After winning the WORCS and H&H championships, it looks like Gary unexpectedly lost his ride. Anyone know what's up?
Sad deal...
I did see that Husky dropped Jake Argubright...Gary Southerlin would be perfect for that spot...and certainly deserves it!

I guess we will wait and see.....
Destry's Facebook post was nothing but professionalism
I haven't heard/seen anyone talk about it, but I was very surprised in the Factory KTM Off Road team press release, Kailub Russel will be racing out west this year in the WORCS series. That came out of nowhere.
And, Kailub Russell will contest the AMA Big 6 series- not the WORCS series. It suprised me too, but perhaps his contract calls for 2 offroad series? Maybe the Big 6 schedule has the least overlap with GNCC?
The West Coast GP series should be really good next year!
I agree fully with the business decision Ron made, but he probably should have communicated it better to Destry and Gary.
Pit Row
Yeah Destrys job for Purvines was to bring in sponsors, which didnt happen. Not a bash on Destry, more of a sign of tough it is in the industry right now. Gary might not have meshed perfectly but i dont think that had anything to do with it. i know roughly what Ron paid Gary after bonuses last year and what it would cost for them to go racing with him next year and they were big, especially when its all out of Rons pocket.
These guys need to up their social media game. Your average joe MX guy or weekend warrior have no idea who they are or what brands they represent.
