The Shop
He has a real job and is sleeping in a tent at the track with his dog, so on paper he isn’t a contender, but he wasn’t in ‘89, either.
but in reality, Ryno:
(a) under-estimated this competition by not bringing his personal CRF 450 WE with him, or;
(b) is riding an old (although probably excellent) restored smoker to get more attention, and therefore more IG followers? If he does well on the old bike people will talk about it for a long time.
Hughes is kind of an attention whore in his old age, so my guess is the second one.
He did beat Emig and Nicholl solidly in the LL qualifiers, so he has the pace.
but I guess we have to wait till Wednesday to find out, WTF do I know...
If so, just like Emig, he chose a less than competitive bike so he has a built in excuse if he doesn’t win. Maybe it’s just me, but if you have access to any equipment you want, why would you bother to invest all the time, effort, and money it takes to race Loretta’s, then show up on anything less than the best equipment available to you? Unless your goal is to be an entertaining side show rather than a national champion, I suppose.
I personally hope Emig proves me wrong, but I doubt it.

Sometimes us fans take this shit more serious than the guys twisting the throttle.....
I could easily see Brown or Ryno taking someone out for the win, those guys are animals on the track and go into Beast mode.
Don't see anyone beating Brown on his 450 though.
He may be old, but he still has an ego
