Should be cc for cc. It’s 2026 we know a 250 is a 250.

The race is supposed to showcase the best up and coming racers, not a festival for participation trophies. I'm sorry, but if Dark can race it and be 45 seconds a lap slower than 85 riders, we're already pushing the boundaries of what the race is intended for IMO.

This right here is why I’m willing to blow all my money traveling with my kid racing. My dad took me around racing when I was a kid, and those were the best times I had growing up. I remember when my parents split when I was 12, all I cared was about racing and making sure I’d stay with my dad. Hope when my kid is older he will look back on it like I did, and like your kid did!

American born motocrossers are embarrassing. Our amateur program sucks due to all these mid kids growing up at training facilities with not as much natural talent and zero race craft.

Regardless, how is it acceptable for people that didn't make it through the area qualifier to pay money and line up for an event that is supposed to be qualified for? Rain has no effect on that. That's the point, there wouldn't be multiple divisions of a class that only 40 kids should be qualified for if some entity wasn't money hungry and trying to siphon every dollar they can out of these events. All amateur motocross is suffering because of these things. Too many classes, too many participation trophies, and too many sandbaggers. All in the name of the...

Lost in all of this is the Regional is SUPPOSED to be 3 15 minute motos of riders that made it through the area qualifiers. Somehow (money) it has ended up with the Area qualifiers meaning basically nothing and turned into a free for all entry system for the Regionals that eliminates 15 minute motos for a bunch of qualifiers/LCQ/ and in this weekend's case a final 2nd moto. It's simply turned into a starting contest in this format. And THAT'S how we get a field for the National Championship? That's also how we end up getting our teeth kicked...

I think it is weird that Degan wouldnt go. If that is a Yamaha thing then get it - but a bummer. But if Degan went and just raced his heart out without a win, he would gain fans. And if he won - it would be nuts how big his fan base would be. and the team should be 450 Degan, 450 J-Coop and 250 Kitchen. Go USA!!

I didn’t see Jett bunch’em up…not at all. But, I sure as hell saw Russell do it in Monaco, today!

I guess no perfect 22-0 rookie season?

I'd say the thing that will cost him titles will be Jett. Hes not as good as him and he never will be. But, no, it wont help that the entire field doesn't much like you or your bullshit
