It wasn't simply Invasor and Berbardini (the better competition) that beat him in the BC last year. Brother Derek also defeated him easily, but when those two squared off in Cali, Lava Man was the clear winner. His speed figures also dip considerably when he ships.
I am not saying that he would be able to defeat the Invasors of the world if the races were run in SoCal, but he would certainly be more competitive. He never runs the same races outside of SoCal that he does IN SoCal. That is jut a fact.
Let's hope they never take him out of SoCal again. Whatever way you look at it, that was just an absolutely ridiculous decision.

Brother Derek is a Piece of sh_t,So beating him does not add any glory to Lava Man.In fact it demotes him even more in my book.
But I agree with you,Let's keep him in SoCal,where the competition is easy for him.But it will be interesting to see how he recovers from this trouncing.
