Do you see candidates for sponsors in $$ only, not parts? Wossner pistons? NGK spark plugs? (Star's big power secret: a huge stash of NOS Splitfire plugs from the 90s!!!) Rekluse clutch? GYTR pieces?
The other one who looks horrible IMO is Matt Walker. There was absolutely zero reason for him to get involved. His place should have been to simply say "Not my pig, not my farm" and keep himself out of it unless he was going to support his guy. It would be interesting to hear his side and reasoning to why he even got involved.

He said on his YouTube that Brennan was "playing dirty" (by doing exactly what the rules say) and that the reason they wouldn't forfeit the bike is because it has too much development into the motor. Which is exactly the reason the rules say they must forfeit the bike at penalty of suspension.
And he certainly had no reason at all to be alone in a room with an unaccompanied competing kid for an extended period. That is 100% shady shit.
And that's not even addressing all the shenanigans that were potentially going on behind the scenes with other motors and manufacturer reps/dealers/trainers.
Drops in b4 a moto. The eye drops increase the muscle strength. Of course 27% of the clutch is slipped on starts. I thought everyone knew that.
I still would buy a Blue Pig though.
It certainly is interesting.
Prior to the second meeting where their dealer insisted they stop the claim (why were there any meetings at all, other than to sign a bill of sale?), Brennan's Dad went down to impound, and dealt with the AMA to ensure the motor chain of custody would be upheld.
While the mob here is rightfully so justified in their distain for Sore Loser, we actually agree on the main tenants of the story. They however are doing all they can do to direct focus away from MxSports and Deegan to Yamaha and Others.... and from what I have been told, Yam/Star/Walker is the rightful place to direct most of this heat. Unless MXSports told Yamaha Don to pull strings, we are looking for another villain here.
Pit Row
It's obvious that Walker was coordinating with the whole cabal because he was the one who blindsided the kid by inviting him to his camp without telling him Luce would be there to ambush.
Deegan had no right to be anywhere near the issue, Walker was just absolutely over the line and if there was Yamaha influence in the dealers decision, heads must roll...
If we are divining out lashes though, MxSports et al should get 25% of what the rest should get.
Instead, DC writes an article claiming a video posted on the internet was "very misleading", etc. then goes on to provide details that are now appearing to be lies. This is straight from the top person at the series promotor company. That's flat out unacceptable.
I've been a staunch defender of DC up until this incident, even through all the video issues etc. I can't defend him any longer in this case. Its indefensible.
The only way to unfuck this situation is to terminate employees who screwed up, issue a public statement, and move on from the incident thus distancing themselves from any other party involved. This deal isn't going to just go away at this point. Action must be taken.
And now DC is in the dog house, and deservedly so... Deep in the dog house..!.. problem is- his monopoly... he's the race promoter, as well as the sanctioning body, as well as the largest media source... gonna be a long, hard, fall from grace for DC....
When Matt Walker’s name was brought up tho, boy did things take a turn. Should be interesting to hear his version. He’s got the benefit of batting cleanup. But again, very deep hole to dig out of imo.
Who'da thought
