...next week (450 class) in L.A.?

I really hope this hasn't been discussed already. I honestly searched the threads for this topic.

Sue me if I have failed. I have been on the road 6 hours, with 3 women,(wife and two daughters)and too much estrogen emitting from the ride, coming home from Arizona.

Forgive me.

It's been discussed a little, but I've been where you are and i'm sorry. They never seem to be in a good mood all at the same time do they?

1 and 5 will. They are tied for the lead. They changed the rule in SX from the last year champ running it to the series leader running it.

Yeah, sounds like the only logical solution.

Ryan and Ryan will both have a red back ground.

He he, and thanks for the sympathetic thoughts from you who know.

My girls really are the best things that have ever happen to me, but...

If it goes to the points leader then only Dungey should be running it.

That would be because D comes before V in the alphabet?

Running the red background together with the #1 plate is redundant and unnecessary to mark the champion.

I like it the way it is. The moving red plate increases the drama.

That would be because if the championship were called today, Dungey would win based on having the most recent victory.

But apparently nobody reads the rulebook anymore, and I imagine both Villopoto and Dungey will be running red.

I do not mean he should run it because of the #1 plate. He should run it because as the defending champ, no one is in front of him and by default, the red plate should be his. Just like the first race of the season.

When all is equal (and it is), I would think the last winner would break the tie. If it doesn't work that way, then they would both run it.

I hear ya. I don't agree, but I hear ya. The shared deal creates more drama in my opinion.

RV2 should be the only one with the red plate next week. When tied in points with the defending champ the plate should stay with the champ.

Ralph said at the end of the show that they would both run the RED plate next week at LA.

You guys missed it......

The points leader HAS to run the red back ground..........as most of the stupid monster truck crowd doesn't know how to read a fucking number......but they can tell color differences. There will be two red plates out there next weekend and some really confused redneck bro's in the crowd that will have no clue as to what's going on. About 60,000 fans.....and about 37 with a fucking clue!

Should go to the rider with the greatest margin of victory by time. If the season ended today who would be champion?
