Shimoda 9-1

9-1

LoL!

Seems like a Sexton score 😎

Didn't someone go like 7-6 (or maybe 5-4) and get a podium a few years ago? 

The strangest non-podium I've seen was Forkner a few years ago. I can't remember how it happened, but he went 3-3 and missed the overall podium.

John Dowd  2009 Southwick 450 class went 10-2 for 3rd overall. and did it at 44 years old !  Who'd of thought

The Lawrence fans butthurt level is unreal 😎 

I’m actually a Sexton fan. I’m sure Chase would agree to some point. Chase has already exceeded everyone’s expectations so far. Shimoda though? Mmm, not so much.

Ramsey earned 3rd overall at Glen Helen in 2004 with an 11-4. This was the race where Stewart switched to the 4-stroke after racing the KX125 all season. 

Remind me again how an 11-4 beats a 9-5?  I know it has something to do with moto points.  Serious question.

Didn't remember Ramsey going 11-4 for 3rd overall, that's a good one and probably the lowest point total (28 points).  I remember two other close ones from the 2001 season, Huffman 3rd overall with 29 points, Rodrig Thain 3rd overall with 30 points.

Side note:  I went 9-1 in the beginner class for a 3rd overall decades ago.  The first time I won a moto.

Did Sexton sex your chick or what

It is a tie points-wise but the better 2nd moto score gave Nate P3

Just kidding….

Both of those scores would total 28 points.  If it is a tie between two scores the better finish in the second moto breaks the tie and that rider scores higher overall.  11th = 10 points, 4th - 18 points (28 total).  9th = 12 points; 5th = 16 points (28 total).  The 4th place versus the 5th place in the second moto makes that score better overall.

Southwick 09 - most random podium ever?

Goerke 6-1 | 1

Byrne 3-3 | 2

Dowd 10-2 | 3

Mookie would go 9-1 for 13th somehow, I swear he always gets the shaft.

A rider that actually raced at Soutwick, Gert Krestinov from Estonia, got his only GP overall win with an 8-1 back at Lommel in 2008.  It was a big upset, he was 17th in the championship that year.

Interesting note: if that '04 Glen Helen race would have been held in 2024, though, Ramsey would have only earned 5th overall.  With the new points system, both Kelly Smith and Danny Smith would have scored 29 points each, since all the 5th-21st place positions earn 1 additional point. 

I just had to mess around haha.

I went 4-2 at a local race for the win once.

2009 southwick 450 class was pretty weird. 
 

edit. Dowd 3rd overall with 10-2

Good find 

Philthy Phil has been Phlucked over many many times!

I don't remember the exact year but I'm sure Rattray won a GP with a 7-2 or something crazy like that many years ago.

Craziest results I've seen personally

2-2 for the win,
4-1 for 2nd,
1-4 for 3rd. 

All three scores beat a 3-3. 

Yoshihide Fukadome 26th place. Just thought it was a kick butt name.

I went 5-3 for first overall once. No idea how I managed that.
