He can stand down but there would be nothing in it for him. Always great to see a 16YO legit pro go racing. Just like the glory days.

My gut tells me Honda is going to offer him a lot of money.

Sounds like Ironman this year, SX futures, then pro for Outdoors 2025

Your gut is wise.

Thanks Bro, as well as yours.

Man, wish I could have seen that. Any chance of it being televised or on YouTube?

Suckthat#11 dnf,d at the start. He has Great style uses more creative lines. He& Johathan on the cr hv cool style . I,m a little like them plus a little Huffman& Bradshaw. All the riders r great and there really aggressive every where.  The track is a little tough to cage there speed. Since it’s a busy small track some day it’s a supermini track.  But the 125 emx riders hv a much higher corner speed.

Super impressed with Wheaton in B. Hes the one who sent the insane gap at the high point regional. 2nd in any B class is insane.

Kenny Henry coming back from a lackluster year in 23 with a 2nd in +30. Wish hed finally nag a #1 plate. 

Kyleigh Hayes in the girls class with a 10th. Coming off of a broken back after areas, then getting the ok to ride the week before her regional, and also putting it in the WMX class as a youngster. Cool part is, her momma(step) is a regular in the WMX. True vet rider in age still getting in there. 

Cole davies reminds me of kitchen, albeit a little less dominant in motos. moto 1 of 250 pro sport was where this came to mind.

Earl May still killin it. I was in school boy when i first saw him waxing FL vet classes. Hes an inspiration. 

 

lol, Earl May.  I had taken my boys to a race in BFE Ga called coyote run.  Per them, it was a great sand track, lone gone and covered with houses now.  This was 2004 and I was like wtf is this old man that's hauling ass out there.  This was 20 years ago and I was like no other old man can go that fast. we were just getting into the racing scene heavy them.  I later seen Grewe putting the smack down on may and I was dumbfounded at that result.

Not that theyre winning every class bUT from 65's to the 450's aND all in between it seems lIke almost all the class is filled with these bikes

Their 450’a are $10,000 and probably $12,000 out the door, maybe they mean big bike sales.

The overwheliming majority of bikes in the big bIke class were also Austrian

I thought there was more Yamaha's there as far as 4 strokes. I could be wrong.

Earl slowed down a lot as he won his last championship. The fact he got beat by a 50YO was no surprise.

Damn don't look at lap times for 7-8 50cc or 7-9 65cc and compare them to the Maico 490 and YZ490 rider. 🥺

He already did SX Futures and pretty much dominated until the final round, why do that again? 

I see Honda snagging him and putting him on a similar program to Chance Hymas where he raced a few pro SX races in his rookie year but with no pressure, focus on staying healthy for the outdoors to see how he does. Everyone saw how much Deegan learned from jumping into the pros. So long as the team is honest about it being a no-pressure situation and they aren't going to bait-and-switch his 2-yr contract to a 1 yr if he doesn't perform, there's much more for him to gain from racing the west/east pros than doing another year of futures.

I have a feeling that if Adams appears to be ready for 250 class supercross he may be moved up from Futures to 250 East.  As impressive as he has been I still feel like he is a little under the radar.  He always rode a class higher than where he belonged.  I think a top 10 moto finish this year at Ironman is not out of the question.  I could see him running solid top 5 next year.  He reminds me of kids like Reynard and Windham who had man strength and speed at 16 years old.  He's going to be a problem.

It's been discussed, which on Vital means half think it's fine because he's a fierce competitor, and half think he's an absolute loser for it. Never any middle ground lol. I was part of the "loser" side so I can't really talk though...but at the end of the day, Mike Brown is Mike Brown and nobody was shocked. 

Matthes and Perebijnos both came down pretty hard on him on the Renthal Reaction pod.

Yeah 100 times the fun. Jonathan is a Great rider check his style out. Matty B regional 125 from Tomahawk is killer. The cr125 got 2nd in the 1st moto.  He is also racing  2 classes . He fmf the 2nd moto at LL could be trying to save the bike in the 3rd. Still passing a lot of riders in moto 3 tho.
