Props to Matthes

While reading through my latest issue of Racer X, I read Matthes' "The Bottom Line" where he became a mechanic for a TRUE privateer(Ozzy Barbaree) for a weekend at a national event. Several companies jumped on board and also helped the rider. I thought this was a great idea and thought Steve shouldn't have to pat himself on the back(he says that in the article jokingly), but the motocross community should. Personally, I'd like to see this happen again and maybe a little more detailed( longer) article. Not only did it give positive exposure to the rider, but also to the companies that helped out, Racer X for printing it and Matthes for having a great idea and the tenacity to follow through with it.

Discuss.
