I'm expecting Davies to win right out of the gate.. and hopefully Brown can keep it off the ground. He has shown some incredible speed at times. Forkner could have had a great series, but.... 

I was a little surprised that in a recent video, ML said Hammaker is his favorite to win.  I can see that but Davies is my pick. Having said that, I have no idea how any of the offseason has gone and how much they are each "killing it in season prep".

Seth proved last year that he really smoothed himself out and is able to remain consistent and still fast. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if he’s even better than he was last year. If he’s 100% healthy, his combination of experience, composure, and speed make him the favorite. Davies is fast for sure, but he’s still basically a rookie. I do think Davies is capable of winning the title, but Seth is the favorite.

That's fair, I just hope we get some awesome battles!

I like Hammaker, seems like a very nice dude and I think it's awesome that he got back to this level after a couple of years of struggling and injuries. But I feel like if he wants to beat Davies (considering Davies is even better than last year) he's gotta step up his consistency. He looked great in his two wins, but he was only on the podium three times actually and in those other races he looked off or wasn't really racing forward. But when he was on he definitely looked super fast. I feel like East gonna deliver for sure.

Btw Hammaker turns 26 this year, gotta make it happen soon if he wants a proper 450 career.

It's still possible.  Pastrana won the 125 east at 190, beating yot four strokes.

Are you going to explain why you questioned if Davies is going to race, or was that just another Moneyism?

Ok, what about Travis Preston. He won a title on the slowest 125.

It’s not a matter of if, but when will the PC curse strike? Last year it waited till the last round. I’m guessing earlier this time

He’s a very very very talented young man. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he won a race this year.

Yeah, but had some serious mods to the engine for the 2002 championship to get it fast.  Cylinder spacer, carb, airbox mods. Love this stuff.

Haven’t thought about two stroke cylinder spacers for such a long time 😳

Looking forward to seeing what Guilod can do indoors, I'm hoping he at least qualifies for the mains and stays safe doing it.

what have a missed that gives most the belief Thrasher is a lock?


I see Davies vs Seth battles shaping up to be a season similar to Jett vs Colt.

He does the same thing every year and hasn’t given anyone reason to believe he’s going to change. I like him and want success for him, but he needs to be consistent.
