That's what I said.  I was standing there with a pipe for my 125SX of Doom, and I said "hey you give Ricky pipes don't you?" 

he said "yea, and he is going to be doing the nationals this year on the 125."

I said, "you've got to be shitting me."

he said, "no sir."

aww hell, i'm surprised he hasn't reached out to tsm, if anything a couple extra bottles of cold water in his cooler after slamming that 125 around ever turn for 30+2

all I know is that the closest national to Ricky's house is Budds Creek, and I will be there.  If he really does show to any of them, even one, it'll be Budds.  I'll find him if he is there, I am thinking about flagging the finish line for the national.  I'd really like to just walk around and get drunk, maybe heckle a few certain industry people, but flagging gets you so close that you get hit with tear offs.

Chris made every SX main event this season. I was pretty impressed with that considering some of the guys who didnt. I dont think he's raced outdoors in a few years though. He should definitely be somewere in the top 20-25

Are you sure you're thinking about 2012?  I remember Blose missing a good portion of the season with a torn up shoulder.

Your right I have no idea why I typed "this", meant to say last sx season (as in 2011). Im still a season behind because this one sucked

By the way, Ricky Renner is not doing all the nationals.  From his Twitter he's considering doing 2.  Doesn't feel he has a chance in timed qualifying because of how deep the tracks get ripped.

Here is an interview with Blose.  They even get onto the subject of why someone racing a 2T gets so much attention but they seem to not understand why. Also, they don't touch on the cost factor of running a four stroke (esp at a national level) but its kind of implied -- "its my only bike right now"

still can't understand why 2 stroke hating fatthes is sponsoring him

[citabjockey]

He said that the two strokes get attention (but he really doesn't understand why). So he wants a piece of that attention. Not in so many words but that's what I got out of his side of the interview.

I wish someone would make the point sometime that the only reason 4 strokes dominate these days is because of rules -- not because they are inherently superior (cc for cc anyway).

Be Very suspicious of ANY race effort like this where known FOOPER TROOPERS are claiming to "Support" some kind of two stroke effort... BECAUSE it is very often a FRAUD....

Such as Sleeter's highly publicized and underwhelming effort of a few years ago... He talked it up about going out there on the 250, didn't qualify, and then used his time in the spotlight to say, "The whole time I was out there... I was wishing I could be on the new 350 Fooper..." The whole focus of that wormy publicity effort was to try to divert some of the 250SX's market share toward newly launched TubboTurd-350...

You would think that KTM would be behind their 250SX but in fact they are not, no matter what kind of bullshit they spew on glossy brochure pages...

KTM had a guy who's heart was into the 250SX, not some guy who barely qualifies NO MATTER what bike, but a guy who podiumed at Bercy... and they didn't support him or his people at all so that shows you where they stand.

SO... When you hear about a "Two Stroke Racing Effort" that has ANY ties to some kind of TUBBO-TURD faction or person like Matthes, [OR Basically... anyone collecting a paycheck at present from the rotting carcass of the sport/industry] take it with a grain of salt becuase it's very likely a fake and it's true intention is a very visible "Bike Failure" that the camera's will show and the announcers will mention, OR some other staged opportunity for nagative spin...

[Remember that when Brian Shukhart 414 ran well in the nationals in 09 and 10 he was never mentioned - and the guys who qualified last year and ran well at High Point were never mentioned]

After the mega fussed over FOOPER engines spent last years outdoor series popping like piglets in the microwave... the FOOPER sellers will be motivated to try to influence the market in more creative and shady ways. Whether that's FONDA buying out Cedric Soubeyras to stop the damage he was doing... or another method remeains to be seen.

Thanks,
