Pretty sure it had nothing to do with him getting into Canada but his US visa issues would't allow him back into the US...If he would of gone he would probably still be in Canada...
That certainly is a possibility. However, that is a fairly straightforward explanation. That scenario just doesn't really fit in that he was pretty clear about not being able to talk about it now and the truth will come out later. An immigration issue (not being able to get back into the U.S) is a fairly benign issue. Why would he wait to say that the issue was about not being able to get back in the U.S.?

Additionally, there were conflicting explanations. One explanation was that the issue was familial then another report said it was a visa type problem. It just seems that something is missing in the natural progression of logic.

One piece of speculation that was put forward was that it was legal wrangling that the team had to do. So explaining the miss as "family issues" wouldn't run afoul of whatever those issues were.

It seems clear that it was actually visa issues. Davalos is probably frustrated because he has been muzzled about the situation and he probably wants to tell his side but can't, lest he get his team/Bobby Hewitt in some trouble.

That would make sense. Good insight.

I believe it was Matthes, JT$ and Weege on one of the podcasts.

Canada has some strange rules for entry.. I'm pretty sure that if you ever had a DUI you are not allowed entry into Canada.. NOT, NOT, NOT saying that's the case here, but they do have different rules than here in the states... which certainly could lead some to speculate there may have been some other strange reason..
Maybe if he rode a Poulan he'd have gotten in?
My wife's from Otario Canada. We fly into Buffalo and drive over when we go. They seem to never give a flying shit when we cross over. Hand them our passports, ask where we are going. Hand then right back. Less than 30 seconds. When we come back US customs drills us! So I don't think it's Canada. Tons of Arabs up there now too. Seems like Canada lets anyone in now.

...why is this of such importance to you...
...will it make or break a decision to buy a Husky...Fly..or some Rockstars...
Important? No.

Curious? Yes.

If only there was a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged by people from all over the world. Wait? What?

I'll be upfront with my post and say its speculation rather than substance. I am however a US green card holder, so I've been through the whole (legal immigration) process.

I suspect as you say its a terminology thing based on his fears if he leaves the US he won't get back. I know when I was going through the process I was told returning from Canada is actually harder than coming in on a flight from anywhere.

I would imagine the terms he has his visa under would be under scrutiny, i.e. if he isn't declaring he is there to race motocross as his profession, they may question why he needed to leave the country.

At the end of the day it sucked for him and I am sure he is the most upset about it out of all of us.

At many points during the work permit to visa to green card and green card to us citizen and then foreign passport to us passport, getting back into to the country is non trivial. There are several times during the process it's just a bad idea to travel. Throw in family members at if gets more complex.

Lol at someone actually worried about their immigration status, since 8 million people already live here illegally.

Aren't defending champions allowed to defend their first title?

Do you think he would rather be a champion, or have a 250 ride next year?
Nope.

He wouldn't have been able to defend it.

He makes more in the 250 class than he would in the 450 class even if he won a championship.

Ask Bogle how that has worked out so far.

If it was "family issues", and no one's talking, we can only assume the usual suspects are involved:





Damn super secretive sport. As somebody posted earlier, we are lucky they let us even watch the races.

1. False.

2. Besides 2014 -- and hypothetically 2016 -- when did Marty ever earn135 250SX Championship points in an nine-race season, 120 250SX Championship points in an eight-race season, or 105 250SX Championship points in a seven-race season?

3. How much is he making this year? How much could he make a 450 next year? How do you know that Marty would prefer a 250 ride over a 250 title?

False? Try reading the rule book again.

Here is the section that would exclude him. Doesn't matter how many points he has previously scored.

2. A rider that wins a 250SX Championship will be eligible to participate in the 250SX class for a maximum of three years total regardless of what year he/she won the title. (i.e. if a rider wins the Championship in their third year of 250SX competition, they will be ineligible for the 250SX class regardless of points and therefore not eligible to defend their 250SX Championship title)

He isn't as fast as Bogle and will not make as much money as he does in the 250 class. He tanked the last two races last year for a reason.

Pretty clear what his objective was.

I'm sure he was saying that what Husky said wasn't true. They said he had family issues. Someone screwed up his visa and he couldn't go.

Because He is a cherrypicker, that's hit.
It's like 10 years or more that he is running on the 250 indoor, nobody wants him for a 450 deal....so instead of telling the truth, he supposed that the people is so stupid that they will believe another stupid excuse from him.
He will never win anything, because he can't do it (real reason) and because he is such a cherrypicker that he wouldn't win even if he had a shot with the KTM junior cup.

Poser!

The real reason Davalos didn't race Toronto was because he said he hated Maple Syrup and said the beaver wasn't a real animal..

I always fly outta Buffalo because it's cheaper. I have an easier time getting into the States then I do coming back to Canada. They grill me at Canada customs

Probably over stayed a us visa. He has to leave for one year in order to reapply. He would not get back in. Sure lawyers are working on it, but the guy at the desk in us immigration doesnt five a rats ass if its jesus christ, md or a guy off the street.
