big of a handicap as people think, see Marshall.

Go back to your privelaged life you whiney little bitch. I am sure you wear beanies when it is 70 degrees out, have some sick sleeve tats, and some badass black socks. You are from So Cal so you must know what you are talking about. In reality though, you just sound like a spoiled little rich kid. Do you think Scotile, kraft, Smith, Marshall, Laporte would of had other teams knocking the door down to give them a ride? Grow the fuck up mate.

I asked the question - why are all these guys walking away from this team? He answered with first hand knowledge. Blame me for asking the loaded question, don't blame him for the answer.

Maybe TSM should just hire Mike Fisher or Eric Kehoe to manage the team. They could also hire IT9 to put it in the top 20 at every round. Shit, that'd only take about $1-1.5m to do it right...

I'll start the PayPal account!

So, can you just explain to everyone why Kraft and Nathan didn't have a bike to ride for the week before Budds? Thanks.

Seems to be some issues for sure, but at the same time, one have to start from somewhere? Keep going, prove people wrong.

Only Marshall has qualified so far this season, at Budds. he fell a couple laps in and came out with a hurt shoulder.

Since then, the riders have been getting top 15's in the LCQ. They're getting better every time.
