Looking into the B classes and Schoolboy Classes and even Supermini, if you were to try and pick up some riders for Factory Support, who would you go after???
B Classes-
1. Hammaker. Kid has raw speed and works his butt off. If I were TLD KTM, Geico/AMS Oil Honda, and even PC, I would look at grabbing this guy for his final year in A class and carry him into the pros for a year or 2.
2. Marchbanks. He has hauled the mail all week so far, but I think he may have a PC ride already??
Schoolboy-
Jalek Swoll. I think he may already have a tie to Husky, but I am not sure.
Supermini-
Ty Masterpool. Get him off a TM and onto something better going into big bikes....Yamaha should have a spot open up with Justin Cooper getting a pro deal.
Would love to hear everyone's thoughts!!!

It goes without saying I think Seth should sign a contract that takes him into the pro's but I'm biased. Great kid, hard worker. Doesn't train/ride full time at a training facility, gets it done in his small backyard turn track.
Swoll is legit. If I'm not mistaken, he is signed into his pro career.
Ty Masterpool absolutely should be getting a ride from someone. Too much talent there not to be on a major team.
Mason Gonzales is another that should be getting a shot with a team. Super fast, very nice smooth style. Worked with Tichenor for a while. Good kid!

And "anyone else I forgot"
i was REALLY surprised that Swoll didn't race the 250B and Schoolboy2 classes this year, it seems odd to win the 125 and schoolboy1 classes last year and race those same two this year but not bump into the more competitive B classes.
also yesterday after Pierce passed Halpain, i was shocked to see Halpain still bombing that big quad... seemed unnecessary at that point and unfortunately it bit him in the ass. bummer for him, fast kid.

If so, drop a brother a txt or e-mail.
