1999 0r 2005?

99? MC...

Or McGrath 1993. He suprised a lot of people that year, including Stanton.

Yes he did.

RC couldn´t finish a race that year, but JBS eas injured so why not just see who had the most points in their respective season? RC won Daytone, JS won 3 I think...?

RC wasn't very good indoors as a rookie at all... so rookie SX talent would be 259, no doubt.

Y A W N .........

Actually, RC spent one less year in the 125 class too.

Come on Hank, you know that James wins all the "IF" races. Don't take their reason to live.

I say make 'em race one race each on 125s and 250s.

James was doing some crazy stuff in his last year of 125s (and I'm not just talking the sprinkler). I think it was Pontiac, he got a bad start and was making passes in places...well, that you just don't pass in on a 125. Doing big jumps from the inside of corners and the like.

Some of RC's early seasons on the 250 were a little rough to say the least, and even a few years in you occasionally had to watch from between your fingers.

He sure did have it figured out on the Suzuki, though, especially when his setup got a little more conventional.

I'm hoping that James won't opt for a change in suspension setup like he did before the start of last year's season. Watching Phoenix? That was like 20 laps on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

McGrath 1996. Carmichael 2001. Stewart 2007.

They were all untouchable at those times. If you took all those guys at that age, and were somehow able to put them into the different eras they would all be winners.
