2/2/2016 12:02pm I used to respect MXA but not anymore. I have been to a couple of REM races in the last few years and Jody walks around like the next coming. He has a huge ego and thinks he can play God on what bikes and even riders make it. . He has a huge issue with Honda clearly. I would...

1/31/2016 6:20am Did you boil it in less than 15 minutes on a cool, damp evening ? As for the smoke, when the ignition cuts out due to an Elec issue, fuel goes unburned and then can ignite causing the smoke from an overly rich mixture. The smoke is the un- burned fuel and is a product of poor combustion.

1/30/2016 10:20pm Bikes don't vapor lock in 12 minutes at 50 degrees ambient. Yamaha's have had their share of mystery bogs and cut outs due to wiring harness issues since 14. Watch in the pits- some blue teams remove the body work and wash most of the bike by hand to avoid introducing water to the harness. I know if one team...

1/17/2016 11:02am So Commons just didn't know? That's why he went acros the country for one AX ? That's why he said he needed to do the road to SX in Racer X ? That seems plausible.

1/17/2016 10:24am Commons did Not qualify under the rules in any of those years - he did not ride AX last year- that negates 2015, he did not win A class in 2013 or 2014 You see, under the current rules, which refers to previous years, you have to apply the rules in place at that time- thus - Commons was not...

1/17/2016 10:16am Slow Old Guy clearly shows how it Was in 2013. Not how it was in 14, 15 or 16- which are all different.

1/17/2016 8:58am Read the latest rules. Only way in without AX is a foreign license

1/17/2016 8:54am Not trying to take anything away from Zac and his top 20 last night- calling Bullsh#t in the rule and AMA willingness to ignore the rules whenever the whim strikes them. Pro am points don't qualify you anymore. Does not matter. Also, most of these kids ride Monster Cup ( which is a better test of their readiness than the...

1/17/2016 8:12am Zac may have met the criteria two years ago- but not this year. Alexander Frye had to go to a bunch of rounds to get his points last year- last year you only had to qualify for the night show ( top 30 qualifying time) to get your point- this year it is top 16 I believe, and you have...

1/17/2016 6:28am The Road to SX is as laughable as the AMA Is at enforcing their own rules.. The favorites get special treatment whether it be gate pics or parking spots in the pits. The rules are clear on qualifying for SX license and the AMA officials allowed Commons to race without going through the same hoops as other riders. The loophole...

7/13/2014 7:35pm I watch the amateur scene pretty closely - and the races I have seen( World Mini for example) and more recently Mammoth Surratt has been laying down competitive laptimes with the A class leaders.... Yep "squid mom" smart money is betting against that kid.... Lol Worth is a good bet to be up there as well as he seems to...

5/21/2014 6:09pm Good to see him come out for the fun of it.... It seems like some pros lose sight of why they started racing in the first place.... Good luck Christian!

5/20/2014 8:54pm Well I know what DB stands for LL qualifier in Cal - DB Was that 2XL owner/promoter in the video trying to break it up? Last time I checked, LL qualifiers are AMA sanctioned..... I have a problem with "sometimes" rules for "some" and not others. From what I have seen - I bet nothing happens...

5/20/2014 8:35pm So..... Who thinks Kip Bigelow will take appropriate action in this situation. Like I have said before, I keep an eye on amateur racing and it seems more and more like who you know matters more than where you finish or what the rule book says.... ...Come on AMA- the ball is in your court!

5/20/2014 6:48pm While I don't think legal action is necessary, I do think the AMA and any race promoters involved should take swift action...We will see if rules speak louder than Monster dollars and connections.
