91 entries in the 450 class. Full gate LCQ Keeping an eye on MXKing's little bro, #875 Blake Rivard. Hope he doesn't need the consolation race, but it's his first attempt at cracking a pro mx 450 field.

Somebody who seemed knowledgeable about him (maybe you?) posted in the last AH thread that he's not quite fast enough on a Supercross track to make the nite show, but is capable of a top 40 fast lap. In order to make the nite show he would have to beat one of the 18 or 19 factory bikes, or out...

Understanding how the IRS uses DIF scoring to determine which returns are likely to have overstated deductions, or understated income, is essential when advising clients with respect to aggressive positions taken concerning deductions. A taxpayer with an inherently low DIF score is much less likely to be scrutinized for their items of expense. If a client is using their business...

The sponsorship/advertising vs. hobby issue rears its ugly head again. I would be more inclined to follow the rationale of this OP than what I have previously seen posted on this topic by guys like moto810 and a few others. The touchstone for the IRS revolves around the phrase "ordinary and necessary." Write off anything you want while trying to...

Remove the plug and use your finger over the plug bore. You will feel the compression build as long as you're not on the exhaust stroke. The open exhaust valve on the exhaust stroke will be evident from a lack of compression, when the motor is on the exhaust stroke.

I would say go for it, but before you do check out prices for flights. Air fare was unusually low recently and you may be able to fly for about the same as it would cost to drive. The traffic on the 95 corridor is always heavy, and there are many high priced tolls that increase the cost of driving...

The cost to field a competitive 250 may be keeping some of the smaller teams away, but there are usually a contingent of locals who welcome a once a year chance to measure themselves against the fastest in the sport. Most local pros in the NESC series have a 450, and a 250 2 Stroke to run in the 250...

How can you guarantee that? Have you ever seen an instance where there were more riders attempting to qualify than were on the entry list? I haven't. To the best of my knowledge a rider must be entered in the event in order to get an "MX Sports" sticker on their number plate which allows them to enter the track...

If you "couldn't care less" you are at the absolute bottom of the "caring" scale. If you could care less, then you must have some measurable amount of care which would be susceptible to decreasing down to the level where you "couldn't care less." That's my take based on a literal interpretation.

Rolando is #144, and he's on the 450 entry list which says he's racing an RMZ, and he's from the Phillipines. From what I understand about the 3D operation, the riders are generally required to contribute to the team financially. It's not uncommon for foreign riders to end up under the 3D awning, and Featherstone was racing out of the...

Closing in on one hundred entries for outdoor motocross. Still time to sign up for anybody who isn't in yet. Prizes should be excellent with $10,000 in the pool. The prizes are split up nicely between weekly and seasonal winners, and the triple crown. There are lots of chances to recover your investment and the entire pool is distributed in...
