Right now it looks like ET is the FMOTP. Wonder how he would compare to JS in his prime?
Seeing that many of the MX tracks are the same and have the same/similar layouts over the years, is it reasonably possible to compare ET's lap times vs JS and/or RC at Washougal or any or the other tracks?
Obviously things can't be compared 100% year to year, but do any obvious patterns emerge with respect to lap times?

Understand, however if JB was 10 seconds a lap faster for example on the same track, that would be saying something, no?

The rest of your post, no to basically everything. You can't compare lap times. Different track conditions, different bikes (better), different competition, different ruts, different jumps, different corners, different starts. Literally everything is different about the track and bike. It is literally impossible to figure out whether RC, JS or ET is faster at three different times.
The only thing that's not impossible is guaging their careers. RC is obviously the best choice career wise.

As far as Villopoto, we unfortunately only saw them compete against each other in 13 due to injuries and Stewart going SX only. In that season, Villopoto waxed everyone and I think only lost a couple motos to Stewart all year.
Now if we are talking about SX, yeah Stewart had the speed there on Carmichael. Just not the mental toughness to win a championship. As for Villopoto, Stewart would occasionally be faster, but Villopoto was always far and away the better championship contender and often was putting up the faster laptimes too.
So in conclusion, your statement really only applies to Carmichael in SX.

Anyone who watched every MOTOCROSS race from 2005-2007 knows RC was flat out faster than Stewart.
