I just want something better, I can see the potential and now that Feld has the keys to the place, and not CC, maybe they are open to suggestions.
Did you think you came up with some new outstanding insightful topic that no one else did before you?
Nope, don't bash WWR, that's a positive. There are a lot of positives in the sport, just so happens all of those positives didn't come from anything Feld/Pace/AMA/LiveNation came up with.
On the contrary, those great promoters have taken their own fan base away by taking the amount of racing that was in the show away.
It's not Feld's deal at all.
I can see why you think so ,
but I think & know your wrong.
Look, whether it's production bikes
against works bikes as in the past,
or say good tracks against the bad,
as they say, "the cream always rises to the top".
That's what you have here.
Regardless of year, team , or all else, the "winners'"
are what they are. That's why they're "winners".
Even in say "pro golf", they handicap players, &
again, "the cream rises to the top".
That's just it!

The people who care are the enthusiasts of the sport but you claim we are not their target market so why would they change for us?
getting thigter, and more fun to watch, I think
Make that a "Dash for Cash"
The top non-quali's can race a "B Main"
I read on maybe I looked at it differently.
But again, Feld can suggest only!
Maybe "strong arm" some in the AMA's direction
for change. You see Feld doesn't sanction the race
or make rulings or rule changes. Schedule changes
even are run by the AMA. There's that little piece
of paper called a contract, & the AMA's king!
It's Feld's show, yet AMA's series & race!
Chad Reed's series down under has some interesting
things going on to make it & keep it exciting.
But again, outside of snake pits & alligators, winners
will rise to the top. Format changes for next year,
I agree, bring it on, at least as far as discussion goes.
Of course, between Feld & the AMA they have to think
as spectators then maybe they'll see it too..............

10 shootout races of 2 laps each (or maybe 5 at 4 laps each). 1st place- 20pts, 2nd- 19, 3rd- 18, etc. Gate picks are opposite of prior shootout results. Give them ~2 minutes after end of each 2-lap shootout to get back in the gates, and send them back out towards the first turn 45 seconds later.
This would be tough to pull off, but personally I would also like to see the top ten qualifiers in a "A Main" and the bottom ten in a "B Main" with both of them seperately running the previously mentioned 10 2-lap shootouts.
Everyone has to admit that watching them all slam into that first turn packed in together. We also have to admit that with the current format we are watching the leaders start lapping guys 2-3 laps in. This just creates a big sea of riders all around the track for the spectators at the track and even those watching on tv.
With this format we would get to see the exciting start 10 times and not have to watch a blob of riders engulf the track.
Whatcha think?

Unfortunately MX/SX is all about 1 person and when the gate drops that one person will win most of the time. There isnt much anyone can do to change that.
I think the sport should do something to level the playing field when it comes to the equipment. Make everyone run stock engines or something. The advantages that a factory team have over a privateer are incredible.
Like someone else said atleast nascar has made steps to level the playing field and the racing has got much better. All the cars are identical, no testing anymore, 1 engine per weekend, etc.....Nascar has done several things for the little guy to be able to be competitive and the money it has saved everyone is off the charts.
In MX/SX whoever has the deepest pockets gets the best rider and the best equipment.
I dont think changing a race format is going to change the outcome of these races. JS & CR will still be up front.
And for the one who thinks the guys that drive in Nascar are not atheletes, your an idiot. You have no idea what it takes to drive one of those cars for 4 hours at those speeds. The endurance, concentration, hand eye coordination they have are off the charts. This isnt Billy BoB racing in the mountains anymore. I wouldnt bash a sport that has turned itself into a billion dollar operation. I would pay attention and learn from them.
let's hear yer shit chuck...something other than eddie cockthorton. you fucking disgust me....
When everyone is on the same level the racing is great.
I guess: MC, RC, Reed, & Stewart have ruined MX & SX because they are so good.
Take that handicap & restrictor plate bullshit back to the links and the oval.
B Mains & Super Mains would be sweet as hell though.
more rutty, technical, chop, longer laptimes, more sand, less jumps........
just the same old suggestions
Dave O. I think Feld has more power than most believe when it comes to the format. They took out the semi's for TV and I think they can make other changes to support spectators as well. I agree, it's a slippery slope, but the AMA knows the drill, they can be gone tomorrow and no one will care.
The 250 class is the only class that's remotely interesting now. I don't agree with any change that cripples bikes or puts everyone on stock equipment. Safety becomes a factor. If anything, I say get rid of all the rules on production crap and let the "works" bikes out...
Safety a factor if they were on a stock bike? Come on dude are you kidding me?
This is suppsed to be professional racing not some circus event where they handicap the best riders and make them kill themselves trying to get to the front where they deserve to be. Not every race is going to be 5 guys side by side battling for 20 laps.
I would like to see some of the racing be a little more competitive but it doesnt need to be a freak show trying to get there.
JS is one of the best in the history of this sport. Sit back and enjoy history in the making.
We all know who has the best chance to win but we never know who is going to win.
If you dont go to a race for that reason then maybe you arent the fan you claim to be.
How about a few points for holeshots, this would enable 800 to finish the season in the top ten.
As for Feld you can expect to see changes next year.
A. Not a true fan or
B. Have a severe case of ADHD and you need to get your doses adjusted .
Post a reply to: Feld - I suggest you fix the SX format ASAP
