You mean the contract that started this year? After two years of building the facility?

Yes. I'm not sure how long they sign for when a new track opens. Hoping they're on the schedule for a few years!

Would be cool if Utah was right before/after Lakewoood. That would be a nice two national road trip. Have them adjust it for me GuyB and will promise to actually pay for pit passes this year.

It would be nice to see the schedule more "privateer friendly"- we might actually see some better racing with more riders actually able to run the series.

Glad to see them switching things up some. Don't always agree on the routing but its not my series. I am sure MX Sports has a good reason why and thats there matter and none of mine. Glad to see Hangtown 1st next year.

I guess you are right but it's about 5 miles from Virginia. We are talking FL, AL, or even GA. or at least I am. Deep in the south.

Wish the season started 2 weeks earlier Glen Helen is normally decent weather first of May.

As far as the driving goes, the people who really make the series have professional truck drivers and budget for time and fuel.

The rest well it's a bummer but nobody is forcing them to do every race.

Just brutal for travel after Millville, looks like MXSports is definitely trying to kill the privateers even more and put more strain on the semi factory teams.

How stupid is it to go from Minnesota to Washington than clear to New York and than back to Utah than all the way back to Indiana

Why not Minnesota New York Indiana Utah Washington, oh wait that makes to much sense.

This series is headed the way of the GP's and that is not a good thing.

How stupid is it for you to comment on something you have no idea about ?

There is more involved than just worrying about travel, many venues can only hold races during certain times and then there is other contractual obligations to be considered.

For one , I have more idea than you think.

I know how mxsports operates and it is a dictatorship, so they can pretty much tell a track their race date and they can take it ot leave it.

I also know that yes there are some other considerations that come into play.

And I also know first hand what it costs our team to travel and gas is the most expensive item.

I live half way up the ga/al line and it's over 6 hours for me. But better than the 11 hours to red bud.

You may be right about the expenses. And I too wonder about all the travel for you guys.
But to call it a dictatorship is absurd.
I guess by your logic that makes NASCAR, NFL, NBA and all sports run by a commissioner dictatorships?

It's actually just business. And that's just what MX Sports is, a for profit business.
You may not like the way DC does things, but at the end of the day he's the boss. Every business has to have a CEO.
And in my opinion, he's a very good one. He's taken MX to a new level and he cares about the sport.
Plus, he's willing to come on here and chat with all of us. Not many CEO's would ever do that.

You guys just don't understand.................DC and Co. have ordered specific weather at specific locations and the new schedule is set up around that. You need to see the big picture.

DC isn't much of a spa guy but he orders up at least one mud race per year and uses that as the moto version of a mud bath/exfoliation.

The mud provides minerals and getting powerwashed by one of the mechanics after the race provides exfoliation.

This. Kind of hard on the privateers. That's a lot of extra gas.
