It's been speculated on here a few times as between $1mil - $3mil. No idea if that's even remotely close, but whatever it was, the amount of money compared to the amount of work made sense to Kenny.

For WSX? I thought that came from the WSX series itself?

Be careful what you wish for.  If Kenny comes in and starts taking podium spots from the others it will only extend Jett’s point lead further.  He might have this wrapped by round 8.

For people saying that he didn't look that fast, if I could hit a corner like he is around that tree I'd die a happy man. 

 

In a perfect world he would come to Hi-Point and go 1-1. The Vital servers would basically go up in flames.

Or we might see Jett riding on the edge more than ever with a "feeling it" Ken Roczen up on his ass, and he might be pressed into a mistake or two. He hasn't had any real challenge so far this season.

not a jett fan and certainly a fan of Ken's comeback but he aint got shit for jett. He might rip a holeshot and lead for a little but he likely will end up 3-5. Somewhere in the DF, Webb, AP area. I think he beats AC. Just an opinion

The biggest idiots on this board are the ones who complain about a guy going racing. Especially the ones who say things like "they're taking a spot from someone else".

He should just show up by himself with the bike in the back of a pickup, race the first moto, crack a couple's beers with some pizza and watch the second moto with the fans and hangout.

I actually think it might not be 2m a year. It sounds like it goes up each year. More the 2nd year and even more the 3rd year. In the end around 6m total.

Dude-  Doug Henry did that exact thing at Southwick one year.  Pulled up with a YZ250 in the back of his S-10 Pick-Up.  Can't recall the year (He had retired), but if I'm not mistaken, he was top 5 that day.

Another guy that will be 30 seconds behind Jett. Good to have the German back on the track. More guys that can run top 5 is always better in my opinion.

Ill give you that, this actually made me laugh.

On another note, poor Kenny. Jett's 1-1 is gonna look pretty nasty next to Kenny Robot Wrists DNF-DNS. Hopefully he's smart enough to not try and actually keep up with Jett and end up hurt before WSX.

If its anything like his Suzuki, the engine is definitely a pull start.
