I did the best I could with the amount of work I put in. Could have I done better or work harder? Possibly but I didn't. I ended up winning as many SX races as O'Mara and Emig did in the premier class. It would be great if I got a fraction of the respect you give those guys though, not asking for the same respect but at least a fraction... And for the record, I wouldn't have raced 129 SX mains in the premier class if I only raced when I had a shot at a championship. If I...

I just don't see the Hunter hype. Craig handled him easily last year in sx. Zero wins in 2022 mx. Did good in SX this year against a weak field. I do not see him ever being on his brother's level going forward.

Jett vs. Hunter on 450s is going to be entertaining.

I know the Lawrences are a package deal, so it likely won't happen, but if I'm HRC, I would seriously be thinking about keeping Chase over Hunter. There's only a one year age difference between the two, and Chase has the more proven upside on a 450. I'm not saying Hunter can't/won't turn out to be an absolute savage on a 450, but based off of this year and last year, Chase has the advantage in my opinion.

More like "Champion by default".

Just be glad you got to watch one of the greats of the sport in their prime with your own eyes. I didnt get to watch the 70’s or 80’s legends, but I got to watch mcgrath through the 90s then to carmichael, stew, and reed, then into dungey and rv, then now to tomac. I feel extremely greatful for having watched these guys race in person and on tv. Tomac is right up there with the greatest legends of the sport and we got to watch a legend in his prime.

While I agree that this really really blows and I almost turned it off too, I hope you're crying because you stubbed your toe when you jumped off the couch or something... Eli can (and may very well be) be done for good, by choice, and he's set for life. He will always be a great in the sport, and finally get to relax if that's the route he takes. He's an animal who has made more money than a dozen of us put together. He'll be ok and he's lucky it wasn't something worse.. Or he comes back and...

....and here we have a perfect case of WDS....Webb Derangement Syndrome. Denial is a bitch.

I don't need to go as hard as you but I agree. He's almost 24 racing regional sx. He should dominate. Come back to me if he dominates outdoors. I don't see it though with Cooper and Jo out there

Hunter gets rated higher simply by being Jett’s brother, so underrated? No. 5 year OLDER brother by the way.

He’s overrated. Who is he “dominating” over? A one-kneed Thrasher the cartwheel specialist Smith. 17 year olds. J mart who’s just cruising through. semi-retired Blose. Savage Jesus. And don’t forget his biggest title threat, 30 year old Max Anstie, who was about a 15th place guy in 450 SX. But yeh woooooow can you believe how good he looks?!?!? Let’s get Jett in the booth again next week so we can hear about golf and how bad the other riders techniques are compared to the SPECTACULAR Hunter Lawrence….OMFG can you believe how he just passed former MXoN winner max anstie...

What a weird thread. Starts with hell yea tomac and ends with his career is over and he’s only riding for money. Dudes the points leader and won 4 of 7 races. What planet are you guys on

I appreciate the convos being had, at the end of the day despite anyone’s opinions here the facts remain that Eli will go down as one of the all time SX greats. I’m just happy to bare witness to it🤙🏽

It costs money to make money. Privateers have the same opportunity to team up with Feld but most don't sling enough product for it to be to be worth the investment. I can't go to the local mall and set up my own kiosk for free and sell stuff. It's not a matter of fairness as any one of these guys could do the same. Not that I agree with the rules Feld has in place but nobody is receiving special treatment in this scenario.

You over looked the most important aspect of a clean crisp running bike, jetting. You don’t have to do any of that other stuff you mentioned, like literally none of it.

You’re welcome, Im glad to hear that it is working out for you. Thanks for the feedback.
