I don't agree with that either. But at least they're at a pro level. Towers will be 21 by the time he makes his pro outdoor...

I don't agree with that either. But at least they're at a pro level. Towers will be 21 by the time he makes his pro outdoor debut. RJ and Smith are 28 and have 9-10 years in the class. If Towers follows that, he'll be older than anyone in the 450's right now when he decides to move up Laughing

Wasn’t JC 20 when he turned pro?

I guess you should take a much higher stress job and get paid less than you do today by your philosophy lol.

Why is Towers in the futures still? The kid is 19, going into his 4th year on a 250, and his 3rd year in the class...

Why is Towers in the futures still? The kid is 19, going into his 4th year on a 250, and his 3rd year in the class. When does the "future" become the present for him? 

Same reason theres vet guys racing the 250 class in general. Why rush when you can make the 250 class a career class.

Call the classes whatever you want, and put age li.its if you want.

But 250 and 450 classes are not equal.

I wish that people could drop this 450 class bs.

Just like other sports some riders fit a 250 better and that’s it. Let the little guys run a 250 if they want.

Look at a rider like Chiodi that won multiple titles on a 125 in gp’s but had a hard time on a 250.

 

Or look at A-mart that did decent on a 250 but had a hard time on a 450.

and then we have guys that fit a 450 better.

just let the riders ride the bike/class they are best suited for and be done with it.

Amazing watching the futures and 250B group how fast the top guys are there, then the A group just brings it to another level speed wise. These guys charge every millimeter of the track and it shows.

does anyone else think the dirt looks the worst it’s ever looked at Anaheim this year? did they procure it from a different location, maybe a landfill? it looks sandier, lighter, drier, rockier, and full of refuse.

It has nothing to do with a career in the 250 class. The kids making a career out of the amateur class. Everyone laughed at "We'll race him when it's time," but are defending a kid that has more years on the same bike in the amateur class than Haiden does on the 250 from Amatuers-2024 East.

Max Miller needs a good start and a clean race in the main. Qualifies well but main reults don't reflect his speed.
