ML shared in his video yesterday that Mitch convinced Larry Brooks to come to Salt Lake by renting him a motorhome to stay in at the track. I guess his immune system is very compromised with the treatment so he could not fly or stay in a hotel. Without Mitch, Brooks wouldn't have been there to see this happen. Badass Mitch, just badass.
Kudos to Mitch Payton

I m thinking.... Brooks should be hired by Kawasaki to run their team. Don't flame me but for god sakes KAW needs a rider focused mgr. It clearly doesn't look like Dan is that guy. Reading the tea leaves he's pushing the corp directive - which is NOT WORKING.
I work for Fasst Company, we manufacture the spoke torque wrenches that most of the sx/mx mechanics use. Mitch randomly called our sales line last Thursday to get a wrench now that his sons are on 125s. Ironically I put that newly released Pro Circuit champ pipe on my yz250 back in February so I mentioned it and he was fired up. He asked me what I thought, seemed to actually care, then gave me more back-story on the development. It was bad ass, we talked shop for about 20 min. He even tried to pay for his wrench at the end of the convo. I told him I’d probably lose my job if I charged him lol. I felt like the fact he wanted to pay and tried to multiple times says a lot about the type of guy Mitch is. Got a lot of respect for that because I’ve had guys who haven’t made a night show all year treat me like piss because I wouldn’t give them a free wrench.
Don't know how deep you are in that company but the Fasst spoke torque wrench is one of the greatest tools ever created. I don't understand how anyone can go without it.
You're not wrong in your thinking but adding another person to the shit pot won't help. This is harsh but people there need to be REPLACED.
Deep, lol. That’s awesome, we appreciate it. DM me and I’ll give you my contact info in case you ever need anything!
I have been friends with Mitch for over fifty years, he was my best man when i got married. You would be hard pressed to find a better friend
Mitch is an icon and pure moto. Imagine where the sport would be without him. Legend.
Typical Mitch I would say, one of the best ever in our sport!!
Humanity is not lost because there are a lot of really good people. We need to give each other a break more often.
Thanks to Mitch for showing us
Perhps we should all spend a few extra bucks at ProCircuit to show Mitch we appreciate him. I know I am going to.
Super awesome, Mitch. I’m glad you were able to help your friend enjoy a great thing. Pretty dang cool.
I bought my spoke torque wrench from them when it was first released more than 25 years ago and it still works perfectly.
Hats off to Mitch on this one.
