The 'spark plug' bit is a running joke with Steve Mathes. He says that the factory teams always say the spark plug failed other than actually reveal what broke in the motors.

Pretty funny actually.


Some reporter should find out - follow up with what brand of plug it was and post it...I bet the team would get new "reply" orders real quickly. It's easy enough to find out what exactly happened, but it would be off the record and not postable. It would be nice if the teams had real honest news releases....

Georke is impressing the hell out of me. He should have been on the 450 all season.

I talked to him after the race and he looked like he wanted to cry. Just can't catch a break!! I told him to keep his head up and come out swinging at Steel City!

Really nice kid who trains hard and has his program together. Sooner than later he will make a impact!

I hope a 450 team picks him up full time....maybe he is right now, but I'm not sure. He is on the edge of doing some amazing things.

No discredit cause the kid is killing it but its just testiment to how STACKED the lites class is. Every time a lites guy moves up they do great, Hahn, Dungey, Hepler, Gerk, Grant, Hill, etc.
The powers that be need to work out an advancement system that lines up the best riders in ONE PREMIER CLASS. Imagine a moto with the top 10 or 15 from each class are all lined up instead of 10 in the lites and 10 in the mx class.

He's impressed me the last few nationals. I noticed that he was not on the KTM lites team next year. Maybe he will be on the 450 for KTM.
