What actually was disqualification for?
No chance they are stupid enough to run a 60cc....
The limited class at Loretta's should be all bikes supplied by the manufacturer and all you can do is bring your own suspension, leaver and bars.
When little Johnny gets on his bike at Loretta's and it's not the same as the one he's raced the qualifiers.... Stiff shit you snotty nosed maggot.
A DQ is not enough punishment for being caught cheating.
Maybe a 1 year exclusion from all racing will deter folk from cheating.
Feel bad for the kid but the parents need to be held accountable.

If they gave out a 5 year ban for cheating, I'm sure that would that would get the parents thinking twice about it.
But what would Loretta's be without a bit of drama 😆
Seems like that class would be one of the easiest to spot a cheater bike.
Failing a test of intelligence and integrity all at once. Total losers. Poor kid.....
Why is it always the PW class every year 🤣🤣🤣
Never seen a class taken so seriously
This reminds me of racing my pw50 in the 90’s at Perris raceway. So many cheater pw’s. The stock class bikes hauled ass and the mod pw’s threw a 30’ roost and didn’t even look like the same bike. I feel like cheating was worse back then.
I’m bummed for the kid but hopefully everyone will forget about it and move on in a couple years. Parents didn’t think that through, idiots.
So Patterson, who has multiple championships, and eddie ray, who has at least one LL title, are race promoters and they run the training facility, NXT LEVEL 101 along with several other tracks.
What a nice look for them to get caught blatantly cheating.
"Duh!...I grabbed the wrong piston off the work bench".
on the other hand, They are in good company.
James Stewart got protested at gatorback when he was on a PW for running an illegal pinion gear off a Yamaha scooter.
When presented with the protest Big James admitted it was true and took the dq.
His career never recovered.
I wonder how the parent explains that to his kid, I mean, the kid crossed the line in first and in his head he won.
Then he gets DQ'd....the win and trophy get taken away.....how does the cheating parent explain that to his kid?? Probably has to come up with a bullshit story...ie...lie to the poor kid.
Yea it’s something the kid will likely not forget and be told the truth by another kid at the ranch one year. They probably should tell him, we did some motor work that’s illegal. He’s little but if he keeps racing he will hear the story one day and that will just make it so much worse. I hope the parents feel like shit because I don’t know how you punish them without punishing the kid more.
The 1988 Olympic Mens 100 meter final comes to mind here.
Gotta feel bad for the kid...
Unfortunately this has always been a part of minicycle racing.
Didn't Haiden Deegen get busted for a big bore 50 at Oak Hill?
The parents should be embarrassed putting their kid into these situations.
The kid seems to have quite the admiration for Deegan, right down to the replica helmet, sticking his tongue out on the podium, and running a cheater bike at an amateur race. His IG handle makes me think there's also some Ronnie Mac or Ricky Bobby influence in there. This should be an interesting family to follow for the next couple of decades lol.
Stew also got a DQ at the ranch for disabling the tip over switch I believe. He went Dq-1-1 iirc
The fact that a kid has a social media presence that is being commented on by adults is a bit absurd.
But here we are. Nothing builds character like vanity and cheating. Top notch qualities to nurture from a very, very young age.
Pit Row
I think it was the QT50 gears that caused the mess of DQs a couple years ago
Best 100 ever. At a big local race there huffing oxygen before they race . Could be from lack of oxygen from riding, training in the toxic wild fire smoke . I think it’s worse than 2 yrs ago.
Lol, James "tucking the front son" even on PWs so much Big James had to disable the tip over switch. Love the guy, but getting DQ'd for that on a PW is pure gold.
Stewart got 4 yrs for using Adderall so it makes sense that cheating with the bike needs to carry a heavier sentence. I think for the first offense a 1 year ban and second offense 2 yrs.
Eddie forgot to put a Star Racing sticker on that PW. If he had, nobody would have dared protest them and if they did, one of the high ranking officials there would have had his back…😎
Sorry, that was just too easy. 😂
Didn’t they allow the QT gearing change before?
I dont know what Bobby Barr did to those PW’s but he built a ton of them that won LL. One time when I went to his shop there were 20 brand new PW’s sitting there for him to do his magic on.
Should have paid Tim Cotter to claim it and make it disappear. 😁
What a shame. SMH
He used a modded engine to compete and got found out…yet when star/deegan did it that got brushed under the carpet!!
Cheating in the 50cc class, gold 🤣
What does Deegan have to do with the 50 class. The bike was illegal and therefore the poor kid got DQ’d rightfully so. SMH at his parents…..
Is it confirmed that they were actually cheating? Is this just rumors? I was so excited to get my kids into racing because I’ve raced for so long I know everyone that races in ga. I thought it would be a great time hanging out with the dad and letting are kids have fun. It definitely isn’t anything like that. Everyone is so serous about sports. Such a bummer. Especially in moto cause the odds of making any money racing is very low.
