I like that concept.. Just park a big rig in the pits and split the money amongst the team managers and owners.

It could work.
Just put the stands under the awning and fans will think the riders are out on the track!

H & H has aquired Dodge as a sponsor. But no riders as of yet. The chancability of the team is dwindling. Then KW will have to return his new Benzo.

The dust has settled and Stroupe, Reed and Wey are left, maybe others. He sounded like he was interested in Wey for real after the last pulpmx show.

Do you think it would be a big step down for someone like Reed to join that team or can the team step up its' levels?

kdub did act as though he really wanted to talk to tricky nicky off air, but who knows if thats real...stroupe already shot them down..My opinion is that with a major title sponsor stepping in, like dodge, theycould support a top rider like reedy. I still think it could happen...I like the whole deal they have had going the last couple years, but its hard to get on board and really pull for them when Boni and Blose are battling for 8th or 12th..nothing against them, i know both dealt w/ injuries last year. Just sayin if they had a podium contender or a guy going after wins, every joker in the building would be wearing H&H gear

You're right, that's horrible!.8th or 12th.... gosh.... privateers should be able to do better than that!! especially injured privateers. Factory riders won't even race with the injuries these two guys had....Give me a break!! Angry You might need to know that both these guys are just 22. Lots of potential. What do you say when potential podium contenders get an 8th or a 12th or LAST?? It really does happen!!.....

I know you are sticking up for chris and i really think he has done a good job but I get his point...when a team has no other representation other than the 8 to 12 range it gets hard to keep track of them and get totally behind them. I think it was more a comment on what H&H needs to get to the next level of exposure than a cut at chris, but that is just my opinion.



This was the point in the other thread though, everyone needs thicker skin and to try not to take things so personally.

Mercedes owns Dodge now. A few free trucks do not go far.

That marriage ended quickly. Chrysler owns Dodge, and Chrysler is now owned primarily by the UAW, US Govt and Canadian Govt.

in my humble opinion stroupe should have signed. He's a good rider, but is in danger of getting left out in the cold.

Austin's dad is not gonna let him ride if they do not pay the big bucks.

Why are you people concerned so much about H&H anyway? Seems to me, they don't need any riders to keep everyone interested in what they are doing.

But, to respond to your post...mr mxpitt23 could have made his point without naming any names. Huh How does anyone know that Chris or Matt won't be a podium contender next season? I can tell you for sure, Chris is healthy and ready to race. And he will make any team that signs him proud next season. Futher more....I can't believe anyone would rag on an 8th or 12th place finish in a main event, especially with the depth of competition we are seeing now. Whistling
