Could Stewart race the GNCCs (if appeal isn't approved)

Didn't Doug Henry show up off the couch and win that GNCC down in Florida one year? (The one around the Daytona supercross)...granted I believe he collapsed at the finish, and had to get an IV to help him recover...but he did win it.

It seems like Travis Pastrana also raced that same race one year and led most of the race and would have won it if it weren't for a mechanical DNF. (my memory is foggy on this one though, so I could be wrong).

I'm an off road guy...hare and hounds, hare scrambles, endures, GP's, etc...so I'm VERY biased toward the difficulty of off road races and the talent and skill of the guys winning these races/titles...BUT...I honestly believe that the very most talented and "best" dirt bike riders in the world all migrate to MX/SX...its where the glitz and glamor and money and fame are.

So, I honestly believe that if the James Stewarts of the world (the Ricky Carmichaels, Ryan Villopotos, Ryan Dungeys, Toni Cairolis, Eli Tomacs, Trey Canards...the best of the best in the MX world) applied themselves to ANY dirt bike discipline they would rise quickly to the top and win races and championships.

IF-and I honestly don't think it would ever happen...with or without a WADA suspension-but IF Steward decided to make a run at the GNCC's he would win races his first season and be in the hunt for the title in XC1...it would take him a few races to figure things out, but he'd figure it out and would win.

Can you tell me the last guy to "show up and whoop some ass" was? In xc1..

No and I really don't care either way. I will say again that implying that Stewart would struggle to finish halfway is laughable.

Sorry I forgot he trained for 3 hour races!
