250's in Vegas ?

It will be the same format as recent years with the West and East Heat Races however what were the Heats are now Points Paying Main Events, there will then be the East/West Shootout. Hope this helped.

No, he is saying there is 2 different mains east west then after they are done top 10 from each coast races the east west shootout

Yeah

It will be like SX racing from a couple years back when you actually got your moneys worth.

Vegas is going to be sick!! i am lovin the SX this year, to see the end of season mains held AND the east west shootout in one event is just going to be so cool!

What about the last chance qualifier?

Damn…I had it all wrong. I thought they were going to take the top 20 from each coast, run separate qualifiers, race the main with the top riders from the two coasts competing against each other, then let the points fall where they finish in the main and carry over to their respective coast points…

For example (in no particular order):

Tickle 1st 25 pts
Hansen 2nd 22 pts
Sipes 3rd 20 pts
Seely 4th 18 pts
Wharton 5th 16 pts
Tomac 6th 15 pts
Barcia 7th 14 pts
Wilson 8th 13 pts
Baggett 9th 12 pts

And so on….

then figure out the champions from there

and the prize fund of $$$$xxxxx thousand ???

of course it would be worth it to him, some clarity on the format would be great.

"This year the two Lites classes will each compete in their own 15 lap main event with championship points being awarded to their respective region."

"Once both champions have been awarded their hardware, the top nine finishers from each region's main event will transfer to the shootout. A last chance qualifier will send two final riders to the much anticipated Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Shootout."

that's how its going to be - NICE!

I think the below answers your question jmclennan41

Mitch Payton says: "The old format was a no-pressure situation that was enjoyable because it gave an opportunity for both champions to race against each other. Now that it is for points, the pressure will be higher to try and win a championship for both coasts on the same day."

"Whatever happens in the championship races, whether good or bad, the emotions will be present in the shootout race and it will definitely make things interesting."

Vegas must have a huge pit!

The way I understand it there will be 3 seperate championships decided at Vegas. 450's + East & West coast 250F's will have their own races....heats LCQ and finals then top 10 in points from East & West will be in the DC challenge.

Will be like the old days with a ton of racing!
