Bowling Green, KY - The final day of the ATVA Motocross Nationals will held today at the Ballance Moto X just north Bowling Green, KY, and the track is picture perfect with many claiming it is the best track for ATV racing yet this year, which is no surprise with Bill Ballance involved with its layout.

The weather was overcast yesterday with temperatures only rising up to the low 70's, and it appears the weather will be almost identical today to wrap-up the mx racing season.

The Live Coverage will begin at 12PM Central Time

If Gust winns overall, Byrd needs 16 points to take the title.

I thought they said as long as Byrd finishes fifth or better overall he will win the championship.

Hey there Porp. Some of don't like thinking so much on Sundays so it's easier to say places than points:D ;)

LT80

If they start comparing 2nd place finishes, Byrd will take it.
If they go by the lowest score points, Gust will (Byrd 8~Gust-9)

crazyaboutlsu
09-03-2006, 11:28 AM
Little is 12 points behind JJ. Basically, if Keith finishes 8th overall, he will take over 3rd. 9th place = 12 points, which would put them in a tie and JJ would win that.

tie=

1. The rider having the most 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. will be the winner.

2. If the tie still exists, the points accumulated in the events previously not counted (i.e. throw out points) will determine the winner.

3. If the tie still exists, the rider who had the better score when competing against the other tied riders will be the winner.

4. If the tie still exists, and the riders did not compete against one another, the rider who competed against the most entries in that class in that round will determine the winner.

5. If the tie still exists, and the riders competed against the same number of riders, the rider competing against the most overall entries in that round will be the winner.

6. In the event a tie still exists, the winner will be determined by ATVA staff.

After all these years, Byrd's finally earned the top spot. Doug's just as good as Joe, but I think that anyone who puts forth as much time, effort, training, and dedication as these guys do deserve their 15 minutes of fame. I would like to see all of the guys who have a real heart and hunger for this sport get a chance to win a title, but right now, it's Joes turn, go on Proffessor, take 'em to school.

so, overall should be

1) gust
2) lawson
3) byrd
4) wimmer
5) Little

If that's the case the overall for the year would be

1) Byrd
2) Gust
3) Little
4) Jones
5) Natalie (don't know where he finished, but Wimmer needed to make up 17 points. If he finished 10 or 11th, he should be here).
6) Wimmer

last time ballance took to the air during the break he ended up with a fairly significant injury

with the gncc resuming less than 1 week from sundays moto's, a 16 point lead over a blazing fast chris borich, and a barry hawk tying 7th consecutive gncc championship all in the air, it was probably just not worth the risk

I wonder if it's a clause in his contract with Yamaha, ha may not be able to race any other event other than GNCC, while the season is still going. I think that is what stoped some MX pros from racing WPSA this year. Rumor has it that they could not break their contract with sponsors and their comitment to the GNC's.

Bill Balance did not race because he is not a idiot.He has a few races coming up that he might want to try and do well in and did not need to take a stupid chance of getting hurt.:rolleyes:

I wanna see who all the champions are.

They are up on www.atvaonline.com

This was definately a crazy year with all the injuries, politics and of course 14 races worth of fuel expenses :eek2: It was not easy for anyone to come out #1. Congrats to all the class champions for a hard earned win! :cool:

Congrats to Joe Byrd!! If John couldn't win back to back championships, then Joe was my next choice!

I'm glad the new Zuk didn't win a championship right out of the box....Wimmer is going to be a force to reckon with next year. I have a feeling he's going to be running the Zuk and will be a contender for the title.

UMM! Suzuki did win the championship!

They won the WPSA. Not only did Doug win the championship. Suzuki won the Manufactures championship.

Also If the whole Birch Creek thing was taken care of Suzuki would have won the GNC championship also. There was a 13 point difference and at the end it was won by 6. But that is racing and Doug was a TRUE champion by congradulating Joe on his championship up on the podium. He always said if he couldn't win he would like Joe to win.;)

39 years old and still kicking *****.:blah:

You said that right!!!! Joe has been after a championship a long time, but he did not win it. It was given to him. Did Joe run any ESPN races???;)

I would probably guess that Joe didn't want to win the championship this way but I'll bet deep down in his heart he knows that the misfortunes of others led to his victory. I'm not saying that in any way is he a lesser champion for it because out of every person who posts on this forum (or any other for that matter) and has thrown a leg over an atv this year only one rider is the ATVA MX Champ. I'm not a Joe Byrd fan but I have the common sense to know that winning a championship at the top level of any sport is a worthy accomplishment. Congratulations Joe and to all the other class champions this year. See you all at the WPSA next year:D :D :D

Both fuel tests passed the required specs. You can read the article on the ATVA website. www.atvaonline.com. Nice to see a new champion

Joe and Doug both jumped on a yellow flag. Doug was docked 12 points and Joe none. Joe won the championship by 5. It looks like they were punishing Doug for running the WPSA, IMO.
