  I have a question about how to get the riders’ mechanics noticed. While the riders are the main focus during the supercross and motocross seasons, the mechanics often go unrecognized for their hard work in ensuring the best performance of the bikes. How can we show appreciation for the mechanics? We have military appreciation, which is great, but how about designating a special day and race to honor all the mechanics for their contributions? I believe this would be beneficial for the mechanics, teams, and riders. I hope this isn’t a dumb question, but I think they deserve recognition for their efforts.

(Thanks for the note, Marty, and we agree mechanics deserve more recognition—and maybe some mid-moto TV interviews as well. DC)
