    If I were in charge of the AMA nationals and SX here's what I would do. I'd bring back 3 classes. 125, 250 and open. All 3 classes would be open to either 2 or 4 stroke bikes of the same cc as the class size. 125 class would be open to bikes up to 125cc 2 or 4 stroke. The same with 250 class. Open class would be open to anything 251cc and up, 2 or 4 stroke. The 125 class would obviously be dominated by 2 strokes as I don't think even a crf150r stands a chance against a 125 2 stroke. The 250 class would be kinda a wash I think. The open class would most likely be dominated by 4 strokes. This would give all the MFG's a chance to sell more bikes.

    You would also need to do away with the homologation fees for each model...or the mfgs would still limit the certified bikes. But yes, it does seem like theyve squeezed the choices down quite a bit too much at this point.

    Also, your title is a bit of an inside joke for me....as OMRA President I like to say that....with the emphasis on King, because Im not. Gets me off the hook for all kinds of things :-)

    I would also like to see the final race field reduced to the top 10. I want to see the top riders banging bars with the guys who have a chance to win instead of waisting energy picking their way around the lappers

    Unfortunately a race of 10 would be rather boring if no one got a bad start and the riders sorted quickly it would just be 10 guys circulating a track with no excitement.

    This is not supercross but I would make the gncc a true national series and have several rounds in the west of the country, otherwise it is just the GECC.

    WORCS said they're going east in an ad in one of the motorcycle magazines.

    With 10 people the starts would be boring lol

    I prefer a 10 second boring start to a 20 minute boring race
