DC mentioned this in Racerhead last Friday. Any ideas what is going to happen.
"By the way, the final end-all announcement of what’s happening with the AMA Toyota Motocross Championship will likely be forthcoming between now and Hangtown next week. Needless to say, there are going to be a few confused people out there, but the vast majority of motocross fans and industry folks will just be glad to put this all behind them and start focusing on the racing and the future. I even got to have a friendly conversation with Giuseppe Luongo, and we both agree it’s time to focus on the future and work together to make motocross a better sport all-around."

The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
americans riding bone stockers beating euros on their hi-tech stuff would be fun to watch for sure.
But think what it would do for development as well. The factories could try things without having to put them into production first and retooling the factories. Maybe it would actually lower costs in the long run.
ban the entry fee NOW!!!!
charge the teams a parking fee or whatever but leave the racers alone.
It's already a huge ordeal to go from "sea to shining sea" in the US. Can't imagine how a unified world series would work.
npg is behind schedule on settling long term with DMG so that is more likely.
Then SX will grow to 20 events and squeeze MX smaller.
Pit Row
Yeah lets make it longer.
SX is going to grow bigger and the nats have to wait for what's left.
There won't be any combined nats/YS series.
DMG should take over everything, take inventory and do a real culture change (read Smoke and Noise #8), and make a better system.
I think they should give SX teams the points and run as many races as the market will support. That way they can hire replacement riders and still plan on being at every event with riders ready to race. You can also run with a set number of teams and manage it better.
BoobyM will be in charge of the rider's union.
If I were the MX people, I would forget about trying to fight SX for the same riders and build something year-round with MX guys.
That's not real racing. Where's the rocks, mud, off camber turns, top gear -balls out straightaways ?
After attending each Anaheim and San Diego this year Glen Helen was "Glen Heaven" they actually took it out of 2nd and started racing each other.
Plus who wants to pay $9 for a glass of dog piss rebadged as beer ??
Run Nationals March to July and run GP's the same then August to October the top 20 overall in the US nationals and GPs in each class go head to head in an 8 round series , 4 in Europe , 4 in the US for a true World Champion.
Bring back 45 minutes plus 2.
O.K I'm ready for the insults- one at a time please
You only need a couple dozen per class, and SX attracts a lot of international riders. Considering the number of years one guy can do it, you don't need to add a large number each year to cover turnover.
Out of the 1,000 or so guys chasing the dream at LL's each August, how many would you need to keep SX going? Not too many.
MX is trying too hard to keep up with SX and can't do it.
