Has Cooksey not been talking about this for years? Give more money to the riders and not into the organisations back pocket

[@OneSon744]

Rhyno is like Alex Jones, he's 95% correct! Good job Johnny.

[@jimbo4203]

Loretta's is great for us fans 😊 class after class of full gate drops ! I always go brrraaappp

[@deanfloyd8931]

Somebody's getting 40th....why go?

[@deanfloyd8931]

Let's face it, it's an addiction being exploited by those who can.

[@brandoncounts711]

Should make all the loretta Lynn's regional qualifier races an actual round so 2 moto format from state to state class to class and make mini o's the final rounds with a smx style point system with 3 moto format for each class and then crown the champ. maybe add in the Carmichael supercross at daytona as the opener and those points go towards the supercross points at mini o's. So I digress lol

Meh, tell that (LL means nothing) to these kids racing it every year. Did I miss something? Regardless of costs, they still show up and I promise there are a lot of kids that can't wait to get there. Why take that away from them? It is competition at a very high level. Killing the sport, as you say, is combining all of the amateur nationals as suggested, Ryan. If you want to separate amateurs from pros and get rid of the off chance a privateer makes it, then do it, but don't take these kid's dreams away from them because you are trying to put more money in the pros pockets. WTF? So we don't have a true national champion. Who gives a fuck. It seems to work out just fine. Factory scouts can identify talent, or should be able to at least. So if there are three natty champs, sobeit. The cream rises to the top and more importantly, volume heals a lot of wounds. So let these kids have their shot. I don't get your stance to be honest. Pretty easy to say coming from an ex-pro. We are the same age, and I have always liked and (mostly) respected Ryan, but I disagree with this notion.

Rhyno was right at the very end.. the cost to privateers, cost of living. Top guys don't need anymore. Put more money to the privateers and/or a SX 2 level Race. SX needs to be 2 days... so there can be a SX2 for 450 and 250. Film the SX2 races on Friday, and put them in during the broadcast on Saturday instead of all the filler crap.

[@tankeater]

To say LL means nothing is hysterical... You think the sponsors they already have would be OK with their guy just not going to the most popular race of the year for an amateur? And him just saying the winners already have sponsors is so idiotic.

[@lukekelly5115]

Probably be happier to have them at all the other big national races

[@tankeater]

@@lukekelly5115 yah, they started doing it this year at some MX tracks and have been doing the Futures in SX for years... His argument is actually the opposite of that. Instead of having more, he just says, ahhhh, why does LL even matter? He can teach, not think.

[@bigchaloopa]

I am not, especially if Ryan Hughes is walking around with his pants halfway down hitting on girls barely legal to drink 🍸.

[@keithtarrier4558]

Understand your point. But there is no "barely" when it comes to the law. You can or can not do. You can drive, you can not drive. You can do this.. you can not do this when it comes to a certain law or restriction. BUT what comes way more into play, are moral and society codes and norms. What's morally right. The whole entire legal system was initially built on "normal" moral and society expectations. That stuff is just plain wrong and gross... but not illegal.

[@kurtheidelbach]

What an idiotic comment. Barely Legal? Check your ages
