#53 Kory Ellis showed up this weekend with his new mechanic, Jody Earnest, and I use the word “New” lightly because actually Jody was Kory’s mechanic in the past when he raced for Cannondale.
Jody took a moment to tells about his newest position as Kory’s mechanic

How did your “new” job as Kory’s mechanic come about?
Jody Earnest
I worked at Cannondale Corporation in the Engine R&D Department and that is how I met Kory Ellis, and I did all of his engines and he liked them because he didn’t have any problems with them and they never broke down, and we became really close friends.
I live in Altoona, PA and he lives way out in California and we have kept in touch, and he called me out of the blue about a month ago and asked if I wanted to come work for him, and I said that I would give it a shot

Will you keep Kory’s Yamaha YFZ450 race machine between races?
Jody Earnest
Yes, we are planning on it
Thanks for your time, Jody, and I wish you the best in your new position.
