... why do they continue to run the silly red backgrounds? Seems redundant to me.

The red back ground should be used for the current points leader and passed week to week if it changes.

The blue background was for the Grand national champions, the WORCS series stole those from us

They ran the Blue/Yellow combo again in the early 90's when Camel sponsored SX.

I never understood why the AMA used the same plate color, but put it only on the current champions bike.

I think the red backgrounds look pretty awesome. I reminds me of the blue one back in the day.

What if the guy with the Red back ground (past champ) is also the points leader? Does he get a technicolored dream background...half blue, half red?

How 'bout past champ runs the # 1...points leader runs red back ground...rookies run yellow.

Maybe they could figure out a way to make all past champs on the track stand out...certain color jersey or something.

That way, if a random person flips on SX...they'll know who the defending champion is, who is the current leader in the series, and who all the past champs are...that will give them an idea of who stars are and things...make it a bit easier for the casual fan to get interested.

Champs run the number one plate.

Points leader runs the red plate.

Make it so.
