Whats the change you wish to see in moto/supercross?

[Stusmoke]

Besides the obvious cc for cc racing irrespective of engine type. Could be a rotary diesel for all I care.

Mine would be this: Proper Production rule. By this I mean factory teams must run almost everything OEM style. The only exclusions to me would be new spring rates, valving (suspension only) and tires. No more several-hundred-thousand dollar bikes. The bikes MUST weigh within 5 pounds of what it does coming off the showroom floor. Everything engine wise including exhaust must be 100% original factory. No engine work, nothing besides spring rates valving and tires to suit the occasion.

This would serve a couple of purposes if you ask me. For starters, get rid of these rebuild every race 250Fs. Its bloody stupid. It sends millionaire teams BANKRUPT FFS!!!!! I mean when a sport that is supposed to be open to most people is sending millionaires bankrupt, something needs to be done. Secondly, it gives the privateers a more even playing field. They can run their engines for a good 40 hours before rebuilding. Thirdly, it encourages manufacturers to FIX THE ISSUES OF A BIKE AT THE FACTORY!!!! Eg: 2009-12 CRF450R. Completely Useless in almost every department. But it didn't hold chad reed back did it? He was running alright on it. Cos he had a couple million dollars to spare. Fourthly it brings more rider skill into the equation. If a rider has to run what the factory blokes brung, flaws and all, its bound to throw in some interesting line choices and it shows viewers that just because Monster energy/Pro circuit Kawasaki team has won the past god knows how many championships it doesn't mean its the best bike. Although according to MXA it is lol.

Now maybe I'm just being shortsighted. I know that alot of the appeal to watch pro riders for some people is in these crazy tricked out bikes they ride, but I don' think thats what it should be about. Maybe if this rule was put into practise, all the factory teams would tell the AMA to eat a d**k and pack up and leave (Assuming they didn't just buy the rule out) and the market would crash. Its hard to know.

I think it would help in so many ways, but of course theres downsides to anything.

CC for CC would be great.... But something more tangible, I would say fairly strict production rules in the 250 class.... Perhaps an age limit in the 250 class and some sort of 125 2t  type support class.

A "spec" 125 class

[Stusmoke]

I would like to see a 125 only, 250 and open. By open, I mean OPEN! Be it diesel, water, electric or nuclear, run it in whatever displacement suits you.

At the VERY LEAST we need an engine restriction for the MX2 and 1 classes. Like motoGP has. Its out of hand.

bring back the air cooled, no power valve,  125's
Heck I could race back then with neighborhood lawn mowing wages.

And probably had just as much fun as the racers out there today do.

Yeah, I know. Livin in da past....

     I suppose I would like to see a decrease in jump size at a local level track. I personally don't enjoy "flying" on my bike. When I want to get into FMX, than I will go seek big jumps else where, but huge jumps, in my opinion, need to be reduced on MX tracks. It isn't a pageant like SX where companies show off their bikes by catching huge air and what not.

Right on.  I think that's the single biggest barrier to entry for newer, older (work on Monday) guys coming into the sport. 


...that, and four strokes.

I wish they would bring back the semi's in SX. I always liked the old format .....no timed practice just racing. Night show should be heats, semi's, last chance and mains. Less talking and more racing!

i would like to see 4 pigs banned outright, the sport would boom again and we would stop losing tracks coz of the noisy heaps of poo! 125, 250 & 500 class again thats all

[SachsGS]

It would be nice to see the rules relaxed so that the smaller manufacturers could participate.
