3/23/2024 3:54pm Interesting point. Some were live some weren't. But I thought the races were always called in live time. Could be wrong

3/23/2024 3:53pm I'm curious about Jett too. McGrath made the point that once you have so many millions in the bank, risking injury for the sake of ego becomes unappealing

3/23/2024 3:30pm Gotta be careful. Talking about Lord Voldemort on this site. But that begs the question, where is daniel blair? Disappear out of thin air? Did he take an accounting job ? 🧐🤣

3/23/2024 3:19pm Supposedly Carmichael had him shit canned for being a threat to him. Just the rumor cooksey spread.

3/23/2024 3:18pm What age did cairoli retire? 36? I want to say reed made it to 36-38 but hadn't been "competitive" four at least 4 seasons. Since these two are some of our only real examples of "max age" in mx, what do you reckon that is? Seems to be 31-33. Came a long way from a decade or two ago when...

3/23/2024 2:53pm Interesting. Watched him battle Gajser pretty hard in trentino and win some other races pretty late career. Was he dominant? No. Championship contender? Sort of yes

Justin Brayton is excellent, he should replace RC.

3/23/2024 2:18pm Its actually sad what's going on with some of these privateers. I'm thinking about the Bobby Piazza situation and others of his caliber. Begging and borrowing and doing weird schemes to get to the track. The whole SX "dream" pretty much did these guys a disservice by taking them away from finding a real job or education. No one cares...

3/23/2024 2:15pm Why does it have to be a former racer? Some former racers like RV, reed, brayton happen to be quite good (not full professional announcer level). Stew is good enough. RC is a complete embarrassment of an announcer. The best announcer i can remember was at glen helen early 2000's (the round RC and stew squared up). He sounded like...

3/23/2024 2:03pm production has become an outright embarrassment. If you have some free time, go on youtube and watch an old race from the early 2000's like 2001-2003. My God the announcers were so talented and the production was surprisingly high quality compared to today.

And during the race the first time they cut to Screech she'll say "I spoke with team manager so and so blah blah blah" during lap 3 or so. Horrible production on a consistent basis. Finally pulled the plug.

3/23/2024 2:01pm Especially those of us watching from a phone or smaller screen. I think an interview or otherwise is more appropriate before or after the practice/race than during it.

3/23/2024 1:30pm Something funky is going on. They just can't possibly be oblivious to just how bad of an english speaker / personality / announcer that RC is

Yeh it’s quite ridiculous, RV is more recently retired from racing, was just as good if not a better SX racer than RC, and actually knows how to speak proper English. Maybe RC dates one of the higher ups at NBC and that’s how he’s been able to keep the gig. It’s undeniable that he sucks at his job.

3/23/2024 1:28pm Hot take: who cares that they have to pay an entry fee? You have a lot of guys out there on the SX track that have absolutely no business being out there.

Having to pay to ride, even though they are the stars of the show. Not being able to vote for track changes. Not being able to sell merch in the pits.
