I think we need 5 classes. 450 17 rounds. 250 10 rounds each. Women’s and privateer class each get 6 rounds. Smx next 5 rounds
4 guys in the night show were 15 seconds A LAP slower than the leaders on a 50 second lap track. Think about that.
Agreed. The 'divisions' have run their course.

I've said the same for years. The 250 regional classes are a bad product more often than not because of the split.
The 250 class this season has got to be the most boring one in recent years. The two biggest rivals are in separate coasts (Deegan, Davies). Two other potential equals to Deegan and Davies are injured or came in injured (Beaumer, Shimoda). PC riders once again constantly shitting the bed (Kitchen, Hammaker) or once again picking up injury (McAdoo). Anstie wins A1 then suddenly forgets how to ride.
One coast over 25 years of age, one coast under 25 years of age
Yep Deegs racking up wins in the most inconsistent fields I can remember.
I may be wrong but Deegs was the only champion in the fields??
How about just one class, everyone on 250s two or four stroke, and have an A main and B main.
Every form auto racing has several different classes but for some reason yall want to shrink the classes down… that’s dumb
Great idea lets go to one 250 class and eliminate half the rides in the 250’s not to mention all the jobs of the mechanics associated with those teams…
Is the purpose of racing to create jobs? That’s a new one.
Half the guys in the 250 class don’t have “rides”, they are paying their own way to be at the races.
So you actually believe that 250 teams will continue with 4+ riders if there aren’t two coasts? For what purpose? I’m talking about the riders that are consistently in the night program not the guys that never qualify from the C group….
250 national SX class and a 250 SX support class.
Man i hate this argument. Why don't you then argue for splitting the 450 class too if creating the as many job opportunities as possible is this important?
It's a professional sport (or at least tries to be one), the riders and personnel that might be left out will have to race WSX, AX, locally or just forced to get a real job.

If they eliminate the coasts it will not increase the competition as you all believe…if there are fewer factory rides and fewer b team rides you will force the others to do as you have said which doesn’t give you want in SX as the 250’s won’t have the talent they have now. It will dilute the talent more than two coasts because of lack of rides…

One thing no one has mentioned is that if it was a National class, some riders in the 450s , would leave the 450s and have a go in the 250, probably some in the back half of the field. Is that a good thing…. I don’t know, but it may fix the lapper issue many are complaining about recently.
Interesting point to discuss. Genuine question, in your opinion, what would be a team, a rider or two that would suffer if the classes were unified this year?
S L O P
Do you believe that Star would keep 8 riders, or Kaw 4, Club 4? How many will the KTM Group field, How about Phoenix Honda, Partzilla Kaw? I would guarantee that if you combine the coasts you would lose at a minimum of a dozen top tier rides because they would cut back the number of rides available because they don’t need the representation. With the min age going to 18 you would find that the level of comp for 17 races would not be any better than what it is now in each coast….and then everyone would bitch about how boring the 250’s are for 17 rounds without showdowns….
If creating jobs for more mechanics is the concern, why don’t we have East & West coast 450s?
You pair of weirdos..
It’s not about the jobs dipshit…Ok….have a day…
Do they cut riders when they go outdoors?
Are you saying that by combining the regional SX series into a national one that a random half of the talent will disappear? It won’t. The bottom half of the talent pool will drop off and you’ll have ALL the top 250 guys competing each week.
If the 250 teams are worried about costs then just have less rounds, say 10-12 instead of 17.
You did just say it was about the jobs…
Now this is actually logic I can get behind. I'm not for combining the coasts but I like this. Riders who were never meant to be 450 riders could just be career 250 guys.
