 Now if you want to talk about a tail wagging a dog, you don’t need to look any further than Honda.

A fast guy makes a lot of weaknesses look good. 

 Let’s see how Hunter does on that new bike with a new ECU and tuner.

RCs not available, and Suzuki isn’t spending the money to buy a big name, so he will be mediocre just like he was Before Carmichael. 

Now that’s gonna get you some downvotes. 

We don’t like truth here.

You have to admire Triumphs' effort to pursue a successful machine and team..this is all proof in the pudding.

So would you also poke fun at Dazzy calling the shots at Honda or are you only looking to shit on the Deegans?

No, I'd agree about Dazzy to a degree.  He has massive bargaining power.  Anyone with influence on Jett's career trajectory can call the shots at any team. However, I think Brian probably has more of an overarching plan - possibly involving his own team. I don't think Dazzy is so orientated toward being a businessman.  I would add, I think Brian, for all his faults, is a very intelligent man, and should be able to run rings around the hillbillies at Star.  Of course, he still needs HD to do it. 

I don't agree with you on much, but I think this is a pretty spot on assessment of both Dazzy's influence at Honda and Deegan's place at Star.

I'm betting it was for the paycheck. No way you leave a team like that 30 days out from A1 without significant $$$ thrown at you.

Why does it matter if its 30 days or 1 day before A1?  You dont owe them anything. People come in go in big companies all the time and I promise you star racing 450 team is not a big company but yet everyone acts like they are a Fortune 500 company. You do what’s best for yourself and your family. 

Star Racing isn't a big company.

And it doesn't always work like that.  In the video games industry, you rarely leave a company during a project.  It just screws things up, and causes deadlines (Christmas) to be missed.  There are a lot of families depending on those deadlines.

Also, there are times when leaving a company at the wrong time can cause them to simply fail.  After my previous company didn't survive the pandemic, the company that bought the assets and hired almost all of the former staff, needed some of the engineers from the old company to stick around and help them get up to speed with the significant amount of technology, while keeping customers happy in the mean time.

I stayed.  Money matters, but it's not the only thing that matters.

I can't say at this point that a huge pay raise couldn't lure me elsewhere, but during the transition, I would've either given the new company the opportunity to match, or not entertained offers to go elsewhere.  There were simply too many people's livelihood at stake.

Plus they're good people, and it's a good company.

I'm sure Coker weighed everything, and decided he still needed to go.  For all we know, this may have been in the works for a while, and just announced now.

I don't think Brian is ever going to run rings around Bobby Reagan. It takes a special set of skills to do what he has done in life and business. 😉

They changed ECU manufactures, and someone else is going to be programming them.

Wasn't Hahn the team manager at Star before Coker? They fired Wil didn't they?

With how dialed the Lawerence's starts have been, this could be bad or widen that gap. IDK I just know that they have really been on the right track data wise these part two years.

I doubt that HRC would make that change without knowing that they would be at the same level or better. 

Jett made some good starts at Paris,

Sounds like Triumph wanted to bring the SMX team fully in house instead of whatever subcontracting they were doing to Bobby Hewitt for him to run the SMX team for them. Plus with Triumph adding the in house GNCC and Amateur teams next year, they needed a GM to oversee it all. 

A big promotion, more responsibility (and money I'd assume) and less travel. Congrats to Coker.
