Holy crap. It will be interesting to see if more comes out. My bet is Deegans, Cotter and Yamaha all keep quiet. If so I'm betting they are guilty.Finally a real moto journalist....OMG, I just used the phrase real moto journalist referring to Chris Cooksey.
Certainly, take this with a grain of salt. But if 1/2 of it is true, wow just wow.
But at least we now know who the claimant was.
I just got done reading that. Good article and cool that ESPN would put it in the spotlightHow a country music icon and the superstars of motocross built -- and saved -- a legendary race
When a flood destroyed Loretta Lynn's home, the motocross community rallied to save it -- and the legacy they built together.www.espn.com
I basically started crying at the end of that article. Great read.I just got done reading that. Good article and cool that ESPN would put it in the spotlight
It was a mod class, I don't think there are any restrictions other than displacement.That's enough for me. That motor was not legal if it had unobtainable parts in it. Cheating.
He is.Matt Walker, is a douche bag obviously.
I have heard that the dealership agreements are very short, it would most likely just not be renewed.And if they pulled that s**t with the dealer it would have been a huge law suit by the dealer against Yamaha
Agree 100 percent!Once again, it is a "amateur" race. These kids are racing factory equipment. Father's being paid. It's freaking nuts anymore. Not sure why anyone wants to waste their money on Loretta's.
Weight is the only other restriction I believe.It was a mod class, I don't think there are any restrictions other than displacement.
He is.

Agree 100 percent!
watched that interview and I would of done the same thing.I like this kid!
Moto x Matt walker place not club mxThe kid worked at club MX doing mechanic work to earn the money. He said he didn't have enough at the regional saved up yet. That kid is pretty genuine and legit.
Yep and Matt Walker was part of why he gave the claim up. That's effed up.Moto x Matt walker place not club mx
Bullshit. Cotter needs to listen to himself talk for 5 minutes before he even starts talking. Guaranteed cotter put tons of pressure on the kid. I watched that video. Bet it went down very close to what the kid claims. Why does he have any reason to lie? And if his engine builder did even say do it and I will build your engines free or what ever, who cares! It's all perfectly legal under the rule book! Bottom line is, Star and Yamaha F'ed up. They put him on a full factory bike and someone claimed it. I bet the PC bikes are just as good. Guy should be claiming them at regionals. They have enough trick accessories on them to make them worth it.Yep and Matt Walker was part of why he gave the claim up. That's effed up.
DC claims that the meeting was only 5 mins in the trailer with Tim Cotter and that he was just ensuring he wanted to claim the bike. LOL
