This stat is sorta mind blowing because of the sheer talent both riders have but can you believe that between Adam and Austin they would have only one combined title.
If I told you eight years ago that stat you would have told me BS!! I seriously might have bet my house they would have had more combined titles.
But that’s it. Just one title. So much talent. That’s just crazy to think about.
Anyone else have any crazy, interesting, or otherwise noteable trivia?

When you think that PC has 8 shots a year at winning a championship, it makes their drought seem worse.
And to think.. if Osborne and Savatgy had both gone down, in Vegas, AC would have had it... and if Osborne had missed, Savatgy would have had it.. for 10 seconds they had it lost it, had it again, and lost it again... that is why we race.

Going back eight years he was definitely very well known and was the next sure thing for PC Kawasaki.
Time flies I guess....
But to your point about Adam, I agree with you, I would have bet he would have more then one title. It’s crazy enough to think he only has one. And then factor in Austin who has the speed and talent as well, and between those two only one single title.
I think in the last 10 years I don’t know if any one has come up the ranks with as much “can’t miss” speed and talent as Adam and Austin.
That’s sorta what makes this stat unreal because they both have amazing talent and speed. It wasn’t just hype. They have the speed and pedigree. Just a crazy series of mistakes and mishaps have cost them both.
One title between the two of them. I would have been less surprised if between the two they had 10 titles.
But nope. Just one title. That’s crazy!
Only person to beat RC in a full SX season was Canard also 125 east??
McGrath: November 19, 1971
Bradshaw: July 19, 1972
Watched Nate Thrasher over the summer literally destroy the competition at a couple races. Now to see him struggling in the back is amazing to me. Just shows how fast the competition is today.
Probably the fastest guy to not win Championships is Kevin Windham. He was always racing the likes of McGrath, Charmichael, Stewart, RV and RD. Fastest 2nd place guy ever.
You raced Hare Scrambles (GNCC), TT, Flat Track and MX
If I remember right....Thursday was hare scrambles, on Friday you LITERALLY packed up for the day and drove to Ocala, FL where you raced TT during the day, flat track that night.
MX was Saturday and part of Sunday, then awards.
You rode the same bike for all events in that class. Frame numbers were registered as was engine #'s. Paint would be sprayed over head and cylinder to make sure no changes.
Before that, Mini O's started in Jacksonville, but that was short lived.
RC won both the first SX title on a four stroke and the last SX title on a two stroke
Chad won at least 1 450 race a year from 2003-2013
Pit Row
Tim Ferry beat Ricky Carmichael to the 1997 125 East supercross championship. He is the only rider in history to win a supercross championship without winning a race in the season.
The next year, Ricky Carmichael won the 1998 125 East championship. He is the only rider to win every race in a supercross championship in history.
