I think if the rider is good enough, he shouldnt have to ride AX first. There is always a chance of a major injury for an up and coming superstar since they are riding with riders well below their own ability.
They should let the people pay their entry fee and see if they can turn a fast lap time to qualify for the heat races. At worst case scenario, they are spending alot of money to run a couple practice and qualifying laps.
I think the "Road to Supercross" is just something RC has done to attach his name to something. A chance for him to be a mentor. I like RC, but AX should be for the riders that are not good enough for supercross, not someone who can go to SX right now and make the main.
Just think of arenacross as the minor league. No big deal for a "rookie" to run a few rounds and then get his calling to the big show. Heck if teams were bigger and more money I don't think it would be out of the question to send a rider back down when coming back from a injury and or sub par results.
I have said it for years that the schools need to start mx team and compete against all other schools on Saturday nights. This sport would grow and more people would be exposed to the sport. Could go all the way to states and etc... just like every other school sport. Then again all the fast guys these days are home schooled and or don't attend school.
Just think the local football field could be used for moto team in spring and summer. Plus the teams need to get there riders on the radio and tv for interviews and media bs. Heck I listen to baseball, football and hockey talk all day on the radio would be nice to hear some time to moto but the sport is not big enough and will never be big enough the current way it's heading. Could be but people are to up tight to be open to new ideas etc... but I see nothing wrong with having to hit a few arenacross events as I have seen years ago some trying to qualify for a national that had no place being on the track with anyone considered being a "pro".

After all the bike does all the work and it isn't physical like football.
He ran the A class in 2010 and 2011Austin Coon ran Arenacross in the B class not positive about A class, but kid is fast
Yea, that 1st heat race had me fooled. Its Deanos championship to lose IMO. Marvin the martian did ride back pretty well for being down in the 1st turn though.East Coast SX was kindof boring, no? From the looks of it I think Wilson might just run away with the title.
Um not sure that theres any reason to post a new topic. Everyone is either at summit or down south riding it seems like.
No, everyone's not doing either one of those two, most of the real world is still here. Those gone are just the loud mouths and obnoxious ones. Thank you, your welcome!
