What is changing in sx? (Speculation thread)

250 class pointing out change.

Mesh starting pads.

I hope they actually make some real changes. 3 mains, heat race and qualifying points, etc

you might be onto something there....

“Playoff” system much like NASCAR.
I actually hope this isn’t the change but it wouldn’t surprise me.

While we're wishcasting, 250 v 250. Drop the displacement advantage.

Monster girls will now be topless.

It seems like they dropped the 'chase' format in AX so I doubt they'd implement it in SX...

Now that Dungey is out we don’t need a change. No one will be as consistent as him so hopefully points will be much closer with the top guys.

Did they? I hadn't seen that. That's fantastic news if they did.

That would be a great change

I really hope so. Outdoors is a legacy, supercross was invented to be a spectacle.

If they do a playoff, I know for sure I won't watch that many races. So many times on Saturday nights I don't do anything because I don't miss SX. If they go to a chase format, I'll only be watching if there's nothing else to do.

This is all i want.

I don't what the big push is for change. They made the big one last year going to timed races. And it made for some damn good racing. I like the story that develops through the heats semis and lcqs. And lcqs we know are where the bedtime racing is.

If it aint broke don't fix it. IMHO.

It’ll be rebranded NasCross with the following changes:

1. Stage Racing in the mains, 6 laps, 6 laps, 8 laps - grid starts for stage 2 and 3.

2. A chase for final 5 rounds. Top 20 qualify and therefore automatically qualify for final 5 mains. Championship leader gets 25 points and same point system as usual down to 20th.

3. 21st - 40thgo to the B chase and Race B mains.

4. 250 class, 6 rounds west, 6 rounds east. Final 5 rounds are easy/west and decide National 250 sx champ. 1-10 on each coast qualify. 11-20 go to 250 B championship.

5. There’s an U19 development class called the RC road to supercross.

I think the semis are nixed entirely again right? We're back to a heat and an LCQ even in the 450s.

Maximum of 250cc

Riders Union - Union delegate to voice rider safety concerns about tracks and Monster girls with too much clothes on.

Vital MX will be out of business.

You, Sir, are a goddam visionary.

I remember hearing something about more east/west races throughout the year, as well as possibly a different points structure.

Dungey won by 5 points this year... doesn't get much closer.

Do you reckon feld pays all these riders to post to Instagram? The riders' social media accounts are their value to a large extent. It would be a dick move on Feld's part to tap into that publicity without paying for it.
