Chase has obviously raced Eli head to head, and knows his potential…but Jett hasn’t. I’m not saying Tomac could just come back & smoke Jett…but if Jett thinks Eli won’t be stiff competition, with the ability to beat him straight up if he makes a mistake, or not…he’s got another thing coming.

Chase gave Eli all he could take.  Chase has not been nearly as competitive against Jett, I’m not saying it can’t happen, but Eli is going to need to find another gear if he’s going to have anything for Jett.

Just a question for you then: Do you truly think Chase is back to 100% speed right now? In YOUR opinion.

What i see is Jett and his brother are both the most prepared and determined. Not gonna start with the depleted field stuff but the lawrences showed up READY. I don't think alot of other guys did and the ones that did weren't exactly title threats anyways (win threats maybe).

Eli will be ready or he wont be attending. Chase will be attending regardless and we don't really know about the bike status. We'll have to see. Jett will be ready. Cooper will be ready. Anderson is a wild card.

Cooper will be ready? You sure bout that one? He'll be trying to get used to a new bike after years on an Austrian one.

YES, I do. Chase has said it himself, he is going as fast or faster than last year and has not even gotten a wheel in on Jett. He's not making excuses, why are you? Is is not possible that Jett is just faster ?

You guys are also missing that there may be a chance that Tomac and Webb work together all winter since they're on the same team now. Next year gon' be good.

Chase is riding faster and smarter than last year's outdoors.

That’s an interesting statement considering Chase himself has said the exact opposite multiple times since coming back.

Webb obviously has respect for Tomac based on listening to him this last year.   I think the same can be said for Tomac regarding Webb...but he keeps his cards closer to the vest.  lol  

Would be cool to see them train together.

Chase, Jett and Eli are all world class racers. They all believe they can beat each other. They don’t have the type of mentality that they won’t win. That’s why they’re better than the rest. You don’t get to their level not believing they can’t/won’t win.

I already know according to Vital that if Eli beats Jett it's because Jett was "never that good", and if Jett beats Eli it's because Eli has had "too many injuries".

Tomac is an absolute savage but can’t some of you realise that Jett might just be faster?!

Hopefully next year we will find out!

This year has given Jett the opportunity to learn the 450. While he may or may not be as fast as ET3 was. It remains to be seen if he is as fast as ET3 will be. But we all have to acknowledge that in this sport, at a certain age, you don't get faster, and Jett is still getting faster. So ET will have to ride smarter. Jett's pretty fu@king smart for his age. If Chase had Jett's smarts last year, I think we'd see some different results. Regardless, next year will be epic!

Visually he's definitely NOT going faster than last year. At nearly every round Chase isn't attacking the track like he did last summer with Eli. He's not riding smarter, he's tipping over nearly every final lap. AND you could visually see that Sexton's bike is underpowered compared to Jett's. Millville's big hills were an eye opener. Chase is maybe 20 lbs heavier than Jett. Jett had zero problems jumping the uphill triples whereas Sexton was lifting, even if they got on the gas in the same spot with the same line choice. Stewart even mentioned that Jett's bike was noticeably faster than Sexton's bike at Millville. So I know I'm not alone on the engine being a factor. Chase also doesn't want to admit he's going slower than last year, who would?
