MX Nats..round 1 predictions?

[Pappy]

Only a few days before we kick it in the sticks of Georgia! With Wimmer and creamer out of the picture the door is wide open for someone to step it up and be the man this year!


Question is, who will it be?

[440racer66]

im hoping j. lawson wins it!!!

[hilltop_83]

Upperman!

[outacontrol]

Hope upperman and hetrick do well

[quad2xtreme]

Based on a guess...Upperman and Byrd battle for 1st and 2nd. I say 80% chance one of the two will get the holeshot.

Wienen and Natalie will be in the mix but I will go with John for 3rd. Chad seems to get stronger at the end of the season.

[Pappy]

Don't forget, Goodman is running and he is hard to beat to that 1st turn!

ah, didn't know that. Thought he was focusing on another series this year. He is the holeshot king without a doubt.

3 killer Honda motors for sure.

I am heading to Saturday night's Supercross in Atlanta . Just checked and this race is just 2 hours away....hmmm...

[Pappy]

Harold is back to running the MX nats and the EDT series....he wont be doing the XC thang this year

[tjsdaname]

you all are crazy.... chad wienen will win...

[roostX400]

i think the usual guys will be up front with maybe a good show from Hetrick, but also wait till you see all the 2010 pro am guys that have moved up. if you get a few of those guys up near the front in the holeshot and some fast guys behind them it will be hard to get around, while the leaders are making a gap.

should be interesting whats going to happen.

[fastex91]

1. Wienen
2. Wimmer
3. Byrd
4. Natalie
5. Upperman

[KingpinsEx]

I think this year is Weinens year, however I expect to see a battle with Lawson and Upperman... Can't wait, any word on when it is airing on tv?

[88redrocket]

I think well see upperman wienen and natalie on the podium alot this year

[mxpimp2000]

[fastrnrik]

Devin Heimes

[MX450]

[Pappy]

I wouldnt count out Joe Byrd:chinese:

He needs to do better than last out of the gate to get a win.

[john willhoite]

this might be wierd, but I couldn't believe how fast Chase Snapp was this weekend at the TQRA race. He cheked out on the field.

[mamaknothead]

I predict you will see Chase and Joel on the podium this season. I have seen both of them riding in the last few weeks and they are both very focused and ready.

Good Luck Rookies!!

forgot the pros were racing on Saturday now. Won't be making it for sure.

[rageatvsupermom]

I think there won't be one person running away with it this year, there will be a mixture on the podium. Ya'll are forgeting Thomas Brown, I know that there has been noone training harder than Chad and Thomas so I believe we will see alot of them and of course John will be in the mix as well. We have high hopes for Joel and wish all of the riders a good injury free year. Of course we are rooting for Harold to have a few holeshots.

Good luck to all the racers!!!!!!:p

[SRH]

jim jack from alabama has it this season, he will take john deere to there first ever podium

[madskrillz2]

Goin by what I saw Saturday, Wienen is gonna run away with it.

[dan harris]

My money is on Natalie, he's pretty hungry for another national championship !

Wishing all the racers a safe and successful season !

[THARNESS]

Chad and Thomas should be up front

[jrspawn]

Natalie!!!

Im also pulling for Lawson to be up there too!

[lasher45]

Wienen will take the championship hands down this year. Followed by Upperman.

[Balaz_73*00]

Does anybody have a list of who is racing pro this year?

[josborn]

Wienen
Lawson
Upperman

If any of the above win it, I'm content. But i think its Wienen's year.

[patrickj75]

Weinen
Upperman
Natalie

[SRH]

wienen , natalie, lawson

[Ellingsoc26]

Weinen - Wins the most races and takes home the plate
Upperman - Is hot and cold
Lawson - Fast but cant run the pace the whole race
Thats my Top 3

[rpfeifer11]

I want upperman to win it more than anyone. He is the man.

[Derrick Adams]

Upperman has the bike and hopefully the conditioning.

Weinen has the skill and conditioning and hopefully the bike.

Natalie has the skill and knowledge and hopefully the conditioning and the bike.

I think its going to be a nail biter this year.

[K-Dub]

The Ironman all the way!

Weinen starts out to slow. If John's bike holds up he wins it.

[Pappy]

I just got off the phone with Mark Baldwin, he said Upperman is ready to do work:D

Talked to Mike at Durhamtown and he said the Cam Am riders were tearing the place a new one!

saw some recent video of Wienen...have to say I was impressed. Dare I say he seems to have softened his suspension settings.

[KingpinsEx]

I heard T Brown was not running the nationals?

[hunter61]

man yall all crazy travis moore is going to win it all this year!!!! first rookie to win the championship!!!!

[MX_Racer_20]

I thought Yamaha's press release about the team said he was :confused:

[Pappy]

T Brown is running, seen him today

Wienen is slim and trim.....

Natalie looked about normal, well as normal as he can be

Byrd....keep an eye on him, sounded like he wants to battle

Upperman....ready to roll

Lawson....very hungry

Hetrick.....wait and see

It is going to be one very busy day!

[jcv400ex]

Did I see a Cannondale in the mix?

[Pappy]

Well, round 1 is history....what say you?

[mildtowildracin]

if lawson can get good starts he can get that #1 plate, weinen is fast this year, and natalie is well... natalie hes gonna do good if his bike holds up, i say 3rd overall for him

[quad2xtreme]

after seeing the video of Chad's recent riding that another member posted, I was not at all surprised he won nor will I be surprised to see him continuing to win. So glad John did well and realizing he could have split the motos with Chad is really good news. Dan was right when he said John was hungry.

I've compared Chad's technique for going through the rough sections against Wimmer's and Natalie's. I was surprised to see his improvement in this area since last year. It looks like he is finally letting his suspension take more of the beating. He is going to be tough to beat this year. Even with an average start he can win.

2nd to Chad, I was most surprised by Byrd. I thought Byrd would do better.

Again, I base most of this on nothing since I have zero insider knowledge and haven't seen any of them ride since last season...uneducated guess at best and willing to admit it. :p

[mxpimp2000]

I told yall its chads race, :macho

where was GREG GEE???
