My gripe to echo jonjon714.. Beer prices are brutal. I don't want to get drunk at a race, but I would like two beers, that is a bitch though with the way prices are going on
Supercross should run 53 rounds. #supercrossonly
I also like the idea of a shorter schedule. Do you know how much more costly mistakes would be if you had 5 less races to make up for them? I think it would perhaps make the championships more intense, and the battles at each individual race be more meaningful. I know, less races would make a lot of people unhappy. But the most exciting racing we ever see is during short series (Lites, Monster Energy Cup, etc.). When it's dragged out over 17 weekends, the top always rise to the top. If it's short, it makes it less predictable, which is better.
Have a dozer ready in case a section gets shitty and guys are wadding, but let it develop into a multi-line, rough track. Moto is about line choice and picking the best ones.
I'm a little old school, but I always loved out thinking another guy through line choice to make passes, it's way more rewarding than having to jam someone.

lot of the races pack out & I'm good with that to. I like my nitch sport & it's still cool. I see what mainstream did to the UFC. It's just watered down & not as cool as it once was. I think it's because of the douche fan base it brought out of the wood work & sadly SX events are starting to get like that to!!
Flame on.....IMHO...
SX was designed as a different sport. It should be developed and changed as such. Nascar is not afraid of change and SX shouldn't be either. Try some different things. They are just too afraid to change. Nothing wrong with evolving the sport a little bit. Things can always stay the same at a local level. For the most part mx will always be mx but you can switch up SX a little bit.
For one I get so damn tired of the same track design at every SX race. It's so boring to watch. Only thing different is the damn dirt but it's always the same rhythm sections with off on and a few different lines through the rhythm. I just want to see some different and unique track designs.
I've also always liked the idea of an extra championshipo point or two for a heat race win.
It's dangerous to hold on to old feelings like that. Be glad the sport is growing and there are more fans even if there not hardcore fans or been watching there whole lives.
You have to evolve and try new things for the benefit of the riders and the fans. I am not sure what the answer is and SX has come a pretty long way to being more professional but it still has some work to do to be taken seriously in the sports world.
Outdoors is a different animal and while there are similarities obviously they are 2 different beasts. SX is finesse , timing and risk where outdoors is speed, man and the track-it's the heart of our sport. They are both great but different.
1 championship point for leading a lap
1 championship point for leading the most laps
These would make for good racing and less predictable overall series results. Imagine two points leaders pinning it to the finish line to lead the first lap and pick up a critical point late in the season.
Slow the bikes down no matter how many strokes they have. Bring back the 125 class. Stop the damn grooming. Get rid of the stupid timed qualifying. Stop trying to be like Nascar............etc....
I think we vital members represent a core group of Moto fans, varied in skill, experience, and age. Why would anyone listen to us?
I sit back and go I think it's all pretty good. Sure we have suggestions but it's really up to the people involved in the daily grind that will be able to make the best decisions. There are so many factors we don't think of. We just think of it from a fan perspective but it's still fun to chime in and make observations and suggestions.
Pit Row
Points for passing.
Loss of points for getting passed.
Points for any lap led.
Points for sweeping (Holeshot, lead every lap, Win)
-1 point for causing a caution
I'd also like to see factory Teams and support teams acquiring numbers, if you leave the team and get on another team you use the number that the team has on a specific bike. All privateers use 3 digits. Would help fans that don't actually race identify with riders because even I scratch my head every new year when the gate drops on whose who.
The racing format and points system aren't broken, but try stuff anyway. Like Matthes says, do something, and something might stick.
Oh, speaking of Matthes-- No overs-under this year is another problem.
Except the second moto they run the track backwards! Naw, I'm just playing. Or am I?
Drug testing for peds
A riders union
I am so pumped they brought back the semis AND both classes have 22 rider fields.
No 125 class- stupid idea getting rid of the 125 class at national/ world championship level!
The end-state will be something similar to Monster Jam, also a Feld entity. Meaning, the racing will still be racing, but Feld will own all the teams and all the rider's base salaries. The riders will be free to pursue outside personal sponsors as before, but all teams/bikes/riders will be "Feld employees", at least from January to May.
