I've talked with riders from a few 250 teams this year and give them the traditional "East or west?" question. For a lot of them, they say it doesn't matter, and that while they may have an idea where they'll end up, their teams are just asking them to be ready for A1, just in case. Things can change in a hurry due to injury, etc.

I'd guess we'll get some last-minute surprises as we get to A1.

Think anyone is going to choose one or another to avoid clashing with a certain power house rider?

Who are the powerhouse riders this year? I think that question might yet need to be resolved. Smile

Are you talking about Roczen?
Barcia,Hahn,Wilson,Tickle,Rattray,Hansen,Baggett,Wharton?
The 9 nine guys above could all win races in the Lites class this year.

I just hope that Roczen,Barcia,Wilson & Rattray are all on the same coast. Wink

I'll agree to that. Roczen, Barcia, and Wilson together would be a good watch. (not to leave any names out because, it's going to be interesting no matter what)

Biggest powerhouse I believe is Wilson. Fast indoors and outdoors, on PC bike for second year, consistent results for a young gun. Then Barcia, Hahn, Roczen, Rattray, Tickle, Baggett, Tomac.

I'm looking forward to see what Derek Anderson can do in his rookie season.

Just get it over with already and combine coasts... could you imagine the podiums every week? They would always be different.

didnt see wil hahn mentioned??? he said on dmxs that he and tomac will be on the west....if they are smart wilson will be out west so he doesnt have to go back to canada this year... and if roczen is gonna do the gp's wouldnt he need to be on the west. i dont know when the gps start. rattray and tickle would probably do better on the east with deeper , rutted dirt.... I think wilbur will be tough.

The whole East - West thing is stupid.. These guys are full time, pro racers. Let them race every round.

Bagget was coming on strong last year, now on PC, I think he and Wilson are the talent of the field...Roczen needs more experience...and what about Max Antsie, he was flying before he got hurt, isn't he riding for PC?

Unless he is talking about CP's brother.
I don't think Chris can race Lites again in SX.
He earned 160 last year in Lites SX,plus 2 East Lites championships back 2 back.
He obviously was allowed to defend his title last year,but
this year,I do not think so.

d. Effective with the 2007 season points, riders earning at least 135 Supercross Lites
Championship points in an nine-race season, 120 Supercross Lites Championship points in
an eight-race season, or 105 Supercross Lites Championship points in a seven-race season,
in three seasons of Supercross Lites competition will not be eligible for the Supercross Lites
class.
1. If the number of events in each of the Supercross Lites class regions is different, the
number of events used for points will be based on the smaller number. (i.e. if there are
eight West events and seven East events, the West riders would throw out their worst
finish for a maximum total of seven events)

Anderson is my darkhorse!, I think his first name is Jason, I believe Derek plays pro football?

Seems there is always a new rider that steps up and surprises the big names too.

I think Cole Seely is gonna win the West championship, no matter who races it.
