The Shop
1. Boring. Ask anyone you try to get to watch it. Admit it, you fall asleep watching.
2. Predictable. After the 1st few laps very little passing. Series points seldom end in drama.
3. Formats. Designed for the factory boys to never fail to make the main.
4. Confusing. Why 2 classes when they go the same speed? East/West?
5. Too clean. I thought Motocross riders got dirty?
6. Not close enough racing. The Have's and Have Not's have too much separation.
7. No Exotica. Production bikes with lawnmower engines. No Weed eaters. Homolgation?
8. Big Name Riders not in the Show. Degree of Difficulty. Top riders injury rate. Stupid PED rules.
9. Closed Pits. Can we get one of those Hot announcers to go do some interviews anywhere other than the exit lane?
10. Purse Money. You can never hype how much the winner gets because it is lame. Holeshot award a joke.
Monster, Factories, AMA, Fox 1 Sports, Feld, do any of you read enthusiast forums?
As for the purses, the way I see it, the same 88 guys will make the night show. and their purses could be similar.... B class cannot pay same as A class, but so be it. In the end those guys would have not made the main anyway and collect their lcq purse.
This model solves several fundamental problems.
1. Privateers have no money and get little exposure. Hopefully those guys can get more exposure and therefore more sponsor money and maybe be more competitive. Narrows the gap between the haves and have nots.
2. To me the current format is boring. My guy get in on his heat and I go to sleep. Wake up for main. John Q public doesn't get it, has no idea what any of it means and why. Quals would be exciting to see where everyone winds up. He gets a bad start and its all over, no second moto to redeem. Its really hard for top 5 guys to come from 11 to win a race....
3. Good racing......instead of watch the start, leader checks out.....game over......go to bed. Qualifying should have always been during the day..........I bet having more equal competitors and less road blocks will make the racing spectacular.
4. Pros would have enough time between mains to change an engine. B only have to run one main....most of these guys don't get a new engine every race......It will help them out a bit too. instead of running, heat, semi, lcq, main or no main. Just one race......
Anyway, its never gonna happen, because my opinion dont mean crap.......
