Lap times in the 1:30's (assuming its DRY) means they run out of tv time. So, drop the lap times by taking out the jumps. Gay.

Speed runs a 6 hour block of supercross (3 hours live + 3 hours repeat) so how can TV restrictions have anything to do with it? you could run 5 min laptimes and still have time to air it in 6 hours.
Live satellite time and camera crews in overtime costs big $$$$$$$$$'s. They want it kept near 3 hours.

I'm glad. With Dungey out this race, we needed something to keep the series interesting. Hopefully this shakes things up a bit today and let's a sleeper challenge RV. Maybe a Windham win. He loves the mud!

and I'm pretty sure there is a NASCAR race scheduled for after the supercross, so that could be part of it too.

I agree Bobby, instead of a bunch of rutted out one lined jumps that they have to roll and are crap maybe they can have a better shot at racing each other.
Bobby & Mike make valid points, this should actually help the RACING with these conditions.

Or do you guys think DIR have control over the skies?

Also remember, we have Mark The Bomber Barnett taking care of the track, and surely if anyone knows what they are doing, it is him!

I don't expect to see him in many JGR commercials after this.... All kidding aside I hope things go well for everyone tonight.

I wonder if Ricky Ryan is in the crowd, maybe he could suit up for the race?

the way they sell the rights is right to broadcast the event, same way the NFL would do it...if it goes into OT the NFL (or in this case SX) doesn't care.
