I heard Jeff was going to post them all but will do it after he names names and exposes the AMA and MX sports drug ring so it should be any day now.
Jeff was going to go on a lecture circuit with an old overhead projector and he was going to highlight the important parts including the topics mentioned in the previous post,, but it did not ever happen because he misplaced his laser pointer.

When Brayton won Daytona that year, I said that Tony needed to send out a Alessi Weekly one final time.

Subj: ALESSI WEEKLY //////////////////// GLEN HELEN REM 4/24/10
LATEST
With less then a month until the ama out door national motocross championships commence more professional racers were in attendance today at rem /glen helen racing . those ranked national riders included former world champion tyla ratrey ,tommy searle ,and brett metcalf .Both 250/450 pros line up an take off on the same gate which allows for some very good racing .Mike won the opening moto from start to finish with just under a 10 second lead . The second moto didn't go as well for mike who lead until the 21 minute mark, but a problem slowed his pace and also caused a small crash (with 2 laps to go) which gave metcalf the win in moto 2.
COMP
metcalf ,ratrey,searle

we are concerned about a 30 day grand prix rule where riders are not aloud to ride a grand prix track 30 days before a race . rem racing is on another track in side the glen helen facilty ...we are not sure if we can get in trouble for this .
FIRST MOTO WINNER : Mike #800 lead the first moto from start to finish ending the moto with just under a ten second lead .
STARTS : mikes starts seem to be good on the #800 ktm
That’s what I’m talking about. Thanks!
I’d love to read some from their amateur days. Listening to the Loretta’s re-raceables is what made me think of it. I remember going to the GNC at Mosier Valley I believe the year Tony spit in father Millsap’s face. The drama in the minibike classes was all time! I just want to relive some of my childhood. I’ve got a lot of respect for Tony now so it’s not about shitting on him but there’s no denying the insanity from back in those days and it sure was entertaining.
Aloud 😂
wait is that real? please tell me thats not real. that spelling should be a felony
Calm down. We're dirt bike racers not rocket surgeons.............
Yes, it’s for real. And it was weekly!
Alessi weekly newsletter > Any current rider weekly vlog
That news letter was ahead of its time…blogging before blogging was even a thing…
Absolutely real ///////////
So bad it that it was so good.
I would love to have copies of every one…
They were a quick read, but always entertaining.
I would pay money to see their weekly report after the Washougal laser gate.
You guys make up some funny sht, my dad has all the ALESSI Weekly’s from 2001-2017* in multiple binders that go threw everything we did growing up all the way down to the lap times and our heart rates waking up, one of the binders was stolen that we have been trying our hardest to track down, if anyone knows anything about it let us know. It blows my mind how people can say I said something and I read it not knowing who they are and haven’t ever spoke to them. You guys helped me track down a jerseys I wanted for years and I know this place is a great place to reach out to the community.

I'm betting it's a bit of a relief to see the Vital vitriol has now aimed it's sights on the Deegan family.
I hope you guys find the stolen binder.
I just see a dad who was very enthusiastic about his sons' racing careers. The fact that he made newsletters and shared them is pretty cool, and I'm sure when the Mike and Jeff look back, they are glad their dad did that.
Tony is one of a kind for better (And)/Or worse. Like him or hate him, its shit like this that makes him a legend of our sport lol.
Does DC have it? That would make a great item for an ebay fundraising auction some day. Maybe Jeff could autograph it.
I was in Alessi weekly twice. Both from Branson USA 95 and 01. Both times were because I holeshot Mike.
Mike did GT arenacross this year and I filled in for Harmon when he was hurt, and it marked 28 years of us racing each other.
There’s a scene from one of the early episodes of The Moto inside the outdoors with Mike kayaking in what looks like some decent waves/surf and Tony’s like 3 feet away on a Jetski yelling at him the whole time lmao. I’m glad he’s come around to who he is now and is a little more respectable. A couple years ago on someone else’s Instagram post I must’ve struck a nerve about MCR because Tony took it upon himself to DM 16 year old me and tell me about how I know nothing about factory bikes and how to build competitive machines and all kinds of shit, and then sent me YouTube links to motos of Mike leading on the Suzuki in 2012. All I did was explain to a guy in the comments that MCR got factory support but wasn’t the same exact bike as a “Factory” Honda.
You the man!
I'm guessing Danielle in that photo is Mike's now wife? Had no clue they were together that long. Good for them.
Every time Jeff shows up here he seems like a good dude to be honest.
I only berry vaguely remember hearing about these at the time, but cool to see a couple now.
My first event in USA, my boys beside both on the line at Vegas world mini, Villo amongst them, watched it all happen and police arrive after spit and punch. Wow, so this is kids mx in the USA.
