Passes 30 people in 4 laps? 40th in the first turn of the first lap. Less than 10 minutes later he's inside the top 10. What an epic charge. (Either that or he cut the track). Best race lap was a 2:24 and we saw none of it? WTF?

He's in a 2013 (Lites) sized hole. He could pull it off, but it will be real difficult.

Faarrkk I do hope the absolute beast mode comes out from now going forward. I feel like if he went a solid 1-1 next weekend, everything that's happened these past 2 weeks, all of the confidence the other guys have built, will be heavily discounted.

Everyone has always said he does his best work when he is the hunter, not the hunted. Well, game on.

What does it say about the depth of talent in the field?

40 points down with 14 points paying motos remaining, and 350 points possible. I’d say it’s far from over.

Lol! Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not. How many short series have there been? I can’t think of any. Seems like mute point. We have no examples to reference.

How many 450 nationals has Zach won???

Zach is gonna have to beat one of the very best ever to win the 2020 outdoor title.... one hell of a tough road to hoe.......

Eli and Zach are not known for being great starters. Both charge at the end of motos. Eli actually got out of the gate better then Zach in both motos on Saturday

Tough road to hoe, sure. But for all intensive purposes it could be a blessing in the skies.

Having Cooper out helps... one less top competitor to catch. Eli's in a big hole but if he starts reeling off wins he'll be back in it fairly quick. SWOHIO had a good point about Zach not being a great starter. I think Marvin could be the biggest challenge.

You would have thought that with the time off, and the possibility of not even having a season would have changed people's attitudes a bit!

True dat. Never take it for granite that Eli is out of it.

Not a huge MM fan but I'll put my money on him, ZO peaked in LL and Marv will only get better. Tomac has a tough situation but he's done before as in '13 & '17SX. Thing is how AC and others will play out in the equation along the road.

I would think Marvin is Zachos biggest threat. He’s dangerously consistent and not too far behind in points. Really only takes one bad moto for Zach for this to close up quickly again and judging off his track record, I don’t think it’s too big of a stretch to see him make a mistake over the next 14 motos.

I’m not ready to write Tomac off yet either but I think a lot of people are sleeping on Marv.
