I know this has been talked about before but I think once you get lapped you should pull off and that is where you finish,, I see some guys just riding around looking like they are spectating at race from on the track.
I somewhat agree with this, seems it would make for better racing trying not to get lapped but once you do its over.

Looking at Indy(this was the track) at the start, he was with Seely(p11), and according to J-Bone, Seely accidentally took Reed out.
Reed was then in last, an entire section behind 21st, and caught and passed Seely by the end.
Reed’s lame start cost him a shot at another top 5. He has the will, but I’m not sure he has the method for dealing with his age. He seems fit but not sharp enough to hang with the top 5 consistently. He’s maybe the most talented guy out there, but at 37, he needs someone like Baker, and completely psycho focus, daily, to have a chance at being a real threat.
IMO, as a long time 22 fan.

It would for the most part just eliminate the same old problem.

So if say on the first lap Baggett, Webb, Marvin, Roczen, or Tomac gets taken out and has to get a new front wheel. As they are coming back on the track they are passed by Reed who is leading, they should be forced to pull off?

Maybe setup a rule that if the race is down to 5 laps or half way then give them the boot.

He was charging gaining position the whole race and then ur forced to basically come to a stop and roll the entire track. Too many riders on the track period. Sx is a circus. Still fun to watch becsuse its dirt bike's but it has its problems a plenty.
I still think they should start taking the last place rider off the track after lap 5. Like in road crits...last place guy gets pulled from the race each lap to ensure the front pack has as much clean air as possible. It's not a perfect fix, but for sure would help.

At least two laps down you should be getting the boot. 18th place was lapped twice 4 times so far this year, 17th twice, and 16th once.

Did you see MA800 off of the start? He rolled through the first corner last place, looked like he was doing the sighting lap?

Some of you guys need to go back and look at the race- Reed crashed in the opening laps, putting him last by a couple of corners, he managed to come back through all the way to eleventh on a one lined track. He was racing Seely on the last lap and made that pass on the last lap when the alleged misdemeanour happened.
His average lap time for the whole race was seventh fastest despite the crash. As far as the series points go, every position counts. On a track like that, in a situation like that, shit is gonna happen. Look at every rider being lapped and there's heaps of these incidents. Sure Bagget might be pissed, but he wouldn't have got Musquin at that stage anyway, so move along, nothing to see here.....

Bagget had 20 mins to make it happen, most of that without lappers....

This is pro racing, I don't think we should be removing anyone from the race...

Absolutely also he wouldn’t of got lapped either if he had a start. Like most riders once your in around 8 position or worse it’s very difficult to find a rythym hence why they get lapped.
He was probably racing Bagget so he could game some pace on those just ahead of him more than being a dick. He is paid to race I think a lot of crew forget .
