10, 000 dollar part? What failed on Hunters scooter. HRC has experienced 2 or 3 equipment failures in the last 2 seasons. That is highly unusual for factory Honda wouldn't you say?

Anyone quiz Lars on this subject

Fetzer Valve probably gave up the ghost. I know the ‘18-‘21’s had issues with the dickfor.

Probably should have been running marvel mystery oil or a Jofama triple air filter. Oh well...

I wonder if the factories still tone it down a notch for Southwick? The place does claim a lot of motors when the National comes to town. Someone ends up pushing it off the track every year it seems.

That's what happens when Honda tries to cheat by running a hidden nitrous system in the airbox. Hunter hit the scramble button one too many times.

If it happens again on a Honda 250 next year there might be a pattern there...

Where is Will when she could do some real reporting?

Back in the day in auto racing:

Journalist - what put you out?

Crew chief: electrical problem

Journalist: but there's a hole in the block as big as my head

crew chief: Yes, as I said electrical problem, the rod came through the block and knocked off the distributor cap!

Have you spent any time around him ? Or are you going by what you see on TV ? 
Lars is a pretty humble guy, he’s worked with a LOT of big names and has never come off as an ego driven kind’ve guy. 
To be honest, I know several of these guys in the industry and Lars is hands down the most normal/ down to earth guy in his position.

My money is on this being a faulty Fetzer valve. Nothing a good set of pliers and 30-weight ball bearings can’t fix.
