Is that we DEMAND, oops, request - that RACING qualifiers be returned rightfully to National Motocross..

No more with the stop-watch, PLEASE ? Enough already. Let's bring back ^&%$#@(*&^ RACING !!!

It's SEXY, dammit.

* I've noted over the last couple years that many topics have come up here, already well addressed in the INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED MOTOCROSS STUDIES' famous 5 YEAR PLAN. ALL the answers are in there, it's totally taboo, but - If you have not yet flipped through it, please do. Cheers. There'll be a short quiz next week, so take notes.

I disagree that we can all agree.

That said, qualifiers would be awesome... what is the issue with that anyway?

agreed......qualifiers would be sweet.

How would you qualify for the qualifiers? More qualifiers? Where will it end? Unsure

I agree with Outsider in that he disagrees about people agreeing agreement would be agreed upon, leading to disagreement.

I agree with Rupert though. More racing!

1. Timed qualifiers produce ONE LINE tracks.

2. The FANS are ripped-off of racing action and should get five bucks back for that and another five bucks for

having to sit through the women's races.

3. If we are going to feature timed races at our pro events, let's do it at Loretta's too. Get the kids ready for the nuttiness !

4. 98.6 % of the PRIVATEERS and 102 % of the fans desire RACING - not four hours of riders simply riding around.

5. Motocross has never been about riding against the clock, it's been about RACING.

I thought motocross was now about tv deals, energy drink sponsors, snazzy clothes & an excuse to stare at women on the border of working at the local adult emporium?

Hello Rupe'Dog-a-licious! Good to see you around again bud. Hope all is well with you and the fam. Cool

Did you happen to watch Bercy? I really enjoyed the "Super Pole" racing. It would not work for outdoor MX, but would be way rad indoors for SX.

Outdoor, qualifying races, you got my vote. Make it happen.

Timed qualifying is the single biggest crime committed against the sport of motocross.

*Well , biggest since the first dude with his checkbook went to the repair department with their imploded 450F.

If I wasn't so *^&$$%&%$@# BUSY occupying the tea-party headquarters in various former Arab heads of states'

exotic animal shelters, I'd protest my damn self.

hard not agree with that. the A group get the smooth track and the better bikes. privateers have a pretty slim chance with the current system

I'd rather watch the qualifying races than the Womens class.

Simple solution....

Can the womens class and bring back the qualifying races!
