Mike Brown is a beast....winter edition

[bruceb]

First I will preface this for Robin. Feel free to refernce this thread in August if I think someone is taking the 25+ (and 40+) title from Brown at the ranch.
Today at the GH Vet nationals, MB ran lap times comparable to Mike Alessi in taking 2nd place both motos.

Comparable to who???? I'm actually disappointed. Thought Brownie would have crushed him.

I think ole Mike Alessi is probably still VERY fast against your joe blow local A riders.

Further proof that Mike Brown doesn't belong racing VET classes at LL.

No s**t? He still rides pro

Brown said on Monday hes more than likely done racing. Full time trainer at bakers factory.

What's more remarkable is that they had over 1600 entry's.

Where’s he supposed to race then?

 

[MX_Implements]

Nationals and supercross.

Was that over all three days? 1600 is gnarly.

If Lorettas wants to have a class for guys like Brown, it should be a Vet Pro class. I've said it a million times, it is the "Amateur" Nationals. I don't care if your in the Vet class, if you rode Pro class for money, your not an Amateur.

 

[bruceb]

You do realize that Pro/Sport riders can compete in AMA pro nationals PRIOR to LL's, provided they score less than 40 pts and compete in less than 3 pro nationals. Iy is not a (pure) amateur event, and has never truly been.

Bruce, I am ready to pick Brown again next year in +25 against whatever fast guy you want. Real current top tier pro's aside, he will beat almost anyone. But I'm glad that you are realizing that the guy has a gift, and he's faster than your above average super fast amateur. I have to ride +50 before he turns 50, because he will crush that too with ease.

Robin: I was prepared to pick Alessi in 2020, as he is over 25 and had retired from AMA pro competiton after the 2017 SX season. Unfortunately, MCR had to pull him out of retirement during the 2019 SX season (which I believe he placed 13th in Seattle, and earned enough point to secure a top 100 number). So, at this point I do not see anyone taking the 25+ title from Brown. On the other hand, I can't wait for Brown to turn 50. If people think there is an uproar now, just wait til he (Brown) bypasses the 25+ class and goes for the 40+ and 50+ titles. Of course, he will have to take the 50+ title from Grewe...obviously kidding as we have the past 2 years of Brown vs Grewe in the 40+ to see how the 50+ will play out

 

[John250]

Grewe is fast, but not Brown fast. He will stop the days of Grewe's #1 plates.

 

[Vet261]

You all must be forgetting that I turn 50 next year! Grewe who?

 

[John250]

I just turned 50 too. We are almost as old as Hershey.

 

[RocketRobin]

Alessi may eventually go back to Loretta's to win some titles and be the winningest rider in LL history again sometime!!!!

 

[GeorgiePorgie]

I’ll be there to beat his ass to the first turn.

 

[John250]

I tried to look up LL Championships yesterday to see who has the most, etc. I can not seem to find a current list easily available.
