So if you score enough points you have to run the two didget number they assign you? That's pretty stupid, why can't you just run what you want, even a three didgit.

I believe they used FIM licenses, similar to some of the Frenchman who have came over and did good, but didn't earn a number. (Fabien Izoird, Gregory Aranda, and others)


How about Pourcel having to run 30! That's an excuse to not show up.

Hmm, Michael Byrne didn't score the necessary 25 points. I'm very surprised to see that they're going to let him keep his career number.

This is what I originally typed.
I left Telliett off my list because I am thinking he rode with a FIM license



And you are right it will give Pourcel a excuse not to race next season.

Here's a question...........I know almost everyone in the top 20 has earned their career numbers.....but how in the heck did guys like Justin Brayton #10 and Kyle Chisholm #11 get to keep those numbers? Neither one has won a championship. And Justin won a national a few years ago.......but what the heck? What I'm asking is......how did they get a " career number " in the first place?

You really need to stop drinking or what ever it is you are doing Jeffro sometimes..

If a rider finishes in the top 10 overall in a season ( as in a year of racing) they earn a career # that stays with them for the rest of there career as a Pro.

Brayton and Chisholm earned there #'s a few years ago and they get to keep those #'s

Brayton and Chisholm both earned there #'s racing in 2010.

So now which ever 250 rider takes the MX championship next summer will be career #8 I guess. Odds are it will be AC..... But maybe he'll take his 92 like his buddy KR94.

Exactly, no reason for this idiotic game of musical numbers. It's a lot easier to identify a rider in the track when they don't keep changing the numbers every year, I don't see any advantage to this system. For example, we all know Pourcel as 377, but now he has to run the number 30. Pretty pointless in my opinion.

It stays with them along as they score 25 points a season or are given a pass as you mentioned with Byrne. I've read the rule and it has that injury clause. I'm still surprised Byrne could keep it because he did try to race, so I thought that cancelled that out.

It's kinda crazy to me, almost every number in the top 30 is taken through championships or career numbers, except 21, 23, 28, and 30. Byrne didn't get the necessary points to run 26, so not sure why that's not avail., but back on topic, not very many of those numbers in the top 30 will be avail for years, plus the 33,41,51, 75, and 94. So basically there are 70 numbers up for grabs with fewer n fewer each year with guys earning career numbers by finishing in the top 10 points overall. Did they see this coming when they changed to career numbers and added the regional 250sx points to the total?

I know, right? What a silly concept to actually wear the number that was earned. It would be so hard to identify Ryan Dungey if he had a number two on his bike one year and a number one the next. Unsure

Yep, number 8 and 13 are the only #'s available in top 20.
Careers are lasting longer, more guys finishing top ten and fewer numbers available.
Imo top ten finish is a great accomplishment just not enough to earn a career number
Edit*
Idk career numbers benefit the rider and helps with marketing themselves so their is value for them. Maybe stiffer requirements to earn it.

Ok wow! I asked an honest question because I couldn't remember exactly what the rule was on the matter.

2nd......I hadn't drank a drop of anything.
3rd.....I rarely drink anyways!
4th......what the hell is with the low blow Duane?

2 years ago they changed the rules to allow 250SX points to count. Prior to that change only 250MX points counted towards national numbers.

AC said when he got his first national # that he would eventually get "his #" back. I'm assuming after next year he will be 92... that is when he isn't running #1

I've always wished they would go back to run
What you earned .
Every one could easily see how they finished the previous year so if a guy with # 50 or 66 etc is winning they can see an improvement or if a # 1 or 5 finished outside the top ten
Same thing . people like to root for underdogs so easy to see a higher # or 3 digit # do well is an underdog.

I see. Well no shots were taken.....it was an honest question. I had thought only current and previous champions were able to get a top 20 number and I had a brain fart. There does seem to be a flaw in the way they have it though. Sooner or later we'll have maybe a couple more champions and quite a few guys who break into the top 10 in points that are not currently in the top 20 now.

Seems as though it will get bottle-necked some time in the future.
