I know it's offseason for Supercross but I have a dream...
Supercross Live TV Schedule 2017 for each round to go as
250 Main Event 1 - 15 Laps
450 Main Event 1 - 20 Laps
250 Main Event 2 - 15 Laps
450 Main Event 2 - 20 Laps
I don't need to see heat races, I don't need to see Semis or LCQ's.
Each class gets 3 practices and fastest times qualify you for the Main's.
Chase format is balls.
What are your thoughts? Or how would you change the current format?

Therefore, I choose to ACCEPT your revised format proposal.
Although I'm not sure the riders would like doing two main events at those lengths.

On the Chase concept I'm game for new things. Let's see how it goes the first year. Personally I'd rather not talk about things we have no control over (it is August whatever they've decided on the Chase is a done deal) I'd rather talk about how we can drag a friend who has never been before to a race or how we can get the people we know who have bikes but aren't riding or racing back out there.
The best place to get new business is from existing customers and these semi retired riders are existing customers.
Also maybe it is the person reading this now that is semi retired that just needs a little push to get back out there to be reminded why we go through so much BS, grief, pain etc.
We do it because there is no better exercise or stress relief than twisting that throttle. What are you waiting for? Break the ice and let us know how it went.
Running 1 class only in elimination format will get rid of the boredom and slow guys and give different winners.
Like This:
80 riders start the night show (I don't care what they ride or who they are)
4 quarterfinals of 20 riders with 10 advancing to the next round. Everyone else go home or get a seat in the stands
2 semifinals of 20 riders with 10 advancing
1 main event.
Boom, drop the mic!
Less dirt bikes are sold every year. Tracks are closing. SX races like Houston are dropped after decades due to empty seats. You can't watch it on TV without cable. That is not success.
SX is about entertainment, and always was; that's why they put it in a stadium. It started with Flat track in the Astrodome, and where is that these days?
We aren't alone. Nike announced today that they won't make Golf equipment any more since Millennial's aren't taking up the sport.
Don't change, and see what you get. Left behind.
The desire for them to have a sponsorship doesn't mean fans should be subjected to watching sub par racing. I want to see the best of the best in the show. We are expecting to see the big league not college players.

Which one of the following wouldn't matter? None.
80 riders start
4 quarterfinals of 20 riders with 10 advancing
2 semifinals of 20 riders with 10 advancing
1 main event.
Imo the chase may make the last few rounds a little more intense but it sure is going to make the first 3 quarters of the season less interesting which imo sucks
Points on a smaller scale -YES
Points throughout the night -WHATEVER, I am hoping for some points confusion and that might do it. (We don't want guys laying up saving energy for the main)
Chase- OK with it if they only increase (double?) the points for the last few races, not erase the series totals.
Tweet some changes
Look no further than last years east coast series as to why the chase is a bad idea
It is always hard to come through the ranks. Always has been. Hasn't stopped any Champion from getting it done.
