An NOS system w/ airboot-mounted manifold would likely bring the weight up to spec, and from my interpretation doesn't appear to violate any homogulation, engine-mod, or fuel spec rules pursuant to the 2010 AMA Rulebook. Wink

Josh Grecko wouldn't be a bad choice. That 17 year old is still racing his 2006 CRF250 and it is so roached out. Oh yeah, he qualified for GH and Hangtown last year on that pile.

Remember the radiator that J-Law stole? That was for Grecko.

He's a good kid.

II am so excited for you Sleeter to have the balls to race a 250 two stroke in the Nationals, Good luck to you and I wish you extreme success and go show them what its all about ! .



I agree with Chris Ridgeway about his choice of Josh Greco -



I grew up in Southern California, three miles from Ascot Park, I raced and got involved with CMC from 1976 until 1990, I was the chief official for the number one MX PRO-AM series in the United States, and have seen the best of the best since then until now, I have officiated over two thousand events and have had the opportunity of knowing, meeting and associating with thousands of racers and many champions from many different racing disciplines.

I am the current Chairman for the AMA Southern California Championship Motocross Series, the only AMA motocross series in California where I have had the privilege of knowing Josh and his family on a regular basis over the last three years - HE IS THE REAL DEAL and has more drive and positive attitude than ANY RACERS that I know currently. I will put him in the potential category of a Bob Hannah and Jeremy McGrath if he was to be put on the right equipment.



Being from Sacramento and been racing since he was five years old (several peewee and mini championships to his resume), many Southern Californians haven’t heard of Josh, but the word is out now and his fan following is growing, but he will always remain a hard working, humble, thankful and sincere racer.

I am also in one of the local Southern California desert clubs and two years ago, we all invited Josh and his family to come and race a desert race. They chose the 100s MC National and Josh was just 15 then, racing as an intermediate in motocross. He jumped on his dads 2005, clapped out CRF450X and from the second starting line finished first ammie and 30th overall against some of the best desert racers in the world - Josh at that time only weighed in at 115 and was only 5'5".



The last year since he got his Pro license at 16, he has qualified for both California Nationals (Glen Helen and Hang Town) and made the night program for the AMA Supercross Series racing the West Coast lites - ALL on his 2006, totally used up CRF250r where his family is doing everything to get him to the track and keep his bike going.



Now at 17 and one of the youngest racers on the PRO circuit as a privateer, I guarantee this WILL be one of those rags to riches stories. Who ever takes a chance on this hard driven, hard working young man from Hesperia will not be sorry.

Thanks for reading my post and again, good luck.
Cheers,


Chris Johnson / Chairman

AMA Southern California Championship Motocross Series

OH, and just as important as his racing, Josh is still in regular High School (for the social exposure) with the support of his teachers and school admistrators for his Pro racing and gets great grades ontop of everything else. His High School gives him the time to go to the races as long as he gets his school work done.

He stood out like a sore thumb wearing that old school Honda jersey. Hope he gets a chance to show case his skills.

Josh Greco - I have had several chances to meet Josh and watch him race. He is a dedicated rider and on the verge of being great. He just needs that little bit of help to push him over the top. Please consider him.

Caselli would be an awsome stand in (Im good friends with Kurt and one of his top fans), but he already has a 450 KTM ride - give this GRECO kid the chance and you won't be dissappointed. CJ

Thank you everybody that has mentioned my name.
I am reallly hoping for the help on this one, i could really use it more than a lot of other riders. my family is struggling to get me to the races and keep my 06' honda 250f running. This season of outdoors i am planning on racing 450's but if i dont get help either with this ride or someone helping out getting a new bike im going to end up riding a 05 honda 450. I just really want to see what i can do on a fast bike, I know if i have the bike i can show the results and get a good finish on it so i can get noticed and a little more support.
So if i do end up getting this ride for the opening round i would like to thank everyone that has mentioned my name.
And if i dont get chosen hopefully someone will help out
Thanks again,

Your from Hesperia, have you gone over in person and talk to TY. I mean I don't know if he can help but you guys are both from the same small town. I'm sure Husky wouldn't mind seeing a bike in the Main Motos, if you can do it. TY is a straight up guy IF he can help I think he would, it's mid season for them. There gonna start replacing the guys bikes maybe he can hold off on sending one back to the factory, I don't know.

Or what about your other hometown neighbor Travis Preston, he knows just a FEW thousand people in the industry maybe he can help.

If your biggest supporter Hacker is tight with Caselli, talk to Kurt as well.

If you haven't figured it out in this sport there so many guys, who have rides, not cause there fast, cause they knew someone or there daddy is a someone.

Johnny Moore, Already spent some time In Europe with Strum Kawasaki and made the night show several times in his rookie season aboard a 450. Kid has a great family and great values. Give him the shot Sleetdawg!

YES - I am a Josh Greco fan

I have seen what he has accomplished without, and can see in forcast what he is capable of doing with, thru sheer determination, hard work and confidance - for a lad of seventeen years old, he has a focus that of a very seasoned, successful PRO veteran.

Just spoke with USAs Billy Hamill yesterday, the 1996 WORLD Speedway Champion and he will offer Josh a speedway ride if the right MX support doesnt happen soon. Like I said before, he is on the brink of stardom and those that get involved with him will surely attract a bunch of good attention. CJ

I have had the pleasure of knowing josh for awhile now and have had the opp to see all the hard work he has put in.. josh greco is a very humble kid and is very talented on a bike.. i myself have ridden/raced for years and know talent when i see it and this kid is the real deal.. he has more goals than any 17 year old kid i know.. i know given the opp to ride a good bike he will bring in the results that will earn him a ride.. he has been ridding a blown out '06 and is making the main events on it.. just imagine putting the kid on a bike that has close to the horsepower as the others..

thank you for reading this...

Holey shit, Sleets!

Apparently, the Greco kid makes the shortlist.

I would think a little on-track interview would be in order.

Good luck, everyone.
