Sounds like Wil Hahn is one hell of a good manager if you ask me. I would protest fuel, check everything with a ton of money on the line, it’s his job and the AMA’s job to keep things in toe. You guys don’t like Bill Belichick either but he won championships for being sharp and teetering the edge of the line on rules. #creativethinking
Cool story, but Bobby Regan (owner) and Brad Hoffman run the team. Wilbur was hired to work with the riders and do some bike development. He does what he is told to do. He 100% was not behind the fuel protest.

Well Donny... the Star team owner may know a thing or two about race fuels. He used an engine consultant that Yamaha uses. Same guy some F1 and Nascar teams use. And that consultant has worked with almost all the fuel companies DEVELOPING their race fuels on his dyno. His personal built dyno, with more data points then any dyno folks can simply purchase was used to develop these fuels.

So they may know something... But well, they did get beat (star) and it's a sore loser mover IMO. )
He may or may not but they both use the exact same fuel that's supplied by VP....what he does on his dyno is irrelevant....

So by your wisdom, Mitch hiring Drino Miller (RIP) back in the day should mean he knows just as much as Bobby Regan. Why didn't Mitch protest GEICO in SLC?

Some people just love calling shit out on people who actually know more of what's going on in this sport than they know.

How can the team being protested test their own fuel? Is there like some "chain of command" as would be with police evidence. That doesn't make sense. How would you know what fuel they tested. Maybe the AMA should allow the teams to test their riders for PED's as well. "Nope, everyone tested clean".
Please use the thing at the top of your head, they would want their own test in case the AMA test came back wrong....it makes perfect sense for them to do that

He was also a proven cheater multiple times. You forgot that part.

Why does anyone care about fuel testing? I’m not understanding this thread. Tear downs happen all the time in racing.. oxygenates like nitro propane exist. #jeffemig

When you hear chase compliment an opposing teams (pc kawi’s) professionalism on and off the track it only solidified how pathetic star is.

Taking a front wheel out at the last round is no longer the last ditch effort.

Chase is the real deal. I believe he will be a legit contender after his learning curve.

Page 10 but at what cost...

I still think Star wins the 250 nationals this year if we have em, and people will most likely forget about this. I think the JMart thing was worse than what they did in SLC, personally.

I still find it strange that both Martin’s bikes blew up at high point. I was there and couldn’t believe it.

Are results unofficial until the AMA test comes back?
I mean Chase was handed the #1 plate, would his Championship check be also on hold.
