He'd be singing a far different tune about the whole series if he had a 450 guy that had won it....  Sorry, but it looked pretty obvious on our end.

F**k Coker. If he wanted to win a real championship his team could have agreed to participate in the MXON.

No I agree with Coker. This is just a glorified monster cup that was used to push wsx around. It was great to have some extra races and have Chicago to go to. But yeah it's not a real title. But those checks thier cashing are plenty real.

The money is great for the guys. Do they really need more races at the end of the season? Nope. Now we lost a National and the guys are even more fried and don't want to do the MXdN. I certainly can't argue with these guys getting paid but as a fan I couldn't care less about these races

Don't really care about those comments, but in general I think there is a clear contrasts between Star's conduct and Honda's, for example. Star protests and bitches about everything, meanwhile Lars runs a classy operation over at Honda. I'm glad Honda was finally redeemed this year.

Let's not act like we don't understand where Coker is coming from. Yes, coming through and performing in three high-pressure races to win a "playoff" is a great accomplishment. Good for Deegan and good for the team. But, obviously, the "championships" that the riders and fans of this sport think of in the highest regard are the SX chip and the MX chip. You know, the titles that they've consistently raced for since the early '70s.

I disagree.  Although he is Christians brother, I believe the excellent job he has done at Star is what brought his name into the discussion.  People may not agree with Stars decision to participate in the MXON this year or how Bobby does business, but a lot of those guys over there have busted theirs butts to make that program successful.

That's 50% more than WSX.

Not to be the grammar police but was it an autocorrect problem with the title?

No, they're not.  If you read my post I didn't mention anything about 'world champions'.

However, Coldenhoff is a MXON champion with the Netherlands.

Lars is a class act.

I like the SMX Finals.  It's a high intensity, high stakes pressure cooker, with most racers racing their hearts out.  Plus, all the racers made some good money out of it.  It adds to racing during the MX and SX seasons too, as it gives riders between 10th and 20th in the standings a reason to push the entire race in order to place 14th instead of 15th.

I would like to see riders step up for MXoN though.

You said a real championship.   A mxon weekend isnt a championship. It is a team event.

The SMX is kind of like a 3-race USOpen. If they want to call it a championship then no problem.

Can call it a championship ship if you want, with big trophies, $ and a ring. But it’s 3 rounds. Everyone knows Sx and Mx carries more weight. Coker is very correct with what he said. It’s what they work all year for those titles. Losing sx probably still hurts. This is a spectacle at the end of a long ass season.

I agree 100%. I have loved this play off series and despite Matthes essentially shitting on it, it has worked out exactly as advertised. The racing was awesome and it was also great to see these guys make some good cash.
