The only points I see being made are far reaching assumptions about changing the face of racing in America. I am a fan so hope the World SX series makes it but have lived long enough not to not jump the gun with assumptions and hyperbole.
Very interested to see how it unfolds in the hope that is can co-exist with the nationals.
It’s interesting to me that none of the big euro sx races have signed up for this series , and I presume they will still run meaning that the big time guys can still make money in the off season at Paris Geneva etc

I love the nationals and have been making it to a new one every year the past 4 years WW Ranch, Loretta's, Budds Creek and this year I think I'm driving to High Point. That being said it can't be denied that there are guys that choose not to go outdoors. It may not be the absolute top of the field but guys like Brayton, Friese, Chiz, Starling, A-Ray and Clason add a lot of talent to a gate.
america is not the only country that has alot of money...... Other people in other countries have bank and could put together expensive teams probably better than the usa without our American bureaucracy getting in the way.
There could also be top riders down in say Brazil or Argentina who just cant get into the usa's fast 40 in our national sx/mx series... they want to but just cant do it.
However this series could provide a viable option to those kind of racers.

Watering down our Sx probably wont happen ever. However im 100% onboard to see some other top riders who kick ass racing a world supercross series.
Also the nationals are staying put regardless, the racing is not going to suffer, people will just have more options.
Boil it all down... Which series is going to pay the most and give a rider the best chance to win?? That's where some will go.
I swear reading some of the comments here, basically some of you guys just want america to keep a monopoly on the sport... I want to see it global like F1... have some vision.
Not much will change year one or two, maybe even three. But lets see how the whole global moto industry looks at this in three to four years time when everyone has adapted to this series being in the mix.
I don't want to see it hurt the nationals, but seeing a different format will be a nice change of pace.

Using Brayton as an example i watch sx to see the top few guys race, not lappers. Even if Tomac goes how great will the racing be when he laps up to 2nd. Its all about the actual product.
WSX is a net positive for the teams and riders wanting to make money, no matter what happens.
Someone brought up F1 as an example and there's a reason some of the best drivers strive to be there, money! I'll admit I am a newer fan, but in reading, there are people who admit racing and parity is much better in Indycar racing. But Indy doesn't pull the same notoriety, and I think the pay isn't as much as top level F1 contract too.
Either way, I agree that if this pushes American SX/MX and MXGP to raise their game, I think there's a world that all 3 of these ventures could be successful (whatever that may look like is probably different for all of us.).
