I would say Anaheim 1 all race together but I think that screws any injured riders looking to race East for extra time to heal, so maybe all racers race the first East Coast race together, midway threw East sx have another round with then all together n then Vegas as usual. Maybe make a 3rd title for the best rider for those combined races. Oh and more money, we all want more money. Especially since the owner of feld is a trillionaire!
More money is a biggie, and I agree. As a fan, I feel those that make the highest echelon should get paid more. As it was pointed out on the Pulpmx show, MX is a very tough place right now money wise. It hurts that so much riding area has been lost, so that means fewer new riders, ie, fewer new fans to the sport.
I like Jeff's take on combined races, how about the first combined race being one of the last West races and the first East race then, of course, having the final EAST and WEST race happen together is the best way to do it. There was one season where there were three 250 races in Vegas, the East final, West final and then the East/West shootout and that was pretty bad. The two champions did not care about the shootout and if I recall I think one even skipped it.
