Show highlights of the 2 LCQ races between races instead of 100 commercials

Put in 2 Amateur all star races in between the mains, based on who shows up and pick the riders based on lap times, maybe 15 or so riders.

All the 250 mains should be 12 mins, all the 450s should be 15.

This, imo, would make this format actually pretty good.

P.s. how bout doing a rider segment on a rider who can have a future in the sport like an up and coming privateer, and not choose a rider based on their sex. But just to put this out there, in today's world, there are guys who wear makeup.

Make it two hours.

No idea the relevance of your last paragraph or last sentence.

the only aspect i enjoy about the 3 mains. is its just like the 2 moto format in outdoors. every race "counts"

but as far as a night show having races.....meh



last year you had 4 heats, 2 semis 2 lcqs and 2 mains. it was over 2 physical hours of race time.

taking out the two semis cuts out about ~15 min and the three moto format is roughly an hour.

thats half the show



either add another class to fill time or longer motos. or a keep the current qualifiers but a 2 moto main

I like the fact that you have more than just one race to determine your outcome (like outdoors) but the races were so short that it came down to starts for who was going to be in the top 3 for each race. If you had a first turn mishap there wasn't a lot of time to get back inside the top 5.

How do you fix it, get rid of it and go back to a single main event. This is a big thumbs down ? from everyone at my place tonight. If. We wanted to watch dash for cash we would watch it in AX not SX.

And 250 main event should be the same length/distance as 450 main event.

It's like old school moto....Three motos, average the results. Seems to work, whether you call them Mains or Motos.

I think optimal format is 2 races just like outdoors.

So 2x 15+1 with qualification using heat races as usual. Do qualification heat 5min+2 laps. Take top 10 from time qualification earlier in the day.

Nothing wrong with the format, but 3 rounds is enough. They're doing almost double the minutes of a normal 20 minute main. Double the points payout too.

People do not realize or forget that there are things that have to be done between the races, They cannot constantly have racing on the SX track (ie amateur sx). I do believe that they can show races that happened during the day, pre-recorded so straight to the race, such as the LCQ's. The amateur stuff has a modified track, so that will not happen until Sunday either way.

The racing was fantastic, people are upset about all the down time in between. Ad's pay a big part of the bill, so you can't get rid of them, but things can be done to make it easier on the viewers.

Man, some of you guys would bitch if someone gave you $100 as a $100 bill instead of five $20’s.

It did not come down to just he start.

Let's be honest, in a normal 20 minute main, it's basically follow the leader the final 5 minutes. Most of the field is just "riding" and stopped racing 10 minutes in.

The triple moto format is better. It wasnt executed properly due to the LONG commercial breaks. Just that simple.

I would make each moto 2-4 laps longer. Maybe could yield less commercials and/or fill in? Still would only be a fraction of the race time as outdoors.
