Good luck!

I saw Joey and Darrian Sanayai a few years ago at Walton, Canada and was very impressed. Joey won and beat a very fast Kaven Benoit second moto and Kaven has put in a top 20 result in the US.

joey definitely has the potential to be top 15 if not top 10. if he can keep it on two wheels and stay healthy. he was always right there with forkner and sexton growing up. and he beat justin cooper straight up at baja mx at the area qualifier. very fast kid.

He didn't set the world on fire in the AM's , but he did good enough for me to think he is a top 15 rider if everything goes right. I doubt top 10 , since that class is stacked , but 15th or better.....I wouldn't bet against it.

Last year at baja he was insanely fast.

Think he will get a PC ride next year?

Very often a poor marker for pro success. The guys who are a step off the Horizon Award winners each year are even further behind when heading into the pros. Even the very top amateur kids struggle at first, Forker is by far the exception and not the rule.

That said I wish him the best of luck. Amazing thing to live a dream like that.

Kid is legit and going to be a star. Saw him in person racing at Walton a couple years ago in MX2 as a pro-am rider, he was very impressive.

Hes not on a factory bike, so I'm going to say 14-11. I think that track will suit him

Babbitts sponsored bike running engines from the pro circuit exchange program. His dad Matt does excellent suspension work, joeys lap times running MCR suspension vs factory connection proved that. He's going to do well!
