Least amount of winners in a year?

Every year we are like “deepest field ever!” 
but if you told me only 3 people won  this year, I wouldn’t be suprised at all..

what is the least amount of winners we ever had? 
gotta be either the MC or RC JS CR days..

For the last years we always had 5 race winners but this year it's gonna be 4 I think. Anderson and Webb will join Tomac and Sexton.

I said this in our post-race show, but I do not see us getting five (unless there are injuries).

Four is most likely and, heck, I'm open to having a conversation about there being just three.

You know what? I wouldn't laugh you out of the room if you said that #1 and #23 will win out.

This. 1996, Jeremy won all but one race, which was snagged by Emig.

I had Malcolm in that same category of potential winners.  That cat was on fire at A1!

Emig won St Louis.  There were also many racers injured that night in both classes.  Not a good night especially in the days when you didn't get X rays until you went to the hospital.

True, but we're not talking about win streaks.

If you wanna argue that it's not the same because it was a much shorter season, that's fine, but I still think it's a little unfair that Jimmy Ellis is completely overlooked on this topic.

Nice list!

More winners always makes a more exciting season.

IMO 1 winner would become boring

If you're counting SX & MX it would be 1996: Only 4 winners all year: McGrath Emig, Albertyn & LaRocco
