The need help is directed towards sponsors helping him since he's putting a bike in the main and someone's logo would look pretty nice being out there with the worlds fastest 22 racers.

He isn't saying Hey Jeff_Crutcher, give me your paycheck

Surprised to read this by Crutcher... usually a relative voice of reason. Everything ok?

My response to this thread:

“Hoodie, where do I send a check to help you & Cole get to the next race?”

When you have the ability to put your motorcycle on national TV and global networks all available ad space is “for sale”. Advertise for no one for free...

If you allow them to take advantage of you, they will. It’s all about, how much are you willing to give!

"YOUR LOGO HERE" will take up more real estate and will need to be printed in smaller font than "NEED HELP" - the man is not only fast but also smart.

Jeff, we also grew up racing a lot of the same tracks with mutual friends etc. I know your intent isn’t malicious towards this dude. Just throwing that out so people don’t think you’re being a dick.

I think anyone that's been here long enough knows Jeff's a good dude. He just saw it a little different than some.

Understood. Then be very same size and space to say “logos here”. It’s all the same nesssge but a little more upscale than wording on a cardboard sign at the intersection. Which I think is what the op was

I wrote this before lunch and admittedly was hangry. I should probably just stick to my quips and all premix related posts.

If Cole pops in with a paypal or Venmo link I’ll drop a Jackson.

Okay, here we go. Here's a perfect example. "Rick" was friends with a very wealthy man who was a fan of motorsports. The very wealthy man (won't say his name on here) had a lot of property and decided to build a Supercross track by Marc Peters. Fast forward a few months and Rick was the team manager for a team called Welfare Racing, basically a privately funded team by a guy who loves racing and had a big wallet. Apparently people didn't approve of the name and found it offending, so it was changed to "Wyvern Motorsports" (aka Wyvern Ranch nowadays). The team included a few privateers who couldn't afford to travel the circuit and Wyvern provided a big rig that transported bikes to each event and had mechanics and a test track.

Picture this... imagine a fan of racing scrolling through the pits with a buttload of cash and sees a Suzuki with a big FMF sticker on the shroud. Sure, the rider might get a free pipe from FMF, but are they paying for his bikes? Probably not... if this rich guy sees "NEED HELP" on the shroud, he might talk to Cole, decide to help him out, and boom there you go. or how about this, an aspiring mechanic is in the pits and sees that, asks Cole if he has a practice mechanic, he says no, boom! he's at the track on Monday helping Cole do motos... fast forward a few months and he might have a full time gig as a mechanic.

I think Jeff Crutcher was looking too deeply into this topic, and excuse my grammar or punctuation I don't really care if I misspelled anything.

Jeff, aren't you the same person who was calling Corey White and not only threatening him, but making personal attack on him for calling out one of your good friends for pulling this exact stunt? Does this post only go for people that you don't know? It's bullying and disrespectful that someone would call your buddies out that can't even make the LCQ but if it's someone you don't know, you're all for it? Grow the fuck up and take a look in the mirror you emo loser, Least Cole can make mains.
