Any thoughts on the him ?,. Great results for an old vet rider. Imo.
He looked really, really good. It was pretty damn cool to see him out there railing.
Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself. You've got to believe in foolish miracles. It's not how you play the game, it's if you win or lose. You can choose. Don't confuse. Win or lose. It's up to you!
Is there still a spot open on the Puerto Rican MXDN team? Between the US and Puerto Rican team that would be 4 Huskies!
Agreed, there should be a 2 year or so gap between winning purse money and racing for a national am championship.

It's already just about 2 seasons (season before and current season). It only includes AMA Nationals, SX, and GPs, though.
It should be 5 years from last points scored, so you could technically qualify for a National but if you finish 35th it wouldn't count. 5 years for a "regular" National point scorer, 7-10 for former Champions.
It's been done before yes but the rules changed this year. If a B rider comes up to race a pro national he'll be force to move up to the A class no matter the result he achieves. Previously a B rider could come race a national and stay in the B class.
At Deschambault 2 weeks ago B rider Tanner Ward went 2-2 for 2nd overall. I can see him being moved up to A class but if a B rider doesn't score any points or doesn't achieve a top 20 result I don't see why he couldn't stay in the B class.
Either way the rule change has forced some B riders to delay their pro debut in order to keep their B class eligibility for Loretta's.

Brown raced a class that is only limited by age, not skill.
Its a national championship for the fastest 40+ year old rider, pro or not. Don't want to race against pros, than go find a skill-based class.
pretty simple really.

Rules need to change.
That was 16 yrs ago...You make it sound like Brown did something wrong....Now if he would have raced in the 30+ or 45+ then you would be correct...If you don't want to race against those guys there are two classes for you to race in without them....but then again if you don't like Brown racing those classes then you should also work on getting John Grewe tossed out because nobody wants to get smoked by a 51yr old...

Edited Date/Time:
Man you guys complained and said he sandbagged Loretta's now you're complaining when he races a pro class?? Make up your damn minds!

It's only his first moto since turning pro, but it looks like the kid might turn out to be ok.
