Manu Rivas (#921 Kawasaki KXF 450) put some fast laps during qualifying for the infamous 2008 edition of the Daytona SX but he didn't entered the heats or the main event. WHY?? "The conditions are hard, I can't afford breaking my bike this early in the season"
Dude, shut the hell up.

Chad reed... for almost all of 2011.
Yeah, totally.. you do realize that Chad had support from Pro Circuit the whole time, right? He also had a full size 18 wheeler and his own house, along with the same amount of practice as the other top guys. He also had factory support all the way through the nationals and for a few supercrosses, so that's about half of the race year.
