What a great story if two nice guys that have worked hard win each coast.

Mitch is gold too, his interviews are awesome with the history of the sport.

If Vialle wins this year, he has only 2025 left in the 250 class and then he would be forced up to a 450? In that case i actually hope he doesn't win this year yet. I think it would be too soon for him to move up in 26.

So McAdoo & RJ for me.

I thought the new rule is only champions can be forced?

Yeah that is why i'm wondering if he will be forced up for 2026 if he wins the title this year.

Kitch allegedly left Star to have more freedom in his training and to get away from the Deegan circus. Both him and Cam seem to be a 180 from Deegan.

I really hope Kitchen gets it, I'm obviously partial to NW guys but I also think he can use it as a springboard to be a bad ass 450 guy in the not so distant future.

Hampshire has had a decade to make it happen, if he had the stuff to be a 450 contender he wouldn't still be racing kids that were on 50s when he went Pro.

Agree- Levi Kitchen seems like he will be an excellent 450 racer. Kawasaki was smart to get an option on him for 2026 or beyond.

I’ve said this before, if Levi wins SX west this year, it lines him up perfectly to be the 2nd 450 Kawi guy in 2026 after Anderson’s contract is up.

McAdoo. This story has been under construction for a very long time. He's locked in, riding consistent, and god willing...will probably hit his healthiest point in the series when they come back in a few weeks. I'm a bit biased, as he's from here, but I really believe this is his title to go and take. I went to Indy and called him to win that one...hopefully, I catch a prediction roll.

Kitchen was very smart about it. Knew there wasn’t a 450 future at Star. Shimoda on the other hand made a big mistakes. In line to be Kawi’s next guy, but instead to a chance to be on an under powered 250 on a team with no 450 spots due to Hunter and Jett

McAdoo has so much heart it's hard not to root for the guy.

MItch has had a nightmare run with titles,  Dean Wilson, Adam C and Forkner are some of the most winnest riders in 250 SX,  yet none have had a title, 

 

would love to see Mcaddoo win the title,  hes come the hard way up, even driving someones bus to races to make it work,

I think McAdoo will get it done.  

And I'm a big Levi fan, but really pulling for RJ.  His heart and effort is outstanding.  And what he puts in for MXoN, etc?  Class act...

dang, never thought about it that way for Shimoda, but you make a great point and it would seem that his move to Honda was very short-sided.

As much as I like Kitchens this year. I believe that RJ Hampshire is going to win the West in 2024.

I remember not very long ago they led both coasts like now and ended up winning neither of them. So I will hold off congratulating them just yet. Saying that I would like them to win at least one title.

Especially when Mitch sure sorted out the Kawi's at the end of the summer. The PC bikes were ripping. I was at Budds and they were pulling Hunter everywhere. That Honda can't be helping his already poor starts

Levi worked everyone tonight. A 20+ second lead over RJ is absolutely insane. That just cemented him as the clear favorite to win the championship.

Biggest margin of victory we’ve seen in quite a while. Though smith was somewhat close before the crash, he still dominated that main event start to finish and looked smooth as butter while doing it. Definitely looks to have the stuff needed to ride a 450 well.
