Does anyone else think it is boring without the semi races? Watching them just 'ride around' trying to get a top nine finish is like watching paint dry in my opinion.
Having the semi's, the qualifiers were pretty good with guys trying hard (and actually racing) to make the top four. And then the semi races were entertaining with them trying to get top five. Plus, we see more racing.
Also, I like the idea of a rider having three chances to get in compared to only two.
The format is pretty boring right now. Someone commented the other day about how boring it is getting and they need to do something to spice it up. This is an easy thing to do and would help.

Bring on the Triple Crowns.
But bringing the semi's back does not put more slow guys in the final. Same top nine make it but better and more racing to watch.

But I would like to see a new B main
Make it a Money race for the Guys that didn't make the main.
Or a 125 race.
Isn't it a fact that these four strokes break down the track more than in the past and this schedule allows them more time to maintain the track?
Anyway, bring on the downvotes.
I don't want to see more racing that doesn't mean anything in the big picture. The championship guys will always(95%) qualify right from the heats or LCQ and that's what matters in the main.
It's funny, there was enough down time at A1 to do all sorts of other racing.
A lot of you guys love the acronym ROI and plainly there's a shitty ROI for SX tickets.
Again, 250s should be full time and at every fucking round. There should he a 125 regional series instead of the Futures bullshit, have an amatuer day fine but it should be for true amatuers. KTM kids should be at every round.
One of the things uninitiated friends of mine always ask is why is there so much down time at a SX event? I've brought people who thought the whole thing was boring and stupid because there's so little racing. They think the idiotic county fair bullshit they do at intermission is a farce and doesn't do the sport any favors. There's a shit ton of things that could make the program better but putting less bikes on the track for less time is counter intuitive. And again fuck the triple crowns. Hate's a strong word unless it's justified.
Outdoor format is way better. Qualifying happens before the show. Then every minute of what your watching matters.
Triple Crown is way better then the standard sx format. You lose most people before the mains start as it is.
L - losers
C - chance
Q - to qualify
Pit Row
I never much liked the semis. 10 generally unimportant races taking up the first 1:40 of the broadcast, followed by the two races that actually matter. Semis were always the least interesting out of the Heat-Semi-LCQ. The fastest guys usually weren't in them anyway, and even if you didn't make top 5, you still had another chance in the LCQ. Always felt like filler, and half the time I just fast forwarded from the last heat to the last couple laps of the 450 LCQ.
