For crying out loud, the sign over the bathrooms at Budd's Creek uses the "R". At least it did the last time I was there for the MXoN.

So I guess even core motoheads make the mistake.

Still doesn't make it acceptable.

I thought it was motorcross. I honestly never even examined the word long enough to notice that it was any different.
Now it's gonna be a problem.

I didn't mean to quote this I just don't know how to unquote it, sorry J.

The Vital board will forever go down in history as the the catalyst that changed "motocross'" to motorcross". Heard it right here, right now, first.

Motocross is a French term... maybe we should change it to 'Motorcross'
From Wiki:
Originally known as scrambles racing in the United Kingdom, as the sport grew in popularity, the competitions became known internationally as motocross racing, by combining the French word for motorcycle, motocyclette, or moto for short, into a portmanteau with "cross country"
