tbright80 Added a reply to Genova on Motoconcepts Honda
3/16/2017 11:35am Maybe some more factory equipment for 2018 since Jmart will piloting a 450 for Geico next year or even a rider from Geico's current roster could be traded to MCR next year that would field a 3rd 450 spot if Genova and Tony are able to secure more funding from Honda. Either way it's great to see Genova looking out...

tbright80 Added a reply to Anderson learned of his penalty from Jenny Taft
1/22/2017 8:18am Feld is worried about professionalism yet the sanctioning body at their races cannot even notify a rider of his punishment before a pit reporter has to tell the rider their fate? Haha what a joke.
tbright80 Added a reply to When did you quit?
2/18/2016 6:55pm Ah man 2012 would be the year I decided to move on from racing. I was 22 years old at the time and in my sixth year of professional racing. My reason for stepping away was simply due to burnout. I was tired of dedicating my whole life to racing dirt bikes and not seeing the results I expected. The...
tbright80 Added a reply to MXGP at Charlotte Motor speedway
10/14/2015 7:44am You're exactly right Jefro98... Bruton Smith owns like 7-8 of the Nascar tracks currently raced at and I'm sure writing a check to host a GP at his baby (Charlotte MS) was chump change compared to what it is in the Nascar world. I know it sounds crazy, but I could actually see a reasonable attendance show up for this...

10/29/2014 9:50am Quick note: the purse may have changed for this upcoming race season or possibly last race season. The numbers I used in the post above were from the 2012-2013 race season. After the series concludes, the champion of each pro class gets an additional $1,000.

10/29/2014 9:40am Victory-Sports Indoor series pays $700-750 per main event win with four mains each round and there is six rounds in the series. If you race a Suzuki in the series then it is $200 per main event win, so $800 per round. Main Event Wins: (4) Payout per main: ($700) Number of rounds: (6) Suzuki contingency: ($800 x 6) Gross...
tbright80 Added a reply to Tedesco - Last Lap No Helmet
7/14/2014 1:50pm From what I saw, Tedesco ran no helmet from the downhill before mechanic's area to the finish line. Helmet was around his elbow and he was on the furthest edge of the track. I saw an Ama or Mxsports official stop him right after exiting the track. I'm sure he was just overheated and had to figure out a way...
tbright80 Added a reply to Is there a shortage of blue material in Maryland?
7/12/2014 8:40pm Yeah it was Martin and #70 after the second moto. Not sure what happened between the two, but I saw martin rev his bike and throw his hand up at the rider then have a discussion afterwards. The lappers interfered in almost every moto today. In the first 250 moto, Webb was coming up on a pack of lappers before...

tbright80 Added a reply to Purse money = Laughable
4/29/2014 3:03pm In 2008, I raced 450 Supercross and the payout was $750 to make a night show and $2100 to make a main event. I made 4 mains that year and collected $8,000 to 10,000 in payout money plus $2500 in privateer money from U.S. smokeless tobacco. I think Paul Carpenter won the U.S. smokeless tobacco privateer award in 2008 and...
tbright80 Added a reply to Being a 12th place rider or never raced and have your health and a good job?
4/15/2014 12:45pm Best answer! I feel like the options feed off each other. They are a lot of retired professionals who were 10-15th place guys, left the sport healthy and now have good jobs.
tbright80 Added a reply to Collegiate Motocross Teams
4/10/2014 12:27pm I am transferring to East Carolina in January and would love to start this similar type of program. I know of three people who race/ride that attend ECU, so maybe there could be a chance. ECU supports a snowboarding team and if you know where ECU is located you would never think a snowboarding team existed. I think there is...
tbright80 Added a reply to Suzuki Contingency
11/12/2013 9:13pm I raced this past winter at all the Victory-Sports indoor races that ran through Nov to feb and was finally paid in the spring time around April or May. I know suzuki posted a few payments in the beginning, but went into hiatus mode until they finally added the rest in one big installment. I think I spoke to Suzanne...
tbright80 Added a reply to new alternative outdoor series?
10/17/2013 3:12pm I'm surprised that mxsports and other track promoters haven't brought the 4 stroke national series back to life again. The series did well throughout the 90s and early 2000s, delivering factory and privateer talent to local tracks across the east and west coast. The series provided racers another source of income and a great way to stay in shape during...
tbright80 Added a reply to AMA National MX Purse Money?
6/4/2013 9:32pm The purse is non public information , Therefore the purse can change whenever it's needed to be changed. Privateers have that never give up attitude,but eventually when you wake up and figure out there's no hope or future you'll be around 23-25 years old and want have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of...

1/29/2013 4:24pm It's up to the top riders to change the sport !!! They know the other guys are racing for minimum wage income if they were not to race and stand up for the privateers things will change. These factories paying riders 500,000- 1 million salaries is somewhat pointless let the outside sponsors take care of their paycheck and spread that...

5/7/2012 6:19pm Riders union would help our broke ass living out of a rust bucket privateers who sacrifice their childhood,high school,prom and teenage life to bust ass everyday do whatever it takes and then go out and make a solid coupld hundred bucks for their 15 yr effort trying to get the pro scene.The thing about other sports is that if you...
