=46rom 13 Jun Racerhead:
A lot has been made of the heat in Texas, and the heat came down on a
couple of Yamaha=92s star racers before the race, too. Josh Hill and
Jason Lawrence got their post-race celebration started a little bit
early at Freestone, and Yamaha sent out a press release about it
yesterday. Apparently, as Ping will explain in a minute, on Friday
night, Lawrence was out jacking around with some buddies and rolled
his mechanic=92s rental car. Then, the big trouble was that Saturday
night, both Lawrence and Hill were reportedly together, drunk, in and
around the pits, when Hill got a ticket for underage drinking. After
all, he=92s not even 20 yet.
Now, here=92s the thing: I=92m no moralist, and personally, I think the
law that says you have to be 21 to drink, yet you can vote and die for
your country at 18, is stupid.
After Yamaha=92s vague apology in a PR earlier this week, everyone wants
to know what happened at freestone. Jason Lawrence rolled his
mechanic=92s rental car in the pits at Texas. You know what? You show me
a motocross racer that says he hasn=92t done some heavy damage to a
rental car in his day and I=92ll show you a liar. E-brakes are fun. It
happens, and I don=92t judge him for that. But on Saturday night, less
than 12 hours before the start of the national, Jason was partying it
up at his motor home and was allegedly issued a citation for
contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Who was the underage pal
whooping it up with J-Law the night before the race? His partner in
crime (literally) for the entire season, Josh Hill. Josh, who was
written a minor in possession citation, will have to go back to Texas
later this year to clear his situation up. Josh, if you can read this=85
MOVE. Sell that house next to Jason and find something on the other
side of town. That=92s just my advice. It=92s your career.
