How will the new 3 race affect the races and riders?
Are the timed practice filling the gates with the main events? I saw there is something like a race for the LCQ but done before the night show?
Shorter races will force the racers to be a LOT more aggressive so how will the AMA/Feld/FIM react to riders mashing the crap out of each other?
IMO Bam Bam could get things done if he rides like the normal Bam Bam!!!

I went to the MEC in 2016 for the format. Spouse didn’t mind it was in Vegas. Fun trip.
I think it is apples and oranges though with championship points on the line, this isn’t an exhibition race.
The start will be the top 3 keys to the race in the 1st main, top two in the second main, and tops in the 3rd.
I’ll bet there are gonna be a lot of racers who just dreamed of podiums before launching the first main with a rear sprocket the size of a pizza, 4th gear start.
It’s gonna be either very exciting and a hit, or a cluster with triage. Hope the former.

The points still pay the same correct? Except its overall rather than single winner. I think it'll be very interesting and shake up the championship.I'm a fan of the changes this year, but I'm glad they didnt add a joker lane in.

I agree, I think its going to be a hit though, as long as they stick to doing it this way for a only a few races a year. Now they just need to follow my other advise and do about 2 double headers since they want to add more sx races. Could add 2 races and the season would be the same length and it wouldn't cut into outdoors.
