damn that's a heart breaker. I mean I'm glad to see he has a ride, but I was really looking forward to seeing Gary McCoy slide that Trumpet all around.

Default It will be interesting to see how these guys do...

I mean this is a pretty good ride for him, but the T-3 has been a top 5 bike at best. At this point, our guys are willing to ride for next to nothing to keep the career going if the DMG POC won't support them.

I hope he does well and learns to recognize the line between Fast / Crash.

Good for Jason, decent ride, and he's going to one of the most competitive series. WSS is looking to be plenty interesting this year, can't wait for the testing and racing to start.

Default McCoy is Gone... $$ demands

Apparently, Gary wanted too much money or let's say more than the Triumph Racing Team market was willing to pay. For Gary, they actually have two more riders now. Not sure it was a great move on their part for talent and results, but it was a move. There are probably man folks under their typical earnings open to taking a seat like that... heck, even I would do it.

Seems to me that he was the reason they were any where near the fron... gonna be tough watching those 2 ride near the rear soaking up crash parts from the leaders.

True until someone less fragile and younger got in a seat. Chaz did just as well, if not better, than McCoy in 2 rides. I think this is a good move. McCoy lost too much track time to injury. Not only when healing, but riding hurt. And if they don't get more people giving input they'll never develop the bike further. So the more rider the better along they can be.

Jason (as for most of his "career") is PAYING for his ride in WSS. Well techically, that's incorrect, his DADDY is writing the checks......must be nice, however, I'd rather be permanently broke, than be a prick like him, don't even get me started, Jason started in dirt track, we go back a ways.........

I don't see him doing much in WSS, even with his dad writing the big check that is probably funding the whole team.
