Lil Keefer racing nationals

Cool! Excited to see how he does.

Good for him, but he's going to need to step it up results-wise. 

You can bet that he's going to be excellent at giving good feedback to his mechanics. 

His Dad has 1 national point, from the 2004 125 west coast series with a 20th at Anaheim 3.

I could see him slotting in 15-20 by the end of the season.

I think he will score a point here or there but 15-20 consistently by the end of the season would be impressive. Over 20 factory bikes will be racing. 

Congrats!

Regardless of results he will probably help the team develop the bike and that's extremely valuable

It's his pro debut.  What results will he need to step up?

Not a National point. Don't get me wrong I would love to be able to say I got 20th at Anaheim, but its a reginal point.

Nice opportunity for him.

I noticed he wasn’t at the Philly futures (the night show at least), which I thought he planned to do. Was there any word on that? His results have been improving there.

How do you think he’ll finish? A team like this isn’t going to be happy carting someone to every round  if they’re not scoring points or close to it. I think everyone is being a little bit generous thinking he’ll be near 20th based off his previous results. 

Edit: I know it’s not the end of his career if he has a mellow summer, but I think this is his “time to shine” opportunity, and hopefully it doesn’t go to waste. 

Based on Ferry’s and Towers’ past results I would guess the team’s results goal is try to get points when they can but have to be ok with finishes in the 20s, especially for a rookie.

I don’t think Park has ridden a 250 outdoors but I would definitely expect him to be in the points when he’s back and I’m sure the team feels the same. That said I don’t think you can apply expectations for Park on to Keefer.

Congrats nepo boy

🤣

Very cool. Good for him, as this is a pretty nice opportunity. It seems like he really came a long way in the last few years. He has some good backing, so hopefully he can make a run at some good results. 

He hasn't really dominated at the amateur level; to expect he'll regularly slot in 15-20 range near the end of the season seems unlikely to me.  Would love to see it though - no hate comms for sure.

Any of these kids breaking in I wish all the luck in the world to.

The results from his AM career. 

That would be a great skill for dad keefer to pass down imo

Aden will never be out of work in this industry is my guess. Kris has created his career by learning how to be a test rider. But Aden has been taught how to be a test rider. I think that will bode well for him if he decides to stay in this industry.  

Regardless though, nothing but good thoughts for Aden this summer!!

This is what Little KEF needs to do.  STAY HEALTHY.  His goal should be make ever event and race every moto.  Get the experience, get some knowledge and STAY HEALTHY.  The results will come.  Also get 2 points, so he can be twice as good as his Dad.

RIP ANH

Will qualifying be tough for him to get into the main program?

He's a top B Amateur isnt he? Those kids are crazy fast. I would think he's around 20th place outdoors. Thats completely guess work on my part

Yeah he finished behind a couple Wi. Riders at LL. Nice kid but come on. A Phoenix ride. Lol And what pro ams did he do to get his 60 points ?  

He was also taught that his job is to sell motorcycles.

It would be really cool if he's able to score a point this year once the field thins out a bit.
