Man, I was looking at the fees for Loretta's. They are nuts. And just to go watch as a spectator is ridiculous. I would say from qualifier to Loretta's for two classes probably cost someone $6000 just guessing.
That $800 facility fee to drive a van in and out and go to a hotel is 100% bullshit! MX Sports is nothing more than a money grab. Loretta's absolutely is not worth it these days. Mini os is a better deal.
These guys rip. Then s**t like this happens. DeHoop got seriously injured at Daytona in 50 plus in 2021. Have never heard if he healed up from his serious crash or not.
Here is an update on Brownie. Sounds like a long road ahead yet. He has a "road to recovery" page. I would hope at this point in his career he would have invested in some good disability and health insurance. Makes me wonder.
Those top riders are just always on the gas. And it's not 1/2 or 3/4 throttle. They come out of the corners and the twist it hard all the time. That's where those seconds come off.
