I hate that they still do this. And I get they want to give more privateers a shot.
But SX isn't big enough and there isn't enough talent to be able to split up a class of riders. This would be like Nascar splitting the Infinity series into east and west.
It would be so much more exciting if all the top 250 guys raced every weekend. Now, you have to wait to see some of the fastest guys until the series moves east.

And yet they do it every year with success...
Now, if they would tighten the production rules and establish a salary cap for the 250 class- that would be some good racing!
If they merged them and it was a run away it wouldn't be as good

Add a 125 class at select rounds and you have perfection.
or give a real privateer a chance.
Possible, give incentives to the now larger 250 teams to get into the main game.
I'm in the minority here. But I'm just a firm believer you put the best out there for every event. Or at a minimum, have a few east/west events during the season
But I do see your points on this.
It's about the current pro 250 riders who would lose their rides and become privateers. Let alone their mechanics, team personnel, support staff, gear guys etc...
You're essentially saying lets make 22 less racing opportunities. That's crazy in a sport where there are already guys looking for rides.
I'll betcha that Mitch is of the same opinion, too.

It's good as is and isn't changing.
When SX goes global , there will be some changes to the 250 class structure . East/West/local guys? That isnt going to work , so if it is global , it will have to be a single 250 series .
I think the days are numbered for privateers in SX anyway , so I am in favor of a single 450 series and a single 250 series .
I still think a complete 250 series would be best .
Yet another unintended consequence of the ridiculous "Double Displacement Rule” kept in place in Pro Racing by MX Sports.
We’re making rules, and trying to fix things that were all brought on by the ill-thought “Double Displacement Rule”. Heck, isn’t there now an age rule for riding the 250F, which is the next step for 80cc riders. 125cc bikes NEED to be in this sport and the 250cc two-stroke platform is the best ever devised !!!!
Barry_Smith…………… They have a 125 Class, they just let 250cc four-strokes race in it.
