But if Dave really said that,that is FRIGGING AWESOME!!!!
I agree!
I'm also glad that he got a chance to defend himself and tell his side of things....
Cant wait to hear him again.

I never met the guy and I'm sure he's a hard worker self made man and straight shooter, I'm just saying he did not help Kyle one bit .
I never met the man either but my kid raced against Kyle years ago in Michigan (by the way we got beat by his sister Casaundra let alone Kyle!)
I've heard campfire stories about the dad, the mom, the new dad etc. And of course now about all this bangin. Hell I need more!.
Who funded this kid his WHOLE life ????? I think his Step Dad had a HUGE roll in where he is today.
The interview / incoherent rant didn't help Kyle one bit.
From everything I hear from people who know him well, Kyle is a really good kid and I hope he doesn't get cornholed in this industry on account of his handlers.
but at the end of the day Kyle's results and the potential will net him what ever ride he gets.
Having said that I got a call from a prominent team manager last night who had just finished listening to the show on advice from his mechanics and absolutely loved it.
But not in a good way.
We'll get Mark back on and hopefully he'll be calmer.
i think if i was a team manager looking at hiring riders, and it came down to Regal and another kid, that phone call would play on your mind, most people do not like drama like that,
Pit Row
Mike Alessi is proof.
Could he have done a better job, sure. Would it have been nice if he had an outline and was sitting at a desk and went line by line. you bet.
Did he get many of his facts out in a way that most people just listening to him could understand....no.
Jay was probably correct, it didn't help Kyle. On the other hand the more important question is did it hurt him.
Only time will tell. The kid is good, and he will only get better.
I can't speak for Marc or Kyle, but I can tell you as a parent of a racer that that they have worked unbelievably hard to get where they are. They are a tight family.
All of us here are on the net daily always posting and reading. They are not. Everything they hear is from people like those here on Vital, who see them at the track or the races, and ask, "hey I heard this or I heard that". It gets old.
Marc finally got tired of it and let it out.
I know I'd like to see Kyle ride well and be the best he can be, whatever team he is on.
Sounded like the guy was just being himself,rather then some fake industry brown-noser.
I really enjoyed listening to the guy...and cant wait to hear what else he has to say.
Kyle definitely has a new fan!
I think, or it is of my opin that he was rambling only because he was trying to be somewhat p/c.
I first have to say I've never met Mr. Regal, and know nothing about him other than what I heard directly from him on two different MX radio shows. I don't subscribe to any MX magazines and would call myself a very casual MX fan.
My impression of Mr. Regal is based on the two radio shows that I've heard him on and he seems very in your face, loud, argumentative, and seems to have trouble listening because he just wants to talk. With that said I didn't have any issues with the content of what he said (other than constantly repeating what he already covered). I appreciate his honesty, but just because someones honest doesn't mean they get a free pass.
I'm sure most of you work in the business world and sometimes how you present yourself and the attitude you bring to the table is just as important as the content you are presenting. It seems to me that Mr. Regal's problem is more about the way he presents himself and his in your face type of personality.
I also think he's "out there" and making such a plea because deep down he feels guilty about his son possibly not getting opportunities because of his personality or actions....regardless if they are right or wrong.
Matthes, I would suggest if you have Mr. Regal on your show again you find away to make it more of an interview than a platform for Mr. Regal to ramble. If he wants to ramble and repeat himself then he should get his own show. Love the show by the way!
Just my 2 cents....which means nothing to Mr. Regal, but it needed to be documented. ha ha
