So the riders will have to get tested twice each week and pay feld for the test out of their own pocket.

yes, you read that correctly. Bummer deal for the privateers. But gotta do what you gotta do to get that paycheck if you want to race dirt bikes right now. Feld's bottom line surely cant handle the extra cost on them.

Well, at least once a week. If you test Saturday morning, it should be good through the next Saturday you would think. Maybe not, though. If it works out that they allow that, then on the "tripleheader" rounds (Sat-Tues-Sat) it would work out to $25 per race.

Should be paid by the promoter, though....

Unfortunately not.

How will they know or track people daily?

Test clean thursday, and come saturday, how do they know or what does the team member show that they have been cleared? Wristband? Forehead tattoo?

My only concern with this would be a false positive. Are the test results immediate or sent to a lab? Can you retest to confirm a positive? Look what happened to Jimmy Johnson this summer.

Exactly. Elon Musk had the test done 4 times in 1 day with only a 50% accuracy.

And this was done last month...

That paycheck you’re talking about for a privateer, if everything goes well and they make the night show, its a $750 check. So say they end up having to pay for 10 tests throughout the season, one full events payout will have gone right back to the people who paid them. Definitely a bummer...

Oh ya for sure. I definitely got all the math and how it works. Its a tough deal for sure. Do you have a chiropractor or massage person back home? Maybe they would be inclined to sponsor the test cost for 1 or 2 or the season? If the person believes in the testing they may be inclined to help you out and pay for it (sponsor knows what they are paying for). Just an idea. Some people have great relationships with these type of people.

I would guess they give everyone something like a badge/wristband and worst comes to worst they have a list. Not saying something can't get messed up, but it's not like they're blindly testing people and have no plan to document results.

He was doing it wrong

A scientist straightened him out later and he acknowledged his error
