The undisputed fact is NONE of us know exactly how it will all sort itself out, if you say you know then you're a fool.
If they played it right WSX would be great on a few different levels.
1) Great place for veteran riders to wind their career down (Marvin)
2) Great place to throw rookies after LL's
3) Great place for riders to develop into good SX riders (Think NFL Europe and a guy like Kurt Warner)
The other situation I mentioned could be profitable for a team racing WSX. It seems like they are trying to make these teams have some value to be bought and sold etc. I understand this year is only 3 races but if it was a full season and Honda wanted to get Chance Hymas some SX before A1, they could pay a team like MCR $100K to put him on the team and get a good amount of SX races in before his rookie season actually starts. Might sound ridiculous at first glance but Honda already has a shit ton of money into him, why not put him in the best possible position to succeed?
It doesn’t make financial sense. Maybe when WSX realizes it would be better off as a fall series..

I get amused by the folks that piss and moan about the current state of affairs and then when someone comes along to upset the apple cart and make changes they get pissed.
Blind Freddy could have seen that the next most successful and experienced SX promoter after Feld, the Australian crew, would see obtaining World Championship status as a godsend.
WSX will play the long game and rely on current name riders but develop their own youngsters.
The people are experienced and competent: the car series they took over about 30 years ago is by far the most successful and durable 'tintop' road course series in the world, and still racing pushrod V8's.
I've said it before that I hope a rising SX tide lifts all boats and that the combined broadcast deal for the US Outdoors and SX series works out very well for the Nationals.
We've seen talented junior MX riders with no SX experience go from novice to AMA winners in a couple of seasons.
If WSX takes off as expected and gives a reliable, well paid pro career, SX style tracks will become part of junior training all over the place.
Hunter Lawrence?
Pit Row
And exactly what is wrong with that? Do we not want to see Marv racing anymore. How about Deano? Should we just throw kids like Jarret Frye away? Kid obviously has some talent he just wasn't ready to be thrown in the deep end.
And since the promoters are paying Eli ask Kenny to get them a crowd , I’m not sure if they quite believe it yet ,
On the riders going from Loretta to wsx, i thought the plan was to start in July or august next year ?
Nice try.....
Jett is once a decade type talent but his brother Hunter, just as fast when all out, is one of a number of very good riders that with the right guidance and self belief can get to SX championship standard.
It's my belief that with a strong juniors program where the youngsters- 13 to 16- race 250 4 strokes along side the men, same surface, same day, a moto before or after, whatever have the best chance of maturing quickly and becoming conversant with all facets of what is needed to succeed as a pro. This is what happens with EMX and why it is regarded as so useful- and has produced so many champions.
I'd like to know how the Belgians especially, the Germans, French, Italians, Dutch lead their youngsters up the ladder.
The Aussies have recently adopted the EMX program and as I said if the WSX works as well as it looks it will it will possibly seed more SX oriented junior programs which is good for everyone.
It is fair to point out the shortcomings of poorly run teams and shoddy behaviour but with a pro active franchisor in WSX there will be some strict governance applied, as has been the case with the car racing side. If the money is good in WSX and you are the parents and a young WSX talent the opportunity to travel and grow might be as attractive as a basic factory contract.
What if the Deegans' go to Feld and MX Sports and ask if they can sell merch at the races? If things don't change from current rules, they will be told no. With Hallie having a trailer selling a boatload of merch at NASCAR tracks there is no way they won't want to get some of that at Haiden's races. If they are allowed to sell merch at WSX races there is a big reason to go that route or make the current promotors change rules. Either way it is remaking the sport.
I don't know why some of you guys dig your feet in and insist that WSX is an annoying fly and will go away quickly and we will go back to business as usual. The purse increases alone means that the current promotors see the threat as real. I hope and believe that it will end up being a net positive for the entire moto industry.
They will continue to sell their merchandise the same way they do now
We all know that the AMA is the premier SX series with the best riders, so why do you feel so threatened by WSX that you feel the need to attack it at every given opportunity, from every possible angle? No matter how weak that angle is.
Is this a my SX is bigger than your SX thing? Do you drive a red convertible sports car?
Maybe it’s raining where he lives and he can’t get outside…maybe he needs to masturbate, not sure..🤷♀️
