His parents were there. 1-833-CJKNOWS (CJ Czaia, who sponsored Kaleb DeKeyrel last year in Twins) partially sponsored SDK on the M4 bike. I don't know the details of the deal, but I got to eat at the M4 tent with CJ's staff. Winning!

Very cool! I'd heard about a Kawi - Graves relationship over the past 18 months. Glad to see it's coming true. Also, looks like Elias won't be riding for Honos this year. Certainly not for the full season anyway.
I LOVE Corey getting extra help and a boost through this partnership, but honestly am disappointed that the Honos investment didn't result in any growth in the grid either through an SBK effort for Richie to grow toward along and a new rider taking his seat in SSP, or even a ride for Toni since Corey and Richie returning seemed like a given.
Wyatt Farris joins m4 on the Stock 1000, SDK remains on the 600: https://motoamerica.com/kelly-lochoff-farris-to-team-m4-ecstar-suzuki-for-2021-motoamerica-series/
Very cool, Wyatt is a great kid from a nice family. First time we met them was an AFM race at buttonwillow. On the way to the track, the shipping company met me at a truck stop with an 08 R6, I bought from the east coast. Tyler was still riding a SV or 125 at the time. Wyatt’s R6 blew up and I offered up our R6. Their mechanic, Will Morton, pulled the motor and Wyatt made the races that weekend. That started a long friendship with them .
STK1000 & SBK Cup definitely seems to be the place to rebuild a career in road racing. I wouldn't have been surprised if Wyatt, Uribe, and a few others didn't even bother with wildcards this year. But now those two at least are racing full time, plus whoever Derek is building that ZXRR for. So awesome.
Yes Tyler told me Uribe, another awesome family, set the track record this weekend at buttonwillow and beat Bryce Prince, and I think Aussie Dave, on Jason Uribe’s new Aussie Dave SBK. I hope he can be competitive this year in SBK with that bike, now that he is off the turd Honda.
Yeah in MotoAmerica podcast they talked with Uribe about going SBK with Dave on the Suzuki. They also posted the video with him getting the track record
We raced minis with Dylan and his father way back when. They are good people. When you are passionate about your sport, you sometimes get carried away in the heat of the moment.
I have no doubt, plus I’m sure the suspension/banning and having to watch his kid from a distance sucked.
Look for a team two make some pretty awesome announcements here soon. 2 more bikes on the grid in 2 for a full season. Excited for the new season.
Jesus,this didn't even make sense. I cant believe you guys didn't let me have it. That's bad even for assjuice standards. So a team should be officially announcing two more riders. Can't say much but it is definitely a great addition to the paddock.
