AMA/MOTOAMERICA Entry Level Class, KTM Cup

I read Sean Kelly didn't race with MA this year. Is that right? is there an RC cup in Mexico also?

 

Awesome finish. Hayden was riding the wheels off that bike, but looked to be gapped pretty bad on the straights.

 

Another fantastic race and finish. The boys represented well.

 

Yes he was too young for the U.S. Series, good to go at 13 in Mexico

 

Another great race, we should be proud of them as this was a great showing for the boys.

 

A 2nd and a 3rd for Ortt while riding with a broken hand, kid's tough!
Great job everyone, experience of a lifetime!!

 

Well the boys are all right. Bright future for these kids.

 

So the provisional world championship puts Ortt in 3rd overall. Not to damn bad.

 

Impressive results for the US contingent. Big thumbs up to all the racers.

So can all of the dingbats that were shit-talking MotoAmerica and this racing class before the season started come in here and admit that this definitely did not suck?

 

Very Very Awesome. Congrats to some future World Champions :up:

 

Went back and reread the thread. A couple posts jumped out at me

Road America - 28 entries
Barber - 31 entries
Miller - 32 entries
Laguna Seca - 28 entries
NJMP - 38 entries

Looks like Chip was right again.

How many other classes had 5 riders competing against riders from all over the world this year?

Mazz and Sean Kelly ended up doing pretty good!!!!

As did Braeden!

 

At the start it was like some people had to be talked off the cliff! Oh, it should have been an R3. Oh, the bike is no good. Oh, it can't possible work!

KTM proposed and backed the series. MotoAmerica did a deal with them. Looks like it's working great! Congrats to all the participants, to the series, and to KTM!

 

A podium photo is supposed to be displaying with that post. Our website host has been moving everything to a much larger server and we've been having all sorts of problems all weekend. Apologies...

 

It shows up on my computer

 

What's interesting/weird is that they did the nation of the series and not of the rider ...
Kelly was Mexico
Ortt was USA...

 

I asked abt that earlier. Kelly is 13, too young for the MA series. But eligible in MX. So he ran the MX series, didn't even know they were ruing the series in MX.

 

I also heard in Mexico they didn't have to buy the bike, which was also a cost savings
