I'm not a big fan of Hanny but he was riding reasonably last year before he got hurt.

Tickle, maybe Ratray and Partridge should get 1 year because he brought the Sycuan money.

So this is a notification that tomorrow we'll get notification? K Dub would be proud of the lack of info before the press release.

I'm guessing that RC is the C in RCH, could the R be Reed? That would make that team very stout right out of the gate. I don't think Chad would walk away from 22 motorsports as that is already a valuable brand. It has to be something special for Cary to seperate H/H from his SX team. Hmmmm!

Hell yea. Sign Hanny for Supercross and let Rattray rip outdoors. they already have Broc Tickle , and i think chizzy, pretty sure. They need an up an comer like Kyle peters or someone coming up thru the ranks

RC will be taking over Kenny Watsons job as team manager. Watson now owns a small piece of the business. I know they are only doing a two rider team this year with Tickle and I hear Rattray since he has no ride. I think it is kind of a shame. I don't know if anyone here has been to a SX race in 2012 but the H&H camp was the place to be. They was a breath of fresh air in a industry that has become way to serious. They are racing dirtbikes not curing cancer. The sport was built based around the idea of having a good time doing what you love. I know it has become more popular as far as outside sponsors go and times have changed. With the destruction of H&H the sport has lost the last team that represented what made the sport so popular in the first place. I understand Carey is a business man and a race team needs to make money. But I never thought that Carey Hart would sell out just to make money. Carey and his team stood for something that has been missing since the 90's. What is next for Hart is he going to get all of his tattoos removed now. I am mostly disappointed in the fact that he fired Hansen. Ya Hansen has his issues but he is a good rider and when all the top guys were racing Hansen was able to finish in the top 5 until he got injured. Mostly I am disappointed because I was at the race in CT when Hart's little brother was killed in a Supermoto accident. Besides Carey it effected Hansen more then anyone else to the point where he withdrew from the rest of the SX season that year. Here is a link to a article from August about H&H and what was going on. I have known since April that they were going Yellow in 2013 but I never would have guessed the RC would have come on board. They are complete opposites. Anyway check this out it is a good perspective from someone that knew the team well.

Relax fellow SX fans. Carey Hart is a real smart guy, a racer, and a fan of our sport. If RC is THE RC in this new equation both individuals will be strengthened and energized by this relationship. They both know business, honor commitments, and strive to captain our sport to the next level.

Let them handle the operations and cheer for them every step of the way.

Out...

CBM Racing - I agree H&H was a breath of fresh air. The team was also self destructing as far as injuries go. Even the guys filling in for injured riders were getting injured. It can't be very fun to show up with 4, 5, 6 guys throughout the year and compeletely fall apart with almost nothing to show for it. This RCH deal shows that he wants to be more than just a novelty and the "fun place" to be. I don't see how this can go bad - if they end up with Tickle and Rattray, it'll be a more focused program with better riders. I wish them luck.
