I wonder who currently holds that record.
Maybe that's the one ET is going for.
Could it be that when he retires, he will have racked up over 100 individual supercross wins without a single championship?
He's got a pretty solid start.

Jeff Stanton has (3) SX championships with less (17) wins than Bradshaw or KDub (and now Tomac).
100 wins for Eli without a championship? Nah. The window's closing as they say though.

MC the King of Supercross has 72 wins I believe. To achieve 100 wins he would have to average 10 wins / yr. over a 10 yr. span. Those #'s don't seem realistic since the game has changed with the new track designs due to the thumpers. It's not easy for these guys to stay healthy for a long period of time on the bikes in modern SX racing.
On a serious note I believe ET3 will capture a 450 SX championship title or 2 before he decides to hang up his boots & helmet.

Eli getting 100 SX wins is also not realistic.
BTW I’m 58...been outta the basement for awhile now
Eli will NOT win out in this series.
Eli will NOT ( EVER ) win 100 SX races.
Can't believe you all can't wrap your head around this fact.
And to all the other fools looking for a change in points to make Eli a contender how come we can't go the other way? Once you're more than say 30 points down you only get half the allotted points since you are now simply in the way and screwing up the championship race.
Sound fucking stupid? Because it is. Just like trying to rig the game for your favorite rider because you feel bad. Everyone knows what it takes to win the championship and they're all even at A1.
But it wouldn’t surprise me to see him win out due to the fact there is no pressure, which seems to be when he thrives
Examples: RV with an exhaust packed full of dirt = DNF. Dungey "ran out of gas" or broke a chain = DNF. etc.
Even when those guys hit the deck, somehow they always got back up and pushed VERY hard to get back into the points against all odds.
Tomac did that at Daytona last week. That was an impressive ride!
Often when he has trouble, he pulls it into the pits and calls it a night.
Is it luck, Is Eli injured severely?
Were those other guys better at landing on their feet, or more durable when things go wrong?
Does Eli just decide he can't perform at his best with shoulder-pain or other pain and give up for the night?
I'm not suggesting answers. I'm asking the questions I think when I watch this guy each season.
That's too often to win the title in my opinion.
Pit Row
I could live with that even if I never got the championship!
I guess that if he wins on Saturday, he will have the title.
