so i was looking at the track map for the Charlotte Gp, and it honestly resembles the early supercross races.
Think about it, instead of making a "supercross" track in a stadium, put a motocross track in a stadium.
this fixes many issues with supercross
1, it gets rid of the cookie cutter tracks, thereby eliminating the high difficulty of SX tracks, not to make things "easier" but a sx track requires a different skill set that a majority of riders never develop.
2. the track is bigger and faster which are two aspects we all love about outdoors.
3. again getting rid of cookie cutter tracks mean more freedom in track design, which also makes riders stay sharper. Just like in factories, injuries tend to be a result of monotony which makes guy complacent or encourages taking greater risks. so this would help breed a safer environment.
4. There wouldnt be a loss of spectators as places like Charlotte Speedway have lots of seating,
5 the current night program needs to be revamped. going to a two moto system stays inline with 90% of all moto racing,
6. having a more natural track design would create a track that would be feasible to developing a 125 pro am class. this would be a third class and replace the regional 250's while bumping up the current 250 class to a full national series

Why would the tracks suddenly get bigger when the stadiums are the same?
Let's see if they sell all those before we proclaim them the second coming of mike Godwin.

That's the whole point. The tracks have always just been, even after years of development, somewhat compromised to make that happen. That is the tradeoff for being able to promote a mx race in the style of a rock concert. It is MX built specifically around the promoter's facility and television needs, rather than the track.
Other than Dungey running away and clinching the series early,it was a good season of racing.
So I don't see Feld doing away with SX as it is.
But now they are getting about as close as they can to the Supercross model without holding a Supercross race.
Did you watch Assen MXGP last year? That was a MX track if I've ever seen one. Reminded me of Lommel from the sand and lack of elevation.
