Bring back the 80's catapult Miller High life supercross "Longest jumper"
Remember back in the Pontiac Silverdome, think it was around 80 to 84, Some dude jumped from the Beginning of the jump, out of a sharp/short left hander 5 feet from the turn,. Landed right on the left turn berm that was at least 2 thousand feet. Ok maybe 200 feet. but it was something nobody did on a 2 stroke in those days. He sent it, Big time to collect $500 bucks.
Wish I could find my pics of it.
Amazing; Evil Knievel shit..
You are forgetting AMA Pro Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross are controlled by the manufacturers, not amateur riders or the fans.
Not forgetting, but I appreciate your point 👍
I don't want to turn this into one of those threads, but it seems crazy half of the manufacturers made a decision to stop making them, so nobody can use them, or those manufacturers will throw their toys out of their pram 🤯
Even Beta could show up with a two stroke.
You don’t think the manufacturers have any say in Canada, Australia, UK and most of Europe?
Don’t forget the actual manufacturers, means Japan and Austria, as well the UK and Italy now, with Triumph and Beta, and soon with Ducati.

You forgot Spain!
True, so the homologation numbers should just be adjusted.
100 bikes would be a good number, no ?
(If so, then Fantic-Yamaha, Sherco, TM and maybe some more may want to play too)
Reverse order gate picks based on SEASON points (not the nights qualifying times that ended so badly in the 70s).
I have a feeling that we are coming on a few years of Jett runaways, ala Mcgrath & Carmichael, and would like to head that off.
Perhaps, try it out in the first two heats of a Triple Crown to see if the racing is more interesting to the fans. I know the riders wont like it.
I get where shimoda is coming from (given his bad starts) but staggered starts would mean the race is pretty much decided in qualy and you can actually rename supercross to startercross then
Is Bultaco making a comeback?!……Lo siento
Penton is!
Why would this be needed?
Yeah, no.
Because the factory teams get all pissy when privateers riding done up 2 strokes make their 4 strokes look bad off the starts.
If you could CHANGE a rule, but to Vital that means reconstructing the entire series.
Isn't that a wild interview with the NASA employee
PRO - Double the current points structure and pay points to the entire field both indoors and out. It ridiculous that someone builds a $$$ 250F, qualifies for a national, and comes out with no points. How do you market the current ROI to potential sponsors for the guys who need it most when 20-40 goes home with nothing.
AM: The AMA prohibition on helmet mount cameras is ridiculous. Enough with that one already.
Love that idea. We’d have three mains.
Pit Row
I don't see why the regional 250 SX points are a problem.
Yeah, the riders are only competing against half the field of riders. But, they are also only riding half the races. So it's not like they have some huge advantage over 450 riders.
Not everyone gets a trophy.
(F1, only the top 10 gets points, MotoGP only the top 15 get points)
Starts on dirt, not grates, not concrete pads. Dirt. You race on dirt , you start on dirt.
With teams like HEP being up front in the 450 class I don't think we need factory teams anymore. I don't think it matters if the manufactures get pissed off. We don't really need them in the way we may have 10 years ago. Privately built bikes are just as good as a factory bike. Even better in some cases i.e. Yamaha.
No complete restarts for red flag. Staggered start.
Although it was funny watching idiots in amateurs 20+ yrs ago on cement pads sit there burning the hell out of their rear tire trying to "heat it up" or put some rubber down for a better start. I'll never forget one kid's dad had him burn through like 1/4in of knobbies and still ended up mid pack. The start is half the race and it's sad to see today these guys have all these devices that takes so much of that talent and ability out of the equation.
Regional class. National number.
They didn't count towards earning a top 100 for the longest time.
Everyone gets a trophy.
Sounds to me their bikes are slow.
Pretty brain dead take, a built 250f is never going to compete fairly with a built 250 2T which were once the premier bikes. The whole point of 250 equivalence is to make for fair racing for both bikes and every other major organization that has equivalency rules restricts 250 2T bikes to stock everything from intake to exhaust port.
I mean sure if your goal is to make the 250 class a 2T class then let them run 60+ hp bikes but that would never fly with the current manufacturers
250 SX be a national class with all 17 rounds. No more east west.
The stupid rule not allowing the use of helmet mounted cams. You cant tell me its not safe if you give the pro guys a pass that they can run them.
Production rule. The premier class in MX in the USA runs production based bikes. NHRA, MotoGP, MXGP, and F1 are huge because of prototypes, so is Dakar. Pretty sure Tony Bou's bike isn't production based either. Joe nobody at Creek flats raceway can build a bike ineligible for AMA's premier MX/SX class in this country. Doesn't make sense.
