I sure hope The Dunge races outdoors at least.

I'm so happy for JG33.

Eli's a bad dude no doubt and he was going for it is all I can say.

I can't wait to see Musquin grow and compete for a championship.

It will be interesting to see if JA can ever put a season together for a championship.

I hope Webb finds whatever is missing for him on the 450.

BRING ON THE OUTDOORS!!! I think both the 250 and 450 class should prove interesting and entertaining.

In another thread, I suggested that Eli's strategy should be to stay right with Dungey and let him pass and then pass him back and hope for a mistake. Someone else suggested that Eli bunch up the pack and hope for a Dungey issue to result from the scrum. LOT'S of people said that was dumb in those threads. Eli did exactly these things and came very close to having it work out. Solid try and great season. Can't wait for the Outdoor races to start!

The people making out like Eli was riding dirty or that he tried to kill Dungey with this strategy really need to step back and take a breath and get some perspective. I'll admit that the "slow down up in front and hope for something to happen" strategy isn't something that Dungey would ever try, but 3/4ths of the other riders would try it in a heartbeat (and then some). It's racing and it's the last race and the championship is on the line. It made for an epic finish!

True 250 was Epic and the 450 was not the snoozfest at all!

It really did make it an exciting race...lol If Tomac had checked out on everyone they probably would have been spread way out. Not the best situation but Dungey kept it together. I am always amazed at how clean Dungey is ALWAYS. He is the real deal no doubt about it! Too bad his fans are so rabid....lol

Most epic, crazy, insane, night of racing I've ever witnessed. I'm so glad I got a ticket to this. The crowd was very into it as well. That was nothing short of a spectacular finale.

Psychological warfare was Tomac's hail mary last hope and his only option. Anyone who thinks that isn't fair game racing, let alone for a championship, is making themselves look silly.

Couldn't be happier about how deserving both champions are, and how mind blowing of a season this turned into. Still trying to comprehend what I witnessed tonight..

Great racing!!! I started yelling and screaming when Osborne made the pass! I waked up my newborn baby, wife and mother in law haha

I'm a fan of racing on any form... specially motocross of course, I'm a Dungey fan and like a lot of other people said what happened last week and what happened today was totally acceptable!! Osborne pass, musquin helping Dungey, Tomac holding up the pack... that's what made this season memorable!! Hill was the best guy on the west coast, Osborne on the east and Dungey on the 450s the best guys won!

The logic of some of you guys that said that the guy with most wins is the best and deserves the championship and yada yada are wrong, by that standard if someone win the first 9 races they should be champions and what about the other 8 races? That guy can just sit out ? Dungey was the best all season long, period.

That was more like a cycling race than a SX race. You can't blame Tomac for what he was trying, im not a fan of what he was trying, but at the same time you understand it was his only chance.

But you can't really complain about dodgy tatics one day then pull out a different type of dirty tactic the following day, that just looks bad.

End of the day it does not matter, Dungey wins his 4th title and will go down in history of one of the all time greats. Tomac now has the chance to take over as the rider to beat in 2018.

Great race in both classes, was good to see Cianciarulo get the win dude deserved it.

Another good season put in by Dungey, he is a champion you have to to give him that. But, how can people say what Tomac did was dirty? He could have easily taken Dungey out completely but just waited for him to make a mistake hoping others would pass him. I mean you can't hate a dude for doing that to try get a championship when the week before the guy he is battling gets the race and 3 points handed to him.

Was a great season anyways and makes the Nationals coming up that much more exciting!

Roger is very socialy akward. I met him in St Louis and he just dosent say much. He keeps to himself and doesn't really interact with anyone. He did talk to Davey Milsaps for a few minutes.
