When I live there (96-99), the Moto scene was small but very dedicated. But, i am willing to bet that a large portion of the surf community wold show up too. It would be pretty awesome to see a national there IMO.
Sure we all love Red Bud, Millville, Unadilla etc. for what they are and the history that they have, but to most of the viewing audience that doesn't matter, they just want to see exciting dirtbike racing.
Or maybe a one off, big money race at the end of the year?

It sounds cool, but no way it would work on Oahu. It is a great place to ride and hold local races, but a national would not work here. Oahu is where the Kahuku track is.

Everyone will be called "haolie" repeatedly, 3 factory bikes will be stolen, the 30second board girl will be abducted at northshore after dark, no one will show up, but there will be spam & eggs for the dozen who do.
I really wish we would strike Hawaii from the union, sew up a flag with 49 stars, and call it a day. WWII is over, we no longer need to fuel up airplanes and ships to shit on Japan with. F that place.
You can call me an asshole, but you can't call me wrong.
But back to the original topic...there would be no way a national could be held at Kahuku. The road is straight up a hill and I remember some mornings where it was just an event to make it up the hill! Almost slid off the side and down the cliff to the left! Water and that slick hawaiian clay made it like ice! No parking at all for anyone but the riders though.
It was so cool when it was SX time at Aloha stadium though, cuz all the pros would come up to Kahuku the week before and practice. Everyone would stop and watch RJ, Ward, Manley, Cooper railing around our track!
And yes, there was a car track, Hawaii Motorsports Park. They used to do Skip Barber and shifter cart rentals there.

I really don't see a national in Hawaii's future, unless Hawaii moves somewhere near Atlanta by next summer or '13.

it would cost an astronomical amount of money as well.
