Granted I'm tired as fuck, hungover and whatnot...

But. Bogle has more than a race lead over anyone who will race next week. Why didn't they give him the trophy already??

Because "technically" he only has a 17 point lead.....

Given Davalos just had his ankle plated, can we just use some common sense? Fuck.

Probably cause even though Martin will not race Vegas, he is still mathematically a contender for the title

Sucks for the PC guys for sure, but nice to see Honda have some success the past few years

Would they have done that in an Australian series?

What if Bogle dnf's Vegas? Davalos gets the title. Makes perfect sense for not giving him the title. Most of you must be hung over.

I feel like they could and should have done that ANYWHERE.

Davalos has his foot in a cast and everyone else is more than 25 points back. Even the next closest guys are out injured.

Weird.

I decided given it was a big wedding weekend, and I had been busting my ass at the gym to fit back into my own wedding suit, that I should extend the weekend.... So I drank another bottle of wine and watched the NJ SX...

So it's good. Still going! Ouch.

You have to actually win the title for them to allow you to have the title. I don't understand the misunderstanding.

This is how the AMA sees the Eastern Regional 250SX Class Season Standings

1. Justin Bogle, Cushing, Okla., Honda, 166

2. Martin Davalos, Cairo, Ga., Kawasaki, 149
(17 points down, dislocated ankle, bruised other one, shattered scaphoid - Should line up, cocaine is from Ecuador right? Hellavadrug!!!)

3. Adam Cianciarulo, Port Orange, Fla., Kawasaki, 120
(46 points down, shoulder operation, heard he's been flying on the vegas hardpack, he can talk his way into this right)

4. Blake Baggett, Grand Terrace, Calif., 120
(46 points down, Nasty eye injury, supposedly out till GH, Good chance to beat Bogle tho)

5. Vince Friese, Cape Girardeau, Mo., Honda, 120
(46 points down, will likely get 3rd in the standings and use his first ever podium as a spring board to make up 46 points on Bogle in Vegas)

And then EVERYONE ELSE. Also an equal chance to beat Bogle in vegas and make up 59 points or more.

It's just more logical and professional for the AMA to award Bogle the championship when it's locked up, rather than him "technically" having it locked up. It doesn't matter the extent of Davalos injuries because if they awarded Bogle the title and he gets hurt this week and they shoot Davalos up with novocaine and he takes 4th, well that would be a crazy pain in the ass dramatic #1 plate swap and all that. Plus it's Vegas, the promotors want to wrap up the titles at that venue not NJ. Btw Vegas isn't double points, guys.

SHATTERED SCAPHOID

DISLOCATED ANKLE

No amount of pain killers is gonna make him be able to hold on or control his foot.

The crazy part to me is that Freise will take 3rd overall for the series.

They can work around it, Jeremy McGrath has done it.

"Jeremy McGrath looked to have the 1991 West Region 125 SX Championship on lock, until he crashed at the High Point National and broke his leg. This put him in jeapordy of missing the final two SX rounds and losing the title, but he had a custom-made cast put on his leg, which allowed him to ride and finish ninth at the next-to-last race in San Jose, Ca. That was enough for him to clinch the title, so he skipped the final round. Jeff Emig won the last two races and finished second in points."

- Racer X Online

Without disrespecting the field, it's weak compared to the beginning of the season. If something were to happen to Bogle this week, Davalos physically could ride through the pain and finish 4th or better. The only guys quicker than him at the moment if Bogle were to get hurt is Jeremy Martin, and while being injured he could still probably beat Lemoine and Cunningham.

I'm curious why you care so much, and why you are so upset over waiting til Vegas to award him the championship?
