If the AMA allows anyone involved back into their races, they are as big a punk as that clan .. -- Just to keep it all in perspective .. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YedqV4Gl_us
http://www.motoxaddicts.com/2013/07...nishments-handed-down-to-the-alessis-and-mcr/ Over the past couple of years I've become a 'fan' of Mike Alessi. The guy depicted in his segment of 'The Moto' and the guy who always smiles in interviews and says 'I'm happy - I wish I could have finished just a little better but I gave it 110%. I'm lucky to be doing what I love." I wish Mike and his girlfriend the best. Tony and Jeff Alessi - need their butts kicked. Gotta laugh at them - what a couple of idiots.
http://www.mxsportsproracing.com/pdf/2013/Penalties/ALESSI Notice of Penalties.pdf the actions taken.
Mike needs to sever family ties and find a different race team. Thats just freaking stupid and not something i would ever want to be associated with. Those guys have been doing this crap for top long.
These are kids that never grew up,,its to bad they both had potential to be really good,,,talk'd with AMA MX,,their getting bombarded with calls from member's... I think the boy's days are done racing...I'm glad ryan and malcome didn't get blinded...
Tomac was close to the ryan's pace, but just a tick off. Still very impressive though. Can't wait till he is on the big bikes. http://www.racerxonline.com/2013/07/23/sign-of-the-lap-times-washougal The whole alessi thing is just plain stupid. I mean how did they think no one would figure it out. It's a long green line with a target on one end and a guilty person on the other. Not too hard to figure out who was pointing it.
Tony is such a dbag, trying to turn witnessed misconduct into "assault". Pfft. I'm glad he got suspended for the year along with Jeff. I'm kinda shocked how they fined Mike Allessi $10,000 for Jeff's jackassery and 5 grand for Tony's. That's gotta sting, maybe he knew about the light usage, maybe not. But he certainly needs to distance himself from them, it's the only way to save his image, and maybe his career outside of motoconcepts. The racing was impressive. RV and Tomacs aggression is just as impressive as RD's PERFECT form and smooth riding.
laser=tracer round......great for shooter to zero in his volley.....great for guys at the receiving end to see where that volley is coming from. (re: colo moto post).. stupid stupid teen, no thought given, prank type move.
Just talked with dave who did the whole investigation,,mike had no idea what was happening,,dave said he hated to hand the fine down to mike but it's per rules,, in daves words and i quote "I hope mike and dad distance themselves from jeff,,mike understands what this means now i 've known both for a long time,,i'm sorry i hated to do it"unquote... Daves really bummed he said i'm hoppin in my truck kelly and going to loretta's to set that race up and put this all behind me..
I'd find it very hard to believe that the entire team didn't know about it. It's a small team and 3 of them are family. There's other reports of jeff playing around with it in the team pit area shining it on the JGR team semi.
I'm heard it straight from dave,,he did whole investigation,,people were saying it was jeff's fault who were right there and watched him,,,you don't think a dude like him stands out,,dave said people were watching him do this,,dave said after the moto he got complaint's from Ryan's team manager and from Malcomes team manager,,dave went over to the hill near the start and talk'd with people and confronted jeff ,,he denied it,,,jeff even went so far as to blame his ex girlfriend for doing it after he knew he was busted,,,the fan's wont lie,,when they seen it first hand,,,I asked dave how come this never came to blows,,he said jeff knew he was busted... Dave was in a situation as he said,,Was bad,, really bad,, jeff was not admitting fault,,jeff went so far as to theatin mike and his dad,,dave said when they got to the airport and all this BS was still going on,,he knew he made the right decision...Mike is cool with the outcome he understands,, per daves words,,, he knows (mike) family ties are done... I'm just telling you all from daves situation and what he went through to try and resolve this mess...
I guess I was pretty close using my phone for a stopwatch. Here are a couple of pics of the triple. Google Earth says about 110'
PS someone posted up a sheet from Wa. State law book on another site. What was done can be construed as an illegal act according to the Wa state penal code book. I have no quote but the law goes as far to say using the laser as an item of intimidation, and of course all the distract law officers and emergency personel type stuff as well as the acting it upon aircraft side of the laser regulations .
thanks for chiming in with your info from Dave. I didn't read your last post before I wrote. I was going off of what I had read elsewhere about the incident. If Dave says he believes that Mikey didn't know about it then it really is a sad situation. The entire moto world has long said that Mikey needs to ditch his dad and move on by himself.
Stew went hollywood (in 2009?) and did not race the outdoors for several yrs in the past and lost what it takes to race at the speed RV2 and RD5 run at today... He ~seems to be back at race pace or at least very close now ... I'm thinking he might be back next yr to race again ....
Like Stew and think he's good for the sport.. But I don't get the sense that he has the fire anymore...
