Please tell BEN SPIES ……NOT TO KILL THE MotoAmerican !!! SUPERBIKE !!! That would be a blow to our series and development of our riders !!

I kinda understand what you're going through. I had my neck fused two years ago, and the recovery sucks. Good luck in your recovery, and hopefully, it heals up completely.

Great podcast, yall asked excellent probing questions. I do find his comments interesting, per their own numbers, this is by far the least viewed year in a long time. Sure the social media is growing in terms of followers but the engagement rations are down as well. Attendance in person is a little lower than last year as well. Think that will change once Ohio is posted but who knows.

One of my favorite racers, cam Pete is wicked good rider!!

I had no idea you had such a horrible crash! Glad you are healing and hope to see you racing again Cam, or if not racing doing something you enjoy. Good luck to you Sir!

SDK calling it next year is his year.

Keep it up fellas. Bringing people on to give us the inside scoop on how things are ran, will only help the sport grow!

Thanks guys and good luck champ!

I really miss SBK at Laguna.

Go Cam

James and Cory, awesome podcast! Chuck is such a quality person, and we are so lucky he is involved in the growth of our domestic series. I feel Wayne, Chuck and the whole team are coming from the right place to continue to grow Motoamerica, and work toward finding more talent to compete and succeed in Europe. And congratulations on becoming a part of Live+, I'll be looking forward to your program.

MotoAmerica already has a rider who can go to Europe and win world championships. Her name is Kayla. Maybe she has her sights set higher than a women’s world championship, but she has the potential to take a world title if she wants it. A world champ is a world champ, and it would be cool to have her name added to the list of American world champs.

Congrats to you all on being added to MotoAmerica Live+. I enjoyed listening to this episode and getting to know Chuck. I see him around but didn’t know much about his background. Looking forward to listening to more episodes. You two are doing a great job hosting and wishing you both the best in racing for the remaining season.

Great insight from a fantastic guest! You’re both very good interviewers, the guest always seem comfortable. Thanks for the most informative bike racing podcast

Shakey sounds like a great manager! Glad to see he’s managing American riders.

It’s sad that Pitt won’t come back. It’s not a round that I can attend from my locale, but the energy was palpable thru the screen. The track was visually exciting to watch, too. Pitt was a payoff for subscribers, even if the attendance capacity is limited. I think it would be cool to do a middle distance endurance race at COTA, similar to the 200, but with Superbikes. Not in September. During the preseason if it can be done without overshadowing the 200.

If Keith Code says you're fast you're definitely FAST!

It's great to see the pod taking off. Corey, I love my Gasolina coffee, tee shirt, and stickers. The Junkers did an awesome job with that artwork.

Chuck is a G! Underrated figure in American racing.

I was brainstorming and was wondering if a supermoto class with the 450 motocross bikes would be possible. might bring over more of the supercross fans. tracks like road america would probably need some kinks on the straights, but those 450's would finally have a platform where they need all that power lol. Mid Ohio would be a really good candidate for that because it already has the shortcut that halves the back straight. for superbike/supersport, a fly away round to anywhere in europe would be amazing too. would be great exposure for the talent currently in the series. BSB went to Assen a couple times, but I know it would be really tough for American teams to make that trip :( I do think this season is the best season so far for Moto America :)

Cam's uncle David Petersen raced the 500 GP's between 1984 - 1986 and was a Suzuki factory rider for HB Suzuki Team Gallina in 1986. Another uncle, Keith Petersen, was a mechanic for Jon Ekerold in 1980 when he won the world 350 championship.

Hay guys, I am Jamin Mathis the owner of Wrench Motorcycles. I normally enjoy the podcast and listen to it frequently on the long drive from LA to Chuckwalla but not so much this one, Bobby did great and represented the team like a pro should. I am always grateful after seeing Bobby give an interview. However, Cory said something along the lines of Wrench Motorcycles aren't anything or we really don't do anything. I imagine that what Cory said was not intended to be dismissive or hurtful but I do want to correct the record. Wrench motorcycles has made many of the parts in house on the bike that Bobby is riding. This includes many of the carbon fiber bodywork parts, the swingarm, the fuel tank and many many other small parts all over the bike. We are a prototyping shop and we are trying to make a line of parts for sale but racing has become too much of a work load for a 2 person shop to accomplish this goal. Cory also said that he and I know each other. I personally would not say that we know each other, I can not remember us ever exchanging a single word but we certainly know of each other from our common time spent out at Chuckwalla. I'd like to correct that someday and properly introduce myself to Cory and James at a CVMA round in the soon. Please keep up the normally good work and Good luck in Ohio! Oh and if your wondering where the funding comes from for a competitive superbike team....? It comes from the mass production of pornography... The really nasty kind... The kind that makes it hard to look at yourself in the mirror after seeing it and realize the you like it... Nah Just kidding my wife is a badass corporate Lawyer who really enjoys owning a race team and I'm just a Moto-Wrench who is lucky enough to be tolerated by her. Be well Fellas!

lol, this weekend I ran my personal best at a track day event and after I finished a 20 minute session I came to pull in. When I went to stop I almost dropped bike and banged it off the rev limiter for about 3 seconds trying to hold it up. So embarrassing…..It’s harder on this body at 46 😂

I’ve ridden almost all my life (in my 50’s). Love bikes and racing. Trackdays, club racing, coaching, done all that. But listening to these guys trading away their youth, education, family and often their health for a maybe opportunity…it’s kinda terrible. Obviously the industry is at a low point but to work so hard and sacrifice so much for a few good years. Man, it’s just tough to hear. These interviews are amazing and revealing so glad I stumbled in here. Keep up the good work.

