It rained pretty hood here for a half hour. It's started back up after a 20 minute break.

Radar shows a big one coming in three to four hours.

I like mudders just not at this track. Really bummed out. This track looks super fast and would want to see it in it's prime not a sloppy slower mudder where guys are just struggling to stay on 2 wheels.

If we had already seen a race at this track, I would be down for a mudder. But for the first race, I wanna see it in the best conditions possible.

Why in the hell would anyone want to see a mudder? Slower racing, not clearing big jumps, and you don't get to see the best from the best. Also looks like it would have been a great track that most of us have not seen before. I swear the people wanting a mud race are the same people that hope to see crashes and like monster trucks.

I dont mind a mudder, but MAN i wanted to see that track dry.. Gonna get deep as h*** with a new track like that, wonder how the bottom stuff is like I just heard on the pre-race thing on promotocross.com that they did a bunch of stuff to keep the track flood safe, guess it's in an area that usually floods? going to be interesting to say the least.

Freddy Norèn got the final 40'th time to the moto 1 gate, 3:28 something-laptime O_O holy smokes.. hello onelined

Milville has some base atleast im pretty sure this will be way worse if it pours like back then. that was mainly water standing on the track this will suck it all up.

The cream rises to the top no matter the conditions. I love seeing how these guys adapt to diversity as well seeing how the rain will factor into the C'ship.

Dungey has beaten Roczen handily in every moto since moto 1 in Budds Creak. He has clearly been better and was only down 7 points. The start is everything in a mud race. Roczen clearly had the better starts today. Who the riders are besides you off the start plays a part in the start. Since there were several no name 3 digit riders in the top 10 in timed practice, this clearly could have effected the start for RD.

It is what it is but anyone that has been watching these races knows that RD was the favorite to win the title before the rain came in today. Luck plays a part in a mud race.

Yea, that red plate that Roczen has held since Hangtown was definitely luck as well Pinch

Season didn't start at Budds Creek and it hasn't ended yet, but whoever wins the championship will have deserved it over all 24 of the motos, not just by doing well at certain ones

EDIT: Roczen also beat Dungey in moto 1 at Millville, after Budds Creek

I witnessed the RC mudder at Millvile, Crazy! I love the Dunge, but Roczen has been solid and deserves the Championship. Clearly handled RD early and saved himself today in the adverse conditions. That's a Championship ride. Would have rather had it been dry but that's MX and they all have to deal.

That's somewhat true but getting good starts is also part of good technique and focus on the day. Besides, start or no start Kenny just rode superior today. He completely embraced the conditions, stood up on the pegs and flowed round the race track like he didn't have a care in the world. He was the better rider by a mile today. Admittedly I want Ken to win this title but I'd give the same credit (and did last week) if it were Ryan. Tbh Ryan was the one that was arguably a little bit "lucky" in that first moto given his on / off and back on, first turn excursion. I want to watch the replay again but I think he may have done well to avoid more than a raised eyebrow from the race officials with that one.
