The split start in Charlotte should be very interesting

That start might cause some carnage. These playoff tracks definitely look like they are based off how they have been at Atlanta Motor Speedway the last 2 years.

Small balls need not apply. Just shut off halfway in and take what you get or risk it for a biscuit and end up 911. That’s gonna be some gnarly shite, lol

Hell my strategy would be to sandbag the hole shot, let the chaos unfold and then go around everyone

I haven’t been keeping up since the end of motocross season, so wtf is “super Moto cross”

Is it no longer AMA/FIM?

Separated from FIM in 2021.

Last fall, Feld and the Coombs came together to combine SX and MX into one sport. SX and MX are still their own leagues with their own championships but now they have a combined points system to enter the 3 round SMX playoffs to determine a grand champion.

They say they have been working on this since 2020 but alot of people speculate that this came about because of…

1 - to stop riders from becoming Supercross only riders

2 - to keep the new WSX from grabbing the top talent

Both 1 and 2 save the outdoors from getting left behind and Feld is worried about the money WSX is throwing to riders. WSX is like motos LIV golf at the moment.

Early impression from qualifying is that KTM has fixed last years problems. Marv is out there cornering like the red plate is on the line

It’ll be shocking if there aren’t any casualties tonight. Looks pretty greasy

Sexton is going to take the title this year.

Hoping Shimoda gives Jett a run for his money to keep it exciting, but will also be happy if Jett just dominates.

Creepiest moment of my life: my son and I ran into Jett Lawrence at the CotA MotoGP race, got some pics and got stuff signed, then told him my grandson is named after him.

Sushi is racing East coast against Hunter. A couple East/West showdowns he’ll get a crack at everybody. I like Shimoda and he’s been building into a legit threat

Ah okay, I thought I read somewhere that he was West. I missed all the preview shows and haven’t kept up in the offseason. I used to follow all the message boards and everything and did a column on Supercross.com, but I slacked off in recent years.
