What I was hearing today is that the new Brooks/McGrath team is an all-season team, not just Supercross only.

If that's true (and it came from someone I'd trust), what will the haters have to complain about now? Wink

Not sure, might be the end of the world....


Sounds like a cool team coming together. Really curious who they would be going after though. I'm assuming McGrath would be bringing honda on-board. Maybe someone like Regal or Hahn, or even Barcia if he moves up to the 450?

do you know if it'll be a 450 only effort?

If they run two strokes, everyone would be happy.

it will be interesting because Brooks doesn't screw around, he wants to contend right away.

This will work. My CEO and I use the same "good cop / bad cop" strategy to get things done in our company. I'll let others decide who will play which role on that team.

Sources close to me are saying it will only be a one off deal with RC at the Monster energy cup.

Unfortunately, I think he's still sucking up some rays on a vital beach somewhere.

Yes, and there are only about 4 contenders in the class and none of them are available.

I would guess they pick up Hill and someone else but they wont be winning championships any time soon.

I'll hold out judgement to see what is produced, then complain about it, if it warrants complaint.

If MC brings Honda with him I wonder how that will impact Reeds deal because you know he wants and deserves factory equipment.

I like Brooks and McGrath, but aren't they both a little old to be racing.......especially SX and outdoors? Smile

Hepler is retired. The interview in the latest MXA Broc says he still feels the effects of his concusions whenever he excercises. It sure sounded like he could never be at the physical condition required to race pro again.

Good article about him in the latest RacerX. In college now fully retired from pro racing.
