San Diego AMA Supercross is this weekend. Reed and Stewart are still out, Dungey still leads, but Villopoto and Hill are coming on strong. The big news….it’s raining! Oh, and by the way, Aussie Dan Reardon is back for the first time since round one.

Pretty sure he crashed out John, while Reardon was 13th I think, but the results aren't posted/working at the moment!

It's starting to shape up as a good Championship.
This looks like it will be a good one to watch... I don't know why we have to wait until Friday?? Damn TV exec's. Now Tiger's a "bad boy" maybe he might want to try moto racing.. Then we'd get it live to air...LOL
Reardon 13th
Burner 14th

Was Dan Readon riding a 250 2 stroke or is it an error in the results?

I don't think he was mate!!! You wouldn't think so anyways lol.
It's going to be an awesome season, I think I would like Josh Hill to win the title, but Id be just as happy for Dungey to win it.
Let's hope Shorty is OK after crashing out of second at San Diego.
Dungey apparently finished off the race with no water in the radiator - lucky break to finish!

I echo your thoughts regarding the season. I'm happy for anyone new to win the title but I think it will come down to Dungey and Villopotto.
Would also be great to see some of the top guys come down and do Super X this year.

It will be hard to convince the US team bosses that their riders need to take part in our series.
Their season is a long one and with lots of specialist races (MXoN / Bercy / US Open etc) I thinking that most of the good riders will be putting their feet up. Chad signed for three years so he might not have a choice but for the others injury and exhaustion may take their toll on the 2010 SuperX.
I hope that Dungey gets the title but wouldn't mind seeing Hill / Short and even Millsaps take the crown.

Looks like we're all happy for anybody to win haha. I really can't wait for the Moss boys to come back and put on a show for the Aussies too. It won't be easy, but they'll pick it up soon enough.

So for Super X 2010 you see the current arrangement of a few AMA guys only doing selected rounds.
It also begs the question of how we can make our domestic competition stronger as the AMA guys help to bring a different level of speed to our series.
Your thoughts!

It's a problem that the Global Economic crisis will help determine.
Our riders would benefit greatly from the International competitors and I'm sure they will turn up for a "few" guest rides.
Please remember these are just my uneducated equasions that I'm discussing.
The main problem I see is the cost involved with getting a top10 rider out here. Good equipment, financial incentives and accommodation not to mention transport, food etc for the entire series. As you can see there wouldn't be many teams able to fund the costs involved.
It's a lot easier to get the top guys out here for one or two events.
I'm sure it will be as big or bigger than the last one but I don't expect to see many US riders packing their bags for Australia without a massive increase in prize money.
