Deegan family meeting notes: 

Pump up the USA and J*sus. We'll get more clicks even though these foreigners are kicking our ass. 

Clicks = cash, baby! 

You know that it’s starting to sink in for Haiden how much better the brothers is when he brings out the old man above talk…

Yeah I'd love to see all the people I saw commenting on IG yesterday how this isn't a sand track go do a couple motos on it. We get it, its not Lommel. It is a sand track though and I promise you its not fun at the end of the day. I speak from experience

Yea its worse than deep sand tracks in my opinion. Deep sand you can get a rythm going, southwick you cant get a rythm. The hard base with sand on top makes it extra slippery and the hard base makes fast chop around the entire track that pounds you. No big jumps to get a breath plus the hard base makes it super fast in some sections they said on the section past the start the 450s hit 70mph. 

Another down side is deep sand is consistent with how it feels. Compared to sand with a hard base beneath it, it changes at a certain point. Out here in the southwest New Mexico and Texas area, we have sand with hard base, bottomless dunes, or hard rock. The most inconsistent is a wet top layer and dry under layer. Which Southwick looks like it would match.

Jett- still the man but that ankle and all the pressure defff not making it an easy championship this yr... 

Hunta- arguably the fmotp rn... solid day.. dood was flyn... 

Cringe lord - nobody talks about he how he was faster on a 250 and because his riding style is a mess rn he's become a fader... 

Lucas - geezusssss that dood gonna be a legit title contender in mx next yr.... 

Prado- super fast, but all his weaknesses are really showing this summer - his inability to pass, and how he can barely get through traffic after a bad start... 

Marchbanks - doing exceptional well this summer... chase is lucky he isn't racing this summer because his team mate would likely be beating him... 

Webb/dylon/rj/Jordan- older burnt out guys who used to be wayyy faster than they are now... 

____________

Sasha - holy chittt that kid has speed... like a thread here on vital says, he defff gives off rc vibes... 2027 usa 250 nat champ right there!! 

Levi - 250 lifer... he might have bod issues who knows but what we do know is he will never grad to the 450s.... 

Davies - dood was flying early in moto 2... and he's really a fairly legit rookie.. if he gets the title this year, he's gonna need to level up a bit to beat Sasha next yr, which he should be able to do... 

Jo- it's a wrap boys... I feel like this pretty much puts a stamp on his career... 250 lifer... i wonder how many more yrs he's gonna be willing to do this.. 

Romano - his kick ass summer has come to a truly pc curse style ending... 

Minear- kid is crushingggg it!!

Juju- fast and a great comeback season... hopefully he gets an sx title in 27... 

Hymas - much less of an injury than juju or jo, yet far worse results... maybe lagging injury?? Or is he headcasing out?? 

Thrasher - dood used to be soo much faster... 250 lifer.. 

Mosiman- used to have the speed to win legit... now... he has legit 10th place speed...

Exactly. The straight after the start is super high speed and all hard pack chatter bumps up to the face of the big jump, then it drops away and its still hard pack till the deegz whip jump where all of a sudden its suuuper deep sand and u land off that and almost stop, then the big left corner after that is super deep sand but whooped out rollers. Youre constantly hitting completely different types of terrain and can get no flow.

Jett on one leg, Sacha on one arm, and both still pulling away from the rest.

Meanwhile the US riders will be back to hitting their marks on groomed test tracks come Monday.

Thank god were doing the combines now, we need more than two though! Kids need to race, the test track has its place but its not a replacement for race experience.

A great day of racing, unfortunately marred by some injuries to key people. 

I am really sorry to see Jo get hurt and hope he gets well soon. But it seems like it’s time for him to give up the dream of a 250 title and move on up already 

Amazed at what Sascha accomplished at the end of moto 2. Hope he is still able to finish the MX2 title run.  Same with Lucas, though his day wasn’t nearly as successful.

Deegan did great. Next year, after he builds '450 strength,' he will be a factor.

Poor Sacha. So fun to watch. The Coenens' risk coming here didn't pay off for him. But if the big picture is AMA titles, then it is all still ok. If he did break his collarbone, he won't be racing next weekend.

Jett can still be the fastest.

Probably better off suffering till he gets back to Belgium. I think someone from Aus did something like that in the past

Definitely looking forward to the Coenens racing over here. They’ve both shown they can ride amazingly fast. 

Deegan might get anxiety if more competition comes over. 
He just needs to keep his mouth shut. 

His baiting is getting so tacky as my 11 year old grand son would tell you.

What is the mod made to the footpeg on Jett’s bike?

A second foot peg welded off the back at a 90 degree angle. Similar idea to ankle savers. 

You don’t think that was cnc’d or 3D printed?

Looked like 2 pieces to me. Hard to tell, but my hunch is welded.

Lars said looked like jo broke collarbone at end of plate that's already on it on the xrays at medic rig, but concussion was bad enough he couldn't have raced anyway and ended up going to hospital to get that checked out. Doubt we see him until after the break if at all until smx. Can't just put a new plate in if broken too close to the end of the bone.
