I'm thinking this is a good track for... chad Reed... hard packed and slick. Watch out this if he gets a start

That was a great race to watch. The track looks very slippery.

Oh and with the track conditions I'm calling Dungey as the 450 winner.

Yep great race. I know it will never happen but all SX races need to be on 250s. Racing is much better when the riders can use all the HP that the bike makes and it allows passing that throws the other person off so they can't do obstacles. The 450s you get blocked and you still jump everything.

If the 450's could just have 1 like that it would be amazing

I didn't think Eli would be that strong on the slick hardpack. That was impressive. He is just incredible right now.

That really was some epic action packed racing. And the 450s was a snooze fest but what's new? 250s was edge of the seat action! Smile

There was nothing else to watch or talk about. Eli checked out and everyone was just on cruise control.

The 450's need to go. Keep the 250s and add a 125 class. That's what this sport needs.

Ferrandis is gonna be a force to be reckoned with once he gets the mains figured out. Dude was on it until it looked like he started to think too much.

My heart was pounding during that 250 race. I have preferred the 250 class in both SX and MX these last few years over the 450 class. If you are old enough to remember back in the open 2 stoke pro nationals, it was about the same as the 450's today. Not a lot of battling, lots of follow the leader, and predictable finishing positions. Makes you wonder if it has a bit more to do with excessive HP. I've always found that racing was better when there was a lack of HP and riders has to have better technique and skill to make the bike go faster.

How many HP does a factory prepared 250F make now days vs factory 2 strokes of the early 2000's. not making this into a 2 vs 4 stroke debate, but a HP debate. I know there is no way they'll lower the displacement limits on racing, but I think it would make for better racing.

Edit:Just reread my post, sorry if I hijacked this thread.

much better racing. blakes charge was solid. cool to see millsaps in the mix. as long as they keep moving the camera when someones leading like tomac. its ok. the 250 race was classic. I say 250 east west and a 250 full series. so basically get rid of 450s,lol.
