Haven’t read the whole thread and don’t plan to but after reading about possibly building another bike for the next moto if one gets claimed, it raises the question of could one race up to 3 different bikes/VINs at LL’s in one class during the week? Just curious, had never thought about it. That could save a mechanic a lot of work.,.

Sorry for the long run-on sentence/question.

Listen Deegan is legit and the real deal. Props to the family for raising great kids.
If you were in his class this year and had an opportunity and cash to claim this bike I would. Considering what this could do in this sport you could have a piece of history. Then probably sell it back to him after hopefully a hall of fame career in 15-20 years. I wish him and the rest of the field great careers.
The hate this family gets is just silly. The amount of eyes they bring to the sport with their family YouTube page is special and that’s Hailee included. It’s like when Connor Mcgregor fights, it’s better for the sport cause more eye balls. Let’s appreciate these guys.

Anyone know how much the numbers jumped for viewing during his motos on the stream?

First time I have ever heard of this rule so, if someone puts a “Claim” on a bike a racer has to sell that person the bike for 2X MSRP?
This happened in 2003 at LL's.

Nope. The Chassis cannot be changed and has to be the same VIN that is qualified with at regionals. Motors can be swapped and anything else but the frame must be the same.

Does not have to be same bike as Regionals.

Once at LL same frame has to be run in all 3 motos.

It is always so interesting to me that people jump into a thread and post complete nonsense and inaccurate information when it is obvious they don't know what they are talking about.

Jesus you people jumping to conclusions is insane!! why the F would someone pay for a claim if they suspected cheating when they could protest for a fraction of the money and get their money back if there was something illegal...maybe they just wanted the bike because to build one just like it themselves would cost more that the $17k....as BobbyM would say....unfuckingbelievable.....

I understand perfectly the difference between a claim and a protest. I don’t understand why you think I DONT understand it.

We know the bike was CLAIMED.
It was claimed because someone wants to look inside it.

Star didn’t want to let it go, so they alledgedly paid them off..
WHY did they pay them off??
Was it because the motor is very special?
Or was it because the motor illegal?
Only the guys at Star know.

This isn’t about the claimant’s motivation, it’s about Star’s motivation.

Exactly. “Claim was retracted” AKA Star paid them
So what is the true value of the bike?
I'm sure the engine must be superb. Let alone nice pieces in the suspension.

You keep assuming that Star has done something illegal or has something in the motor that is unobtanium…We don’t know that is was claimed or retracted or anything…Bomerslang says the bike wasn’t claimed and he would know…the conclusions that you and many are jumping to on this is ridiculous….more than likely there is nothing to see here as it’s nothing but rumors.

How much was paid?
Who exactly from Star handed money to who?
Anyone...anyone...anyone know?
This thread is very confusing and there's a lot of bullshit in it.
Just trying to clear things up in a simple manner with actual facts and names and numbers. Smile

hate to derail this thread but mike alessis super mini bikes were rumored to be making 30+ hp

dont think a hotrod 250f is as special as a super modified 85/105 but it would def be a good piece of history for a serious moto fan

One person in this thread just assumed that Star paid off the person that claimed the bike since the claim was later retracted and now everyone is claiming that to be factual.

Go back and read from the beginning…it started as a rumor and and snowballed…it’s actually quite funny to re-read it and how assumptions became quick facts….

People also haven’t mentioned the moto his wheel blew out, he got off the track and cut half of it to beeline to the mechanics area, then pointed at his bike and pulled back on from the mechanics area. If the wheel had lasted he would of finished the moto after cutting multiple lanes of the track.
did he gain any places from that? no.

Did someone not attempt to claim it? did it not get heated? Did law enforcement need to get involved? How is this not out there yet if people had to be pulled into private conversations to cool the situation down?

Where was his bike held over night?

I read through it.
Only 1 reliable fact by Boomslang that it wasn't claimed.
The rest is fantasy at this point.

I agree with 100% what you have been saying. They might wanted to buy it to copy the engine specs ? So much goes into the Star, PC, Honda, KTM etc with Dyno, testing mods etc. Porting, cams, valve seats, springs etc etc. You can gain allot from just that.

Average Joe blow would be able to afford that. If you rode Yamaha you could get that spec copied. And learn where they gain the performance from.

Would have nothing to do with Cheating..

Show me where I’m assuming Star has done something illegal?! I haven’t said that once.

I have laid down two viable reasons why Star wanted to keep the bike. But not made a single assumption they’ve done something illegal.

If you want to look inside an engine you PROTEST the bike and it gets torn down.

If you want to own the bike you CLAIM the bike and if you are the winning claimant you take the bike home with you.

They are two very different and distinct processes.