Would be amazing if you can interview Scholtzie post racing.

Awesome podcast awesome guest.

30:30 pretty sure he said "nice punt asshole" to which danny eslick said "hey kiss my ass" on live tv lol

One of my favotite episodes. Awesome job again yall

😢 Wow!!! He reminds me that a person can die without nutrition.

Awesome videos keep them coming How do I order pipedream t shirts?

Bobby Fonger!!!😅🎉

Bobby hit the nail on the head about the younger racers hanging out in Jr Cup and/or Twins Cup instead of getting on a supersport bike. I remember Gerloff and Lewis going at it in the WERA National Challenge series on their 600s, both 15 years old. When they turned 16, they jumped up to AMA supersport. However, you can't compare racing supersport in 2024 to supersport racing 15 years ago. How many paid or free supersport rides are there in 2024? My guess is three maybe four each. Everyone else has to pay. The 120-150k for a supersport ride is out of reach for many so Jr Cup and Twins keeps them in the paddock. Also, Bobby mentioned DiMario. He's only 15 and unable to race supersport. He will be there in 2025.. Reply

What an awesome pod, it’s amazing to hear how these great riders have gotten to the level are at!! Thank you guys!

I have to say, it’s super refreshing to hear someone oh his caliber to be so straightforward and honest about the sport, the behind the scenes stuff, and what it really takes to make it to that level. What an awesome guest and interview! I really enjoy your fresh take on a podcast from a racers perspective. Well done! 👊🏻👊🏻

Thank you for not hot micing each other so much. Great podcast🔥

WOW, thank you James and Corey for this amazing Podcast. I agree with one of the comments below saying MotoAmerica should get behind your effort, your interviews with these amazing racers are genuine & honest. We're all fortunate for your efforts. What more needs to be said about Cam P??!! I was lucky to have met him in '19 at Supercamp, he is an amazing young man from an equally amazing family. See you all at Mid-Ohio!!

Not a easy subject to speak about. I hope he gets better and that he can really come back at 100 percent. ❤😅

People honestly don’t realize how many people in racing have that kind of weight on their shoulders. It’s a bit more out in the open with motocross. But for every champion, there’s dozens of bankrupt families who put everything into their efforts. Cam’s story is yet another inspiring journey. This podcast should really be getting aggressively pushed by motoamerica. The depth (grit) of the grid is really fascinating.

Another epic show by everybody great job team💪

Just saw you at Sears Point practicing- had I known. Arm pump is devastating. It seems a mix between Compartment Syndrome and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Not purely mechanical either, so don't dismiss a percentage attributed to 'stress'/ mind set. The motocross Pros/ Docs are a great resource to understand and overcome it. Preparation, clear mind, water, and oxygen. Those not having AP don't understand. Been there. Good luck!(Came back to add: www.youtube.com/@TrainandMassage, & don't muscle build that arm- keep it weak/ wimpy. My 2 cents

Damn dude, Cam has gone thru it. He's doing great this year, hope he keeps the momentum!

2 45 of Cam... im here for it..

Cam Pete’s the GOAT 🔥🫡

Love these podcast guys, keep it up!

Keep on keeping on guys! Love your content it’s super informative!

I'd like to advocate for the twin's cup class. we need to encourage engineering in our sport and twins cup is the only class that is giving a path for teams to develop the bikes. Id encourage people to think of twins cup a training ground for superbike teams because of the ability to modify the bikes.

I will argue with anyone that I have always been Bobby’s biggest fan. But this interview just totally solidified that and upped my fan girl status a million times. He’s not only the best on track, he’s the best in life overall. Much respect and mad props to the man who deserves it all. Thank you guys for this!!! #FongforLife #50 🧡🧡🧡

Good point and its true. Racing is important to many when its close and exciting. Its good for the sport in a good direction. 🎉🎉

Bobby Baggers!!! Heading to Lagunas 🎉🎉😅

Always been a fan of Bobby! Awesome interview so honest and direct. I’ve been bike racing fan my whole life at 67 years old now. Over a dozen club titles since the 80s till 2009. Pro SB x 5, etc. 2005, AMA nationals x3 in 05, Qualified with my street bike. , always top 10 CDN nationals. Love to have a beer with you guys! Respect! You Bagger guys are nuts! Love
