We dont have any high up traks in england that affect the bike like that.
Sorry quoted the wrong post.
15% loss, give or take a few % points.
When I moved here from Oklahoma my 125 felt like an 80 but after I re-jetted it felt like a fast 80.

I'm ten minutes from the track, rain off and on all day today but nothing too crazy.

How do you guys think its gonna play out with rain?
Since you barely have mud races I dont really know how all the riders do in rainy conditions (last time was probably southwick but its not the same with the sand there)
I just know that Roczen (mxon 11) and Musquin are fast in the mud - maybe also CP

Guess the uphill start would be the only part that would come into play.
The track is built on the side of the Mountain Range so it would take an awful lot of rain to play into the race...
Couple years back ( or was that last year?) it poured hard for about 30 min. between moto's and when the gate dropped for the 2nd moto the track was perfect

Chance of rain has increased and weather.com shows 100% humidity at 7 AM....90% by 9, goes down most of the day but never below 67%. Definitely not normal Colorado weather...but the last 3 days have been abnormal too.

I'd say theres a good chance we're gonna get wet.

If anything it's going to get extremely rutted up. Bring it on! This is the f'ing great outdoors!

I hope is gets rough as hell. The first few rounds at Lakewood before the night race were gnarly rough. It hasn't quite been the same since.

Totally foggy out my way. Still 30% chance of precip from noon on. Now 0% before that. Very abnormal.

Can you stoners send some rain down south? This 110 degree heat is KILLING me.

Then again, night riding here is BADASS!

I am sitting at the top of the track. Weather is great, the dirt looks primo, practice was sweet, and I have an all day pit pass.
