Forty years ago, Team Honda arrived on the American motocross circuit with a brand new motorcycle: the game-changing Elsinore CR250. Page 170.

Didn't mention Stewart... he is out with an injured ego.
BTW, RacerX has it wrong. Hangtown race-2 will not air same day on Speed, it will air SUNDAY. Surprised racerx did not go the extra mile to let everyone know this instead of making up things such "all racers will air "same day" on speed live or at night".
Put the d,a,m,n,e,d photos with the text.
How long will JS7 race pro motocross before he calls it quits? He is good but it only takes that one time on the ground and your out forever. Dirt naps are not going to make you a beter rider.
I predict he makes one more try next year at the SX title and if he comes up short, retires.
He is a self absorbed pouter (quiter) by nature. If he can not have what he wants he takes his ball and goes home.
I say go.
Stewart is out because he hurt his over inflated head trying to jam his xxxL helmet on
Remember last year Stewart quit during a race! I've never understood his fans loyalty when his loyalty to the sport is conditional on him winning not competing. Now he is "not ready" or doesn't have money...tell that to Chad Reed who puts a whole team together in weeks and finishes second in SX!
bummer for stroupie, that dayyam shoulder. wonder if wharton will get a good ride after missing so much of this year. Stewey is the most fit, healthy guy out there. his sponsors ought to drop him like a hot rock
Trey is the biggest loss for the big class- he is FAST outdoors
I love how all the Stewart haters spell like ignorant hillbillies that never graduated middle school. Got alotta nerve to criticize him when you morons can hardly spell. Don't judge him until you know the situation, and none of you keyboard racers know the entire situation. Stick to your keyboard racing. On another note, Blake Wharton pointed himself out of lites class, so next year he'll be riding 450's, IF he can find a ride. Shoulda sat out after he hurt his shoulder and he wouldn't have pointed out of lites class, not a smart move on Blake's part in my opinion.
read your own post dope. 'alotta' really?
Hey Moron, Fans have the right to judge since they pay for that priviledge. In 2005 JS quit at Hangtown after the first moto and did not let his mechanic know. He quit at Unidilla also and both times he got his butt kicked. He is too lazy to race the outdoors he cannot even walk to his own garage.
@ Morons, You must be a cool, college educated liberal. " Don't pick on my Bubba". Cry me a river.
Listen you jerks, I can't hang with RV, Dung beetle, Reed, or even Alessi. You guys saw how Alessi was challenging me all the time the last time I rode outdoors (I know it was a long time ago). So I'm trying to save face here by saying I"m not ready.
Good news is that I have another reality TV show and I got a t-shirt deal at Walmart.
Listen James, you pretty much took out every top guy in the SX series this year, so I personally am very happy you decided to take the summer off. I was talking to RC after the Vegas SX and he reminded me of how you jumped onto his back at Unadilla that year and nearly killed him. I guess running into your bike and getting ejected wasn't as bad as I thought. I'm sure Reed can shave a second or two of his lap times now that he doesn't have to look behind him every time he wants to turn left.
BTW, love the new wheels on the Rolls man.
KLRMan, You both have it wrong.Moto 2 is live on Fuel channel 4pm est.Oh yea, Bubbles is a heartless non-motoin chump!!!!!!!
Hey Micky Carbunkle, you have it wrong. Moto 1 is live on fuel.
Has the AMA reserved some of the SX gate fee to provide these guys with both health insurance and loss of revenue insurance? I am sure it is out there and the AMA should provide it.
josh hill?
Too bad few riders turn away from the roots of this sport that catapolted SX. Like drag racing- I like to see these horses go all out, yea cannot be on all parts of track at all times. If it wasnt for all of us 50+ year olds and our Dad's (On Any Sunday also), this sport would not exist. I saw the "vet" class -over 30 with about 6 riders at each race- Take another look......
Bubba- I got some gray hair color touchup for you
Anybody seen my pipe?
@ThePrinterGuy,
You got it! There is so much history to this sport and it seems like alot of the youngsters don't care...it's a shame.
Hey Jason, do you mean your crack pipe????
