Back in the day, in the early to mid '70's, SX used the motocross format to determine the winner. Sometimes it was 4 moto's instead of 3. Not sure if any of those riders ever won a SX without winning a "moto".

Now here we are 40 years later and we could possibly, but not likely, have a SX winner with out them winning a "Main".

With the good starts that Barcia has had so far, he is in a good position to take advantage of the format this weekend at Anaheim.

in a multi main event format, just like motocross, yes you can easily have someone not take 1st in a moto and win the overall. it happens all the time in outdoors.

not that unfathomable

There may have been in 85 also when they had a 2 moto format .The vault has the overall winners from that season and not the moto winners though.

Curious how points were awarded per moto/main in 1985's SX 2-moto format. From the results in AMA's magazine back then...

Hmm . I didnt think the final points looked much different from other seasons with a similar number of rounds that year but maybe Im mistaken .

Wow,

Some of you missed the question. (Not atk).

It wasn't about a title, it was about an EVENT winner.

Atk pilot is correct. In 85 supercross ran a 2 ten lap main event format.

If memory serves correctly, mark barnett won atlanta with a pair of seconds on a kawasaki.

I also think that was his last supercross win.

There may have been others that took wins the same way that year. I just remember that one specifically because it was barnett and I was there.
