Things We've Learned From Loretta's From Our Couch

Look, I have only been to Loretta’s once in my life. It was in 2010 and I wrote the worst race reports of all-time for this here website. [Ed Note: Facts!] It was not as a racer. I mean, sorry we cannot all be C class heroes like Chilidog. The next time I go to the Ranch it will be because I earned my way to it… but that is an entirely different article. Loretta’s is still such a magical place for me and I wanted to share some of my thoughts on what I learned from the week that was.

Special thanks to RacerTV for allowing me to witness all the best, worst, and cringeworthy moments.

“Everybody else I forgot” sure sponsors a lot of podium finishers!
Dax Bennick is a baddie for racing B class at 8 years old. AND he is the tallest prepubescent kid I have ever seen.
The A/Pro Sport classes have been deeper. The only factory rider should win them.
Haiden Deegan is going to be the guy that puts KTM’s 250 program back on top. It will be a dynasty. Or Max Vohland…or Nate Thrasher…or Seth Dennis.
The Suzuki amateur program should just jump into the pro ranks right now to save the brand. Oh wait, they are?
Kevin Kelly needs a raise and a TV job. He is great and has tremendous talent. Been saying this for years…and he does NOT need a laugh coach.
It was nice knowing Dilan Schwartz on a Suzuki…wonder what other brand will pick him up for next year?
Next year’s A/Pro Sport classes should be ALL TIME!
Levi Kitchen’s rides were so exciting I shit myself and had to visit the Levi bathroom.
Poor Jett Reynolds… he cannot catch a break. (Retract this statement if he wins the title he is in contention for.)
Ryder DiFrancesco should fill in for Pro Circuit this Summer. He is ready.
Shoutout to Barry Carsten for dropping the F bomb on the 50 plus podium! “Remember to check your effing lug nuts, kids!”
Drinking Game: Every time an 85/Supermini riders voice cracks on the podium you drink.
Stilez Robertson is still your 50/450 StockMod champion.
