I’d like to ask those five people if they could suggest conceivable reasons why the claim would be rescinded.
Go!
The Shop
The 'industry' can forgive drug users beating up women, endorsing thieving engine builders, covertly videoing people while they pee, not paying your riders and mechanics, and all manner of things, but they will not stand for using a claiming rule... which is in the rule book. That's right up there with wearing an AMA parody helmet.
Don't get me wrong I'd never claim a bike and I don't like the idea of it, but there must be easier ways to cap spending (regulated specifications / a list of permissable modifications like almost all other forms of motor racing)?
Lastly, if they are gonna keep this claiming rule, surely they need to update the price? You could probably lose an otherwise stock Austrian bike with just a pipe, a KYB conversion and some plastics nowadays and still be out of pocket at 200%, let alone 130% elsewhere.
If the guy is fast and has potential, there’s no way this would prevent him from getting a ride with a different manufacturer. Yamaha might feel salty about it, but other brands CGAF.
I'm a fan of Deegan too. I think he is going to go on to do great things in the sport. I think he is a champion in the making.
Keep the jealousy coming ladies, you can get this to 10 pages still.....
Could this all have been a mind game? Deegan of course could not win 250B but 100% was the fastest 250B rider out there. Could a team or family make this claim in hopes he didn't have a second bike or the second bike was not as fast? Trying to give that other riders a better shot at Schoolboy 2 championship?
Also, to add I wish they had to release who put in the claim. Could it have been KTM or Team Green who put in the claim in hopes to get Dax or Boespflug a championship in Schoolboy 2?
Pit Row
So, I would assume a claim mid race or between classes would be handled in the same manner. The rules state a claim can be entered anytime during the meet up to 30 minutes after the race results.
Edit: For the question on multiple bikes. When you enter you must list the VIN for each bike and class. You must ride the same bike entered in each class for the complete meet. If you get caught swapping bikes you would be DQ'd.
I suppose they could do an engine swap, but the one they took out must remain in impound?
I’m no hater kid has the skills no questions
Edit he’s no kid now he’s a young man
I’ve seen a few topics over the years
with his name as the topic and not about his great riding skills

And ha ho longsucker strikes again
No way Brian was smart enough to concoct this whole "claim" and "rescind" with one of his buddies purely for the marketing of the Deegan name... Naahhhh, not possible!
