If the US send AP, ET & JB, Puerto Rico sound send: AMart, Baggett & Anderson. That'll be a podium contender!

Osborne - 450?
I think he has already raced for team PC in the past, so does Amart if I remember well, which could make it possible.

If so, add a 3rd good one and it makes another legit team for a win or podium !

EDIT, Osborne at RedBud on a 450 and at the MXdN would be something to watch for sure !

" 8. The new Phoenix racing team recently acquired the old JGR test facility and is planning on going big in 2019. They also bought the Babbitts semi which was Reed’s Two-Two rig before that. "

What's the scoop on this? I hadn't heard anything about it , and was curious what it's all about. Does this team have factory backing? Or does anyone know what brand they tend to plan on racing with?
Duane (Brown) told me they have factory Honda backing and some of the old Ti-lube guys just that Ti-lube pulled out after AX.

They are expecting roughly 100,000 people for the MXoN at Redbud, which is crazy. Any rider that wouldn't want to be a part of that is crazy - either US or PR team.

Just passing along what I was told they were preparing the property for - ~100,000 people to attend. Hope it happens. I know that's a crazy number. Would be cool if it happens.

If Indonesia had 47,000 people, they better prepare for 4.7 million people. Laughing

I've been surprised at the lack of chatter with this new team.

I've said it before but i think these "support" teams in the 450 class is something we desperately need in the sport. There are so many more available spots and teams in the 250 class, we need more landing spots for guys that move up.

Good to see them stepping up in a big way. I know one of the Phoenix owners and he's well connected in the business aspect of the motorcycle industry as well as getting corporate sponsors. Hopefully they can attract decent sponsor $ and the riders will follow.

Yep. Sorry.
Even the AMA guy said Tuesday, but guy B said yesterday that there has been another delay.
Either way, it will be out soon.
Still got over 5 months until A1, so a few days or weeks isn’t going to matter.

You have to remember who is behind the des nations. The attendance numbers they will quote will be massively inflated, ticket prices twice what a national costs (check) and you won’t be able to bring in your own beer. It’s gonna be a different red bud for sure

I’ve not seen it YET. But you haven’t been able to at the other host countries. In the U.K. last year they were making people open water bottles to sniff them

Yeah I don't see that happening here, I went to Budds and Thunder Valley and alcohol was permitted at both.

If they do ban beer it's going to be into the race itself. You'll still be fine with whatever out in the lot.

I would guess it had to do with attendence, this year it wasn't the most packed race, mostly because there was some much going on in the city that day(Giant parades for St. Patrick's day, Hockey Game, etc). Hopefully it's not true though, I love the yearly trip for the race, St. Louis really is a neat city.

I'd plan on a Nashville trip instead of STL this year..

Some tracks you can bring in your own beer and some you can't I guess? I've only been to one venue so what do I know?
