Haavisto Needs a Big Sponser
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Hermyhermy

Joe Haavisto is 4th place in the country right now!! If he could only dedicate his time to racing he would be unstopable!! He Frames houses during the day, comes home at 5 oclock, rides a hard 30 min moto (sometimes 2). Wrenches on his bikes for 1-2 hours himself then goes home at 8:00. He drives himself to all the nationals. He races 1st moto, washes bike, works on bike, gets an hour to rest for the 2nd moto, gets done, packs up, and drives home only to start a new week framing houses! Come on here this kid needs to get some serious help! The standings as of race 5 read Natalie, Byrd, Gust, and Haavisto! The kids biggest sponser is his Mom and Dad. Would someone look into this kid. With a little help he could be sitting on the podium every race!

this is his last year racing, unless he get's backed with money for riding for someone, or get's a factory sponsorship

i think HONDA should sign him, farr is getting to old, and isn't finishing nearly as good as he should.

well then tim farr should not be in the pro class anymore. the pro class is all about speed and stamina.

Its pathetic, you look at him, doing well year after year, even winning a national moto at southwick a few years back...works his *** off all week. Look at some other riders (who will remain un-named) who he beats week in and week out, some of which have only competed in 1 of the last 4 seasons and cant even make the top 10 !! With any luck he will be on factory equipment next season and putting all his time and focus on riding !!

I would assume with his racing this season, and with putting out resumes to the companies who can help - he will get the sponsorship he needs......it would be a waste if he couldn't. Sponsorships are wierd these days.....though........

what type of framing does Joe do? Is it quality or production type work?

I've met Tim and even talked with him for a couple minutes at steelcity and I can assure you that he can still tear it up in Pro. All of you who are jumping all over the man because he isnt dominating for the first time in however long its been , Jeeze give the guy a break how many nats. has he won Throughout his carreer ? 10 ? If you honestly think that Timmy is out of it and to old why do you think that Mark and honda are sticking buy him? Time heals wounds and he WILL race and win again !

if haavisto had factory backing and could practice all week and actually get rest he could definatly be on the podium every single race
