Check out TEAM HONDA AT DAWN
in our Latest issue of Racer X available now.
Forty years ago, Team Honda arrived on the American motocross circuit with a brand new motorcycle: the game-changing Elsinore CR250. Page 170.
Look for the verified symbol

RacerX - COME ON.
You seriously have Zach Bell, Jeremy Martain, Justin Hill, and Gavin Faith on this poll but you left out Darryn Durham??? You have to be insane.
Yeah, he missed the nationals so people might forget that he got his first win last year and multiple podium's and top 5's before getting injured..
I posted that before reading the SX East notes. Whoops... anyways, go Deano
You hit "submit," changed articles, read a page, returned here, composed the above, and hit submit again.

Pretty good.
This week's edition of COM'ON MAN belongs to the writer of Racer X polls! Good Grief.......Spagina is right on.
Go Blake Wharton 13, Geico boys W-Hahn & Z-Bell, G-Faith & J-Hill etc ...
And where's Bogle?
Guys, please read the East Region Preview before commenting. Durham, Bogle, Izzi, A. Martin are all out with injuries. That is why they are not listed on the poll.
I repeat Chase just for the sake of pounding the point home: Durham, Bogle and Izzi aren't racing, they're out injured. We didn't forget them--they're just not going to be able to win the title this year so we're not putting them in this poll. We knew this would happen!
Not much competetion here as compared to the West, in my opinion, but on 2 guys have wins in the West, so maybe they are about the same.. Wilson should walk away with this, maybe Musquin..
ElsinoreRacer:
Actually, I hit submit, went to the other page to read the East preview, noticed immediately that Durham is out.. you know, since they listed his team at the top of the page, and then came back here to claim my mistake. So, dont give me all the credit... i didn't read the whole article before correcting my mistake.. didnt want one of the Supercross Keyboard Specialists on here to chew me out, ya know

WTF what about Izzi?
Just kidding you cry babies.
Another good reason to elimanate this forums..Now we have the staff in a full on brawl !! LOL !!
Learn to read people - MX Bob Weege is AGREEING with Chase - not in conflict with him!
Musquin wins - Wilson - like tomac is going to be the fstest - slightly, but will make a big mistake and give it away I feel. That is why he has not won a supercross title yet - bad races. Musquin is going real good at the test track I hear...REAL GOOD.
East Coast should boil down to a battle between a Scotsman (Wilson) and a Frenchman (Musquin). Top American should be a battle of Texans, Wharton and Hahn. Rookie honors will be a battle between Martin and Bell...
I will be worried for Wilson if he doesnt secure the title this year with the current line up. Wharton is too inconsistent imo. Would like to see Musquin challenge to make it interesting for ktm this year. Finally, I think Gavin Faith will get in there and challenge for some podiums. Just my gut feelings, who knows.
So, how tall is Dean'o this year? 6'11, 6'12? He might be able to reach out and cross the finish line, without ever leaving the start gate.
Seems like decades since he's raced. I wonder if he still speaks Scotcheze...
caseypons
He is 5'11 How about your man Dorner !! LOL !!
Glad we got out of your neck of the woods and get to some nice weather !!
Haha - posted at 12:05 in the Insight article: "Dean Wilson is the favorite for the East Region title." then, posted at 12:10 - a poll: "WHO IS THE FAVORITE IN 250 EAST?" Oops!
Anyhoo - everyone will be doing well to beat the consistency and speed of Musquin and Wilson. This is Wilson's best chance to clinch and indoor title (albeit regional) to go with his MX national championship.
Also - I reckon Gavin Faith will surprise some people. He's a big dude so starts might be an issue (see Eli Tomac) but if he nails his starts, he's coming.
Wharton all the way! @RCDirtBikeAction: Wharton is not inconsistent! I hope he takes it all and gets the recognition he deserves! HE missed 2nd last year by 1 point and topped Musquin!
@Sarah65
Hey you lil spud ...Wharton will crash at the stadium 1st round !!
You left out Mookie....................................
Sorry had to upset you guys (laughing here.)
@MX Bob: We'll see. Just have a little faith! Wharton is awesome!
I voted for Musquin even though I think Wilson will take it. I just couldn't vote for Wilson after all the whining last year. Sorry Deano, but you tried to clean out Tomac twice, so you had it coming.
Marvin Muskquim may have somethin for the big East ...the guy can ride. Wharton needs to not put up with the pin ball action this go round and go all Denzel on em.......If they have preperated that shoulder and have it duct taped up all proper and what not DW will romp......just combine the classes run them like the big dogs and cut the crap next year.... ......
where the hells bogle
ACmx960 Bogle inured his wrist in December and is letting it heal up 100% before he races...
I wonder if rookies Bell- Martin -Hill will have as big an impact as the rookies on the west did - Nelson- Savatgy- Politelli?
lol lets try.. injured his wrist
Musquin and Wilson gonna fight for it if you ask me. In the end wilson will make more mistakes and Musquin will take it...
Hard to exactly tell but thats how I assume it^^
Darryn Durham!!
Durham just doesn't seem to have any mental ability to win a championship.
I doubt you will see Izzi just yet as he is just starting rehabbing his injury.
Amazing all the winners that don't read before they comment.......
