It's obvious Chad is doing whatever he can to earn back some of the money he blew running his own team.

8th-12th would be a good ride although I think matterly will suit him.

Will be amazing to have him ride GP's fair play got some balls for stepping up to the challenge

Probably because he was busy racing round 2 of the US nationals at Glen Helen on that weekend.

I hope he does the USGP's too. Depending which AMA riders show up he could legitimately win the Charlotte motor speedway since its gonna be SX syle (I think?) Glen Helen he could possibly crack top 5.

Hopefully he can get a decent result, if so will we see him at a few more GP's? Would make sense for him to do glen Helen and Charlotte aswel later on in season

Damn, it would be so cool to go to Matterley and watch the GP with Chad racing.

Is it easy/smooth to travel from London to Southampton with the train?

He could ride around in last place and everyone would still be pumped for him.

He could probably roll around and throw whips and nac nacs and the crowd would go crazy!

WTF? There is no way he can win at Charlotte and he will be lucky to be top 10 at Glen Helen. I like the guy but he is at the twilight of his career and generally finishes 8-15 outdoors. I wish him well and admire his will to step up and race

Yeah well Southampton is really close to Winchester, so i thought it would be a bit smoother to get from London to Southampton?

Well i'll have to speak with my family about a possible trip to the Matterley GP!

Edit: It's actually only 16 minutes from Southampton to Winchester with the train!

Yeah, it's a doddle!

Southampton is on the main line from London, along with Winchester which three stops before (depending which service you're on etc).

Sorry for striking a cord dudes. It was my opinion. I base it off of my feelings on the issue.
