Not just the last round, I'm pretty sure he ran the last 3 or 4 rounds and beat out the 450s and won, due to his huge point lead.
To B fair though in the woods a 450 is a big disadvantage.

C'mon, why did you have to bring common sense and forward thinking into the forum? Laughing I agree 100% with you. Excited to see how Kailub will do.

to be even more fair a 150 2 stroke is a disadvantage or everyone would be on one

Exactly, the 450 gives up a to a 350 and that’s it. If you think it’s easy to match a 450 with a small bore two stroke, you’ve obviously never seen the terrain in person

Pro like kr can handle a 450 just fine. Amateur riders however i agree a 450 is a major disadvantage. I ride a 250f in scrambles so i can actually ride the bike instead of the other way around. However in open fields i cant keep up with a 450. As far as a 150 goes that was all kailub. I dont think anuone else could do it.

You apparently don't know what a GNCC is then. A 450 may be a disadvantage on an extreme enduro type of track but it ain't a disadvantage (for a pro like KR) on a fast paced whooped out wide open GNCC track.

Alessi wore one at Freestone (I think) one year, and the couch warriors on here gave him shit for it. Saying he should be hydrated before the race, he's a professional athlete, blah, blah, blah. If the guy gets thirsty, the guy gets thirsty.
Guys would give Alessi shit if he saved a burning bus load of puppies.

about as clear as the point you’re trying to make? What point are you trying to make?

Watsy elevated GNCC to a new level. I took his class 4 years ago. Learned alot. He said the bikes he raced were 100% box stock, I can believe that.

Top 15 maybe, but thats about it as he is a legend OR. Higher then that i dont see it. Nor can i see rc, js, rv beating him in a gncc. Different world. He hasnt been running motos since he was 8 like the rest of them. Moto is tough business. I can do a 2 hour hare scramble at b pace. I can do 5 laps at c pace on a moto track and i am dead tired.
A lot of the top GNCC riders train on moto tracks quite a bit or at least they used to, many have since they were kids. I seen A lot of them around on practice days in ohio growing up. training on both benefits moto and woods racers, there's also only so many places you can ride woods and moto practice days are just easier to get some riding in sometimes. A lot of guys I grew up racing with raced both.

His last lap time was a 3:32. He probably got stuck on the highway 93 river crossing and the mud fleas could not pull him up the bank.

So there you go. 13th OA in a mudder. I would expect him to shine in a mudder. On a fast clear track, it would have been worse. But he did great in moto 1. Bad luck in 2. So the Jury is still out.

My point on the helmet cam is that his GNCC helmet cam I can keep up with. ON most pro moto full speed helmet cams I cannot even think that fast.
