Change structure to have A and B in each displacement class. Do all qualifying during the day to pick 44 spots. If you qualify 1-22 you are in A. If you qualify 23-44 you are in B. Do two mains in the night show for A class 15 laps.One for B So that 6 races. Its senseless to have whoever is the last place qualifier to race ryan dungey, however, I think it would be highly entertaining to watch riders 23-44 collectively. Each race lasting approx 20 min will keep everyone tuned in and good for commercials between each race. There will be no championship points paid for anyone who races in a B class. Just exposure and a chance to win for once in their career.....And yes less jumps and more passing ops for track. If you get a bad start you still have another chance.

It would be an awesome night of racing, I might know who #72 is and that is good for all. Sport will grow as a result.

Seriously, it's a problem, but it's too late now !!
How are you going to split up the purse between so many classes? Thats already a huge issue.
1st. main as usual
2nd. main inverted 22 riders so many feet apart, single file start, neutral start 2 hands on helmet second moto invert
don't see how you could sand bag... example Dungey first main moto over Stewie....
Stewie would start 21st. Dungey 22nd
it would be fun to watch except for the fact the top 10 are so much faster somebody could get landed on
Could you see Dungey in the second moto main trying to get around Stewie, Tomac, Roczen, Reed and the rest...
it was tryed before but was set up for sand bagging...
Love to see it done outdoors with a timed gate handicap per rider but the roost...
its great to kick back on a cold ass saturday night and watch SX for 3 hours. You can have the big corporate money and exposure, imo that is a double edged sword and could very easily make it worse.
Forcing the sport to be bigger is not necessarily a good thing. I think Fox did some great things last year and SX is doing fine
Pit Row
SX needs all of the heavy hitters up front at the start and less of, for lack of a better term, the "also rans" getting in the way, playing block, while the leaders get away.
I think something like a "B-Main" should actually be considered. Guys like Chisholm and Albertson would gain a lot more exposure battling for the win in the B-Main than they ever will duking it out for 15th in the current format.
SX is already a show. Why not try to make it a better one?
Btw you are 100% right. I watched a 1997(?) SX the other day and it was unreal how often the 'top' guys didn't hit the triples.... and the racing was amazing
SX needs to be simple. 1 main for each class
The TV slot needs to be shorter. Cut the qualifying, 2 long main events for both 250 and 450 class. 2 hour time slot, and ALL of the racing you see on TV actually matters.
Not every viewer of the NFL straps on pads, not every PGA observer hits the links weekly, most NASCAR fans have a silverado... not a mod pro stock in the garage........
We need to appeal to people who do not own a bike, nor ever will..... that's how the sport grows, becomes more successfull, pays privateers, etc!!
250 LCQ: No changes.
250 Main: No changes.
450 Heat: Give 2 points for the win.
450 Semi: No changes
450 LCQ: No changes
450 Main1: 12 laps (Dirty Dozen) Top 12 move on the Main2 Winner 3pts, 2nd 2pts, 3rd 1pt. 13-20 take your points and see you next week.
450 Main 2: 8 laps Top 6 get the inside gate picks Final 6 get outside gate picks. Inside gate drops and then outside drops 3 seconds later. Game on for 8 laps! 1-12 earn regular points.
This opens up the points chase and gives riders added bonus to race their hardest the entire night.
