This is MX not SX. Ridiculous. There are tons of tracks around the country that are more worthy of a National than this track.

It is true. This shouldn't be a National Track. Not like it is.

Although this is by far my least favorite track on the circuit, its lights years better than last year. FL needs a national period.

To be fair, minus the lappers, the racing has been good so far but yeah, overall I agree. The track is too fast and (by far the biggest problem) too flat. Saw this posted on MXA earlier in the week....



Darryn having grown up on Steel City soil reminisces on all the good times spent as they are just memories now. Steel City, near Delmont, Pennsylvania, is now closed and the track has been grown over.

Not saying the race has to be there ^^^ but wherever it is, tracks are always better off with elevation.

Unless the race would be back at Gatorback, a Florida national would look exactly like Utah. Flat ground with dirt piled up on it.

except if they ran a track into the bottom of a hill/mountain ! there could be sick tracks in Utah if they did that

all the elevation available in the U.S and GH is the only National track i see using it, weird.

Indiana, Millville, Unadilla, etc. plenty of tracks with elevation. Glen Helen takes it up a notch.

I love elevations. LOVE IT. If I were to place a national in FL, its sand track. A legit FL sand track.

Doesn't America have any sand tracks? Millville isn't a sand track…..

I wish they would bring back something like the south wick round,

I loved Kenwortheys. IMO the track was really unique, no other national was like it. Also didn't hurt it was only an hour away.

Used to love watching it. Those hills were gnarly!

Really tho, was it that supercross? The rhythm after that downhill and the return whoops. Then the rest was hills and what not wasn't?
