Why is Byrd not on the list for Steel City?
What if he is the second unkown rider for another factory looking for a big name? Maybe polaris, it would make sense.

Pepper told me The France thing was just a cover up. His honda contract is up as of Aug 21. Tomorrow should be the update on the other Polaris rider. Don't be to shocked is what I'm told.

I can tell you that another Polaris rider will be a Pro-am rider who will be making him Pro debut at Steel City. I'm not sure when they'll reveal who he is. He's a MotoX Nutrition rider though!

He should do well in the pro ranks.

Did he even race this year? I thought he was allready racing the Outlaw, but I never saw any results of him racing.

I don't think its Cody. He just got his cast off from a major wrist injury. My money is on Mitch Reynolds or Landon Hurst.

i dont think landon hurst is ready for pro class yet...but mitch on the other hand is already a pro in the EDT series so it would make sense

Don't worry, Byrd is not racing the Polaris at Steel City. I just got confirmation on who it is though.

I'd better not. I don't want to get into any hot water. I'm sure they'll have a press release soon. You could try and get Christian from Moto-X Nutrition to spill the beans...

I'd better not either. A press release will be out soon I'm sure. Who knows, perhaps there will be a couple new Polaris riders added to next years program.
It's fun to see a new pro coming into the mix.

Cody Anderson has been out all season with a broken wrist.

I don't think they are trying to keep it quiet, I'm not sure why they would. Dunk and Mitch Reynolds are riding Polaris at Steel City.

You are correct! I just didn't want to say anything in case they wanted to make an official press release.

Now I wished I'd been the one to share it. Mitch said he starting riding a race ready 09' a little over a week ago and it's much improved and he feels it should be very competitive. I think Mitch will do great. He's been a top finisher in one of the toughest pro-am classes in a while.

Well I started this just to stir some things up, Its been a little boring in the forums. It is nice to see someone finally spill the beans. I don't understand why everyone is so secretive anymore. I mean magazines come out with stuff as fast as these forums anymore. Now who is the other Yamaha rider? Thomas Brown, or is Byrd switching to them? Haha

I'm a tad bit surprised about Mitch that he went to the Polaris. I sure hope he does better than all the other Polaris riders though.
I don't know why Thomas Brown wouldn't be the other Yamaha rider...

Thomas prolly dont want to take Pats camp fire away and make it into the bomb fire that Thomas will be dropping on him

This is just a one time race for Mitch and Dunk on the Polaris from what I've heard. Next year hasn't been decided yet.

WOW what an awesome race!!! Wienen and Upperman really impressed me tonight. Josh ran a good smart race. He was maintaining 2nd and then I think he got tired/hot in the end. Gust pulled the holeshot and lead first 4 laps i think.

Dunk was having a hell of a time on the Piglaris....wow did it ever live up to everyone's expectations...the front end was vibrating like a un-balanced washing machine on spin cycle...he had no power, and the suspension looked like he was on a pogo stick....I wish he would have been on the Honda....:ermm:
