I stated 2, of which neither carry the weight of retiring or holding a number.
Some have said the undefeated season was borderline sandbagging.
If you saw him that year, you'd have to agree, he belonged in the big boy class with Ricky.
There was nobody even close to him in his final year on the 125.
But I digress, he did the deed, he deserves recognition for it.
But to retire or hold a number for that?
What on Earth did he do to be called Very Signifigant?
More titles than McGrath?
More Titles than RC?
Come on, I wanna hear it, I know what you're sidestepping around, I just want to hear you say it.
No solid fact or retort, resort to insults eh? Is that how you live your life?

If Villopoto or if you want, McGrath, said today that they were coming out of retirement to race in 2017 would you be accepting of them being able to run the 2?
My strong belief is a majority of those for Stewart losing the 7 would be more then supportive and probably would rally around the idea anyway they could to make sure they got to run the 2..
Oh and good afternoon Vital crew..
1. Allowing 4 strokes Double Displacement
Obviously the four-stroke motorcycle required an enormous handicap in order to be competitive with the lighter, faster, less costly, two-stroke motocross machines in the late 1990’s. It seems that this now outdated rule is now causing the less expensive, and more reliable, two stroke machines to become eliminated. Eliminating two-strokes was never the intent of the rule !!! I think it’s time the AMA and MX Sports work to adjust the AMA’s severely outdated “Double Displacement” rule.
2. Timed Practice:
It forces the riders to ride the fast line during practice, thus insuring a one-lined racetrack. They used to place hay bales on the insides, or in the good line during practice, to create more lines. Motocross is about racing, not just who can do ONE FAST LAP. Real racers would like to see a return to morning qualifiers for the AMA Outdoor Nationals with timing used to limit the entries to two qualifiers each for the 125cc and 250cc classes.
Soooo much wrong, here.
2008
600 points (24X25pts)
KX450F SR
And, as for what -YOU- are reaching for?
That ain't where I'm at; and, you shouldn't be.
Onto the subject at hand, it's my belief that the number 2,4,7,14,22 etc are synonymous with guys like Villopoto, McGrath, Stewart, Windham, Reed and if they're available they should run them. To have Stewart on the line with say a 85 or 92 and a rookie in the 450 class, like Webb with the 7 is a total farce. This is the era of career numbers and James Stewart should be #7 until he retires. I understand the rules but.... Anyways I think if Webb or anyone else wants #7 they should be able to put in for it and have it issued to them as soon as Stewart retires but out of respect they should not run the number until that day. Stewart is after all a legend in this sport.
Would you be in favor of Villopoto being able to run #2 in 2017?
Some of you guys are almost like a 15 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert.
Stew comes back you guys got a special set of panties to throw on the track?
didnt he race 259 before the 7 ??
As for the subject at hand, I'm really not invested one way or another. I get that riders want to build a brand around a number, and I get that the sanctioning body has to limit the amount of time a rider can hold on to a number. If they let Stewart keep 7, I get it and I'm fine with it. If they decide to strictly enforce the rules, I get it and I'm fine with it.
Anyways good luck to Stewart and I hope he earns the 25pts and this becomes moot but if he doesn't I think it's blasphemy to have him on the line come A1 with any number other then 7.
Another backyard psychoanalyst.
No, I did just fine in High School. Got anything else?
And 298 is right, I thought he went undefeated on the 125, so what.
Like I said, he was/is a great rider.
So were a lot of other guys.
Construct a Shrine of him in Pinkerton Ohio if that gets you guys off.
Me. I'd like to see where they finished last year on their bike, always have, always will.
You don't agree, that's cool, you wanna throw insults like a little kid, right back at you, bro.
Pit Row
I am torn between the right for legends to keep their number racing ....or they just get reallocated based on total points earned the previous season....I see and get the logic for both sides of the arguement
Either way, he will still be running the big number 7 next year.
I just cant remember what site it was on, I suck! lol
