JACOB ARGUBRIGHT: 2019 KENDA/SRT AMA HARE & HOUND NATIONAL CHAMPION
P84
Interview
making it work so well that you
won a championship as a total
privateer.
Yeah, I've seen both sides of the
fence. I've had everything and I've
had nothing. I mean, it's not noth-
ing. Not having the factory [back-
ing] is a lot harder, but it's so satis-
fying when it's said and done, and I
think I really appreciate everything
more. I'm not going to become a
millionaire at this so I want to have
100 percent control. I appreciate
the teams like Chidester, but at this
point I just want to get control of
what I do.
As a privateer at your level run-
ning your entire program on your
own, how does a typical day dur-
ing the week go?
It depends. Right now, this time
of year, I'm doing sponsor stuff.
I'm getting bikes ready. I haven't
started riding yet for the new year.
I have four bikes that I'm trying to
redo, that I'm trying to order parts
for and trying to squeeze in a little
bit of training. So my day would be
I wake up, send e-mails out, do
some office work and then go to
"I'M EXCITED
TO PUT THE
NUMBER ONE ON
MY BIKE, BUT I
ALSO KNOW A LOT
OF PEOPLE WANT
TO TEAR IT AWAY
FROM ME."
Argubright is a
true privateer,
organizing and
operating his own
race program.
