Where would 2005 Stewart on his KX250 finish at 2026 A1? It’s easy to forget how insane fast he was…. 🤯 https://www.facebook.com/reel/1391822353118301/?fs=e&mibextid=wwXIfr&fs=e

Who knows where he would finish but probably almost for sure last off the start racing 450s with start maps on grates.

Amazing he still doesn't ride for fun... the sport took a lot out of him... hopefully he learns to enjoy riding again at some point down the road...

Off topic, his first race at A1 was one of the most hyped races in my lifetime. If I remember correctly, it was a mudder. We also had to watch Sunday morning replay. 

On topic, he’d do well but that KX wouldn’t keep up. If everyone had to race on a 125, James would  win hands down.

I'd think the better question would be..

Transplant any rider, and I do mean any from right now to 05, stick them on the 250 of their current team,  would they win.  I don't think so.  I'd still pick James for sheer speed.

He mentioned awhile back that he does ride, I remember Weege clarifying it after James said something to that effect

McGrath, Reed,Carmichael, Stewart, Pastrana 

They we're calling it "The Perfect Storm" months before the actual storm even rolled in.

and Windham won it!

He said he rides with his kids but cant even do a small double. This was a while ago.

I distinctly remember him saying, "I can turn some laps," when asked how he would fare today.

I would assume JS7's racing career was primarily to generate income and $$ for him and his Family.  

Post racing career, doubt he would have fun riding on a track.  Prob over it.  Prob have more fun and enjoyment on the golf course.

I think you missed some sarcasm when he said that.

What if they never went to 4 strokes and James got to stay on the 250 stroke. He would have been dominate.

As a kid this was the first ever footage of stewart in supercross that i had seen. He was crazy fast and then crashed his brains out, after that I watched every supercross race
