Jett is still only 15 hence still amatuer as cant race ama pro till 16 I heard he was wanting to race 3 of the ama races that the new rule allows 250 A or 250 pro amateurs riders to step up for 3 rounds but can still stay amatuer as the kid would have loved to do ww ranch south wick etc all sand but he wasn’t allowed cause of his age where Jo is 17 so he can go full pro after Loretta’s with Geico same with pierce brown (TLD ktm ) he did ww ranch round too under that rule . I think if jett was allowed that family would put him in pro as they put him in Emx 250 at 14 years just like Roczen and Jett even won a round .people think he is older than what he is ....don’t think there’s many 15 yr olds racing the A class at Loretta’s most 15/16 still in super mini like max vohland and Jett is just younger than him .But no surprising he is fast if he chases Hunter around .oh and hate hearing news of these riders getting injured especially when it’s not their fault ,it’s the shit part of our sport .
I know for a fact Jett turns 16 in August, so maybe he can do some later nationals?

Seems like a full house over at Geico, they probably don’t want him going pro next season. Jett would look good on a pro circuit Kawasaki

I hate hearing about motors randomly locking up. That shits scary.
I remember Stewart's Kawi engine grenaded at full speed over a jump at Southwick . I always thought how ugly and scary that crash was.

I was thinking about that yesterday.. They cancelled a practice and they had one 20 minute practice, his best laptime in practice was 2.07 so at most he had 10 laps (obviously not 10 though) to learn a track he's never been to
(I could be mistaken about that)

Then won the moto! That's pretty crazy
And people were wondering how why he ran off the track first lap.....

This kid is a class act and a hell of a rider, hate to see him out. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this ripper. Sucks because he has been in some of the best battles this year.

He never gives up. Good kid, I'm pretty sure he would have finished 3 OA this year which is way higher than a lot of people thought he would finish.

ML didn’t you say on pulp that they were doing a couple days of testing to try and find a little more HP? Bummer deal, this sport is tough.

It was the connecting rod that failed. Shocked they would run those 100 hours.

Standard PR talk.. They wont run 100 hours on any part of their top race bikes.

Two 15(?) minute practises and two 35min races is less than two hours run time per national.

Standard PR talk is “Something broke in the motor. Total fluke!”

He was at least openly transparent this time about what part was actually compromised. We rarely, if ever, get that much.

I really do believe him when he said it’s a part they run for 100 hours, which is very surprising. Conrods rarely go bad but 100 hours!? That just seems crazy.
