I mean I'm guessing yes. She is rolling most the track. I mean I'm happy for her but shit if she made it then there is lots of people out there that could as well. Goes to show not many people really trying this for a living.

Not at my age. I say good for her. She has been riding and racing living her dream for a long time. I do have a soft spot for the women racing the guys since my own daughter was a decent supermini rider at her high point. We took home some honda money. Very happy to see a woman make a night show.

I seriously doubt any of you guys on your computers have the balls or the skill to ride a super cross track. And if you haven't noticed there are plenty of people trying to make a living, the purses and sport just doesn't allow privateers to prosper. Money is tight for them. Too tight.

So many all star couch potatoes tonight.

Could you also finish first place in an arenacross, beating an entire field of local pro/A riders?

I can't make Division 4 in Mad Skills MX, so I'm thinking NO.

that was a JOKE!!! and don't give me that "could you do it" she don't belong out there. its hard to believe there were 4 guys slower than her. just shows some guys out there are not real pros. the top guys went 108 she went 125 and the slowest guy in the top 40 went 140. that's a HUGE gap . look at all the top level riders that were missing tonight. the field was depleted

I am a washed up am moto rider. Still eat sleep and dream moto, ride the local A class and do well but I know that Supercross is a animal of its own. The guys who are good at it are something special.

I think what it proves more than anything is how much money is pissed away in amateur racing. Where do all the factory star am racers end up? Because they sure were not on the line in Vegas.

From what I read in the other thread about her there were only 41 riders that showed up and 2 didn't make it to the line. Based on that, if you meet the prerequisite and can fog a mirror, you can make the night show.

Guys in their 50 & 60's could of made it... They didn't even have enough pros to fill the gate, they got A class riders out there.

some of the 250 field CAN'T RACE the outdoor nationals, they're NOT PROS, they got a supercross licence, all they did was

show up to 3 arena crosses & qualified.

To be a PRO you got to have a good finish in pro sport or A @ Loretta's or get your 75 points in PRO-AM & you got one year

to do it. You got riders out there who have never won a C class race.

Congrats to Vicki she followed the rules & got in fair & square.

Some of the REAL A class riders who attended the race to watch, messed up, they should of brought their bike with them.

Heck no. If and I say if I made it to the whoops I'd just cut the track straight to medical unit and save the pain.

I raced several AX races in Texas, back in 1978-80. It was bar banging, even back then. As far as Vicki.....I might be able to beat her for 1 lap......just ONE, then head for the recliner and an I.V. Did you see her wheelie down the long straight in her heat race. Cool.

im sorry, but she isnt the only girl who would be doing the same similar results to what shes currently doing. markelon, fasnatch, golden, geiger, hodges (future) kaitlyn morrow, brandy richards, ect ect/// could all roll around a sx track like her, no pun intended......

Yes I could having done so before, therefore I have the utmost respect for Miss Golden and all the other riders out the from the front to the back. Those tracks would make most of the guys on here shit their dacks or crash, if you've never ridden a full on SX track don't get any ideas that you would float round.

Congrats to Miss Golden, who cares how she made it.
