You can say the source is Manny. He's been right, so far.

Blose to H&H while the Haters in here were sayin' other-wise
Bill Keefe to RockStar/Suzuki.
The Moss bro's to Rockstar/Suzuki(Different teams, tho)
SPR formed from MDK/KTM.
Hill to the Bingo Hall.
Brayton to JGR.

I'm jus' sayin'...


That first sentence is a little cryptic for me........ Is the point to let people know that you have inside information? Whatever, I guess.......

I agree with some of you that Wey is sort of invisible on the track. But he is out there year after year putting in solid and consistent top ten series results.

Tedesco, I mean IT9, showed with his win in Colorado and his 3rd OA in the series that he still has what it takes.

Hope the team and the riders have great seasons!!

Wey's last 2 yrs were the same as the 4 prior to that. He just rides around and and when the season ends he is 7th or 8th because 4 or 5 faster riders got hurt. He is not a make it happen kind of a guy. I say he misses half of the nite programs in SX this winter.
... We get it... he's not Stewart.

No, this isn't the Arizona deal...


They've got a new title sponsor that's, also, a hell of an entity(s) that's rising from the ashes within the Auto-Industry; but, I'll let that one wait for their "Official" announcement.


KX450s via Pro-Circuit.


This is gonna be an interesting race-season.
Inspirational rides towards the end of the year are due to their contract being up...... Either they need bargaining power for next year with the current team or they want to get a new ride, been going on for a long time TOO long now and I am so happy to see incentive based contracts making a comeback......no longer will a rider be able to sign a gravy deal and ride around for most of the year w/o being hungry it's about time things changed.

From Racerx:

Tedesco and Wey on New Kawasaki Team

A reliable source let us know that the final details are being worked out for a new Kawasaki-supported, Pro Circuit-equipped team that would combine the veterans Ivan Tedesco and Nick Wey for the 2010 season. The SPR Kawaski team will compete in the 450 class and is managed by Danny Paladino, formerly with the MDK/KTM team and a well-respected presence in the AMA pits. They have an outside sponsor from the automotive industry that will be confirmed when the official news comes out, explained our source. Stay tuned.
Also, did anyone hear what Paladino did to Preston when he was at KTM during the podcast with Matthes?

Well respected? I have to disagree......Kind of suprised he "Paladino" got another chance.

You must mean mains, you can not honestly think he would even miss one night program. They take 40 guys to the night program.

You must be a complete tool! You comment that his 4 years past 08 and 09 are the same as the last 2?

How many top 5's or even top 10's do you have in your record books? Not too many riders have numbers like his when you take into account how many come and go.
You claim he will not make half the night programs in 2010, please. Why not put your money where your fat mouth is, you care to wager?

Find any sport where teams will not pay good money for an athlete that can put up top 10 numbers for multiple years, keep clean and out of trouble not to mention get good exposure for sponsors. There must be something his past sponsors and teams know that you sure as hell don't. Best of luck with that time card you punch every day and your $12 per hr paycheck. You must be cool with Showa racing springs on your sofa unit you fcuking couch potato..........Put some money up know it all.

No need to put any money up.Weys Stats don't lie. He missed 5 programs last yr and finished 14th in the standings. At his age you don't get faster. He is the same guy today as he was 6 yrs ago. You will never see a guy have a Wey type career again where you can hang around yr after yr and get paid with no expectations. IMO Wey has won the game. He did nothing and made a awesome living doing it. I say good for him. But those days are O V E R !!!!

Unlike you I don't have to punch a time card Mr. 7 eleven cashier. LOL

Your forgetting 2006, Wey was easily the best guy that year behind RC, Stewart and Reed, got a few podiums on the MDK Honda, not sure what he finished up that year but i remember thinking he went awesome that year.

Misinformation. Wey made EVERY night program, but didn't score points at 5 rounds (i.e. didn't make the main). Big difference between not making a main and not making a night show.

And, I'd say "those days" aren't "O V E R" yet, since Nick again got what appears to be a decent ride...

RMZ819, that is very easy for many of us including you to say, how can we say making 7th or 8th at the highest level is not " making it happen"? For many top pros just making the main is making it happen. If you are trying to imply that Wey is holding back on us and is capable of doing better then that is something only Nick himself will know. But I think the guy is gnarly and has just had some wierd deals, hopefully this coming year he can prove all non-believers wrong.

So do you stand behind your comment or not? You claim he won't make half the night shows, I disagree. How about $1000 bucks on that? The only way he doesn't is a season ending injury, which nobody is above including RC, Stewart, RV, MC and many of the sports greatest riders. You claim he did nothing and made a living at that, but top privateer(SX), a 125 National Overall, podium at the US Open, double digit amateur titles and 3 top 5 SX seasons in 4 years is hardly doing nothing. The list goes on from there, but I'm sure your stats are better. I need a month selling Slurpees to put up that "G" but I'm willing to risk it, so do we have a bet or not? Lets lay out the terms and see what happens, Guy B can hold the money. What the hell, lets add his teammate IT, you probably talk shit and disrespect him too because he's made money on a dirt bike while you sell hot dogs and slurpees.
