Not only that but still a chance at $30k still up for grabs at the events. Whether he's had some bad luck or not he's still a threat to win anywhere

Kwd if he would of dropped off the tour while leading points that would be a valid arguement, but we know he wouldnt have he would of finished the tour to try and win it..so the tired equipment (which im sure it is), is not a good excuse. He started out hot, but sputtered down the stretch and lost the point lead, so he packed it in. I just call it like I see it...

Drop off the tour when you know you're not going to win it. 😭😭😭😭

Someone sent me a pm yesterday saying he's running last year's rocket and has a new one with 7-8 races on it.

That be true.
And like someone else stated, with I 80 and the PDC coming up (2 races he fairs very well at), he needs to go over his equipment. He's had a lot of parts failures. Maintenance program is essential if you think yer gonna compete with the top tier competitors.

Balls versus Brains. The former do it for glory and bragging rights, the latter do it to get paid and make a living. The Balls crowd die broke, the brains guy take inventory, survey the field of battle and fight when the odds of winning are in their favor. Babb is seasoned enough to know what makes sense for his team and how much it costs him to run per event. The diesel fuel alone is cost prohibitive and racing 5 times for a possible 25K isn't a good trade, especially if you know what the state of your equipment will be going into the season of money. I respect him for making the smart play.

People forget that Babb did the exact same thing last year. He loves I-80, has been a contender the last two years. In his eyes he’s out of the points title (55 points is a lot to make up in 5 days) and this is what’s best to do.

Good Call
As highside, tacky and husker said, Shannon did this same thing last year. Loves I80, runs good there and of course there's the PDC. And yeah, there's a very fresh XR1 at the shop.
Great run in the Summernats, terrible luck rocked the last 7 nights. Time to move forward....good decision for their team.
Go 18!!

That's what so crazy about the summer nationals. It wasn't just around ten days ago Babb had it won or at least it was looking that way and then the bad luck settled in and now the last week the team is off the tour. The money is just not there to keep the guys on the tour to run for points. I'm not sure what second pays but, apparently not enough for Babb to stay on the entire tour. It's always nice to see the points battle come down to the last weekend of the tour so it looks like that will have to it another year.

On a $5k night second pays $2500 and on a $10k night it pays $5k for second. Winning the points pays $25k. Second place in the points pays $10k. Each week "series" pays an extra $2k.
