Sx should be 11 rounds.. 5 west 5 east and vegas shootout. It always starts to get boring by now. The injuries are racking up. The weather is warming up and local outdoor racing is getting started...and LLQ's. 17 is just too many imo.

I am not snoozing but I think Dungey has this for sure unless he gets hurt and misses a couple of races.

NO! NASCAR is a joke now. It's possible for a driver to lose the championship even if they win the first 35 races and come in 2nd in the last race.

I don't know why people don't like the idea of a reset. I think it's a great idea and would add some excitement for the fans as well and increase the riders motivation.

It's actually a wonderful idea. I think you guys would be very surprised how well it would work out for both the fans and the riders to reset with maybe 8 races to go.

The only reason it's this way is that RD5 is mature beyond his years. The kid knows not to over race the night and ruin
the opportunity for the championship. He's had extremely good mentoring and understands the big picture. Even at
prestigious Daytona, "I'd like to win but there's a bigger picture" No wonder he's Roger's golden boy.

17 rounds in 18 weeks is such a brutal grind, take it down to 15 and give them 3 breaks...i know it makes way to much sense for it to ever happen. Whistling

This is true with a lot of sports. I'm a big hockey fan. They have an 82 game season. After about 50 games it's just so boring. We know what teams are good what teams are not. The remaining 32 games you just pray noone gets hurt on your team.

But then people would complain how SX never comes to their state blah blah blah...

I say more shootouts throughout the year like they used do.

I know it'd never happen...but I'd love to see two 450 mains. 10 laps and then re-rack 'em for a second 10 lap main. Someone could get tangled up in turn 1 of main 1 and push hard to get 10th...and then holeshot main 2 for the win coming away with good overall points for the night.

11 Rounds with both 250 East and West racing together, I hate seeing Webb on West and Marvin or East they are both standouts yet they cant race each other until the end of the year.

I love the schedule for us fans and how it goes almost right into outdoors. We get to see a shit ton of racing. That long break after outdoors is hard for us fans to wait for racing again but I know the riders need it.

I am a little torn on a reset. There have been some battles down the the line at times but I'm still leaning towards at least giving it a shot. You can try it and if it doesn't work out then go back.

There are too many top riders that are just out of the championship hunt. Just look how much closer the championship almost always is for the 250f riders because it's shorter.

I say do a reset about half way through.

Why reset it halfway through when you could just save everyone the time ,money and trouble of racing races that dont count for shit, and cut the season in 1/2?

Why would anyone want a reset of the points. That's just stupid. Why even have the first 9 or 10 rounds if the points aren't going to count. People would miss races on purpose to avoid injury.

DIdn't I agree totally some place about this already Brett?

But you are totally correct. Daylight savings time kicked in, not in the house til late, then realize a race is on. Miss all those silly commercials. How many times will Bam bam run out of gas a night? it's been as high as 8-9 times I do believe.

Weather here in the midwest just broke, so at least half of the tracks are opening up for practice Sunday, in a few weeks it's daylight til 8:30, the last thing people do is sit around and watch tv.

recording it is fine, but unless you live under a rock you will find out the finishes prior to watching.

What rounds would you eliminate? Two of the Anaheims, one of the Atlantas. Those are the obvious ones. Still need three more. Daytona, Vegas, and A1 are untouchable. What else gets eliminated to keep it at five on the east and west?
