I don't get it

He's 29th oa in points and hardley makes 2 points a round. You would think they would try to get someone like Chris Blose or a number of other guy's who have popped inside the top 10 a few times.

Funny thing happened on the way to the track....

some guy complained about how if only some good teams wouold give 3digit privateers a chance on good equipment, you never know what might happen.

It's lightning in a bottle.

I am happy as hell to see some teams do things like this. You never know who may shine bright as hell.

Chris not racing the last two rounds probably didn't help his stock. Woulda been nice, though.

Just heard confirmation Ben Lamay will race a JGR ride at Steel City also. Best of luck to both guys, I hope they make the most of it.

Come on 500 guy. Don't lose you're christmas spirit. Be happy for the kid.

Blose got some travel fare and free bikes in his day, now it's Borky and Lamay's turn to see what they can do with the little chance.

Tru dat, but at least Lamay has been riding yamaha's. Sean is going to have a rather large adjustment.

Last round of a long series, hes tired, his bike(s) is/are tired, his budget is tired, dont be bitter a guy gets a once in a lifetime shot. It's not like they signed them, just have some bikes available and guys without other serious obligations.

How many established "middle pack" riders already commitments with sponsors? This sounds like it was put together last minute, because of the loss of the current riders due to injury.

Sounds like a win, win situation for all involved!
