If this place has so much money then why don't they haul a shit ton of dirt in and make some elevation changes. Kind of like what Reed and other pros do in Florida.

Pala is far better. You convenietly left out Indiana which looks crazy good.

Watched qatar last year, ya, looked like a county fair race, but with only 5 people in the stands (all of which were wearing turbans).

Some argue tracks later in the series are better, and they somewhat are, but most of the tracks still looked like shit. I think some people confuse beautiful background scenery with the quality of the track in later rounds. And i am not even going to mention mexico, ooooffffaahh.

Tah duh! Winner winner chicken dinner.
It is what it is.
Chicken licks raceway to Hi-Point, get over it.
It's a race and everyone's on the same playing field.
Don't be a Vitard.
Sit back and be surprisingly surprised.
Or surprisingly disappointed.
It's a long row to hoe outside of our perfect, best series in the world, national caliber, TV worthy events.

Call me biased but the Utah tracks from the last two years are absolutely better than the Qatar track (which doesn't change, I might add).

Thomas C said he really liked it. Reminded him of the American tracks with a few more bumps. He's riding it so I guess he's the expert.

Exit 28 here in reno looks more "put together" than that shit hole... and since it smells like the rest of the Middle East there (like a musty nasty smelly ass crack) whats the draw for going there????

He left it out because it doesn't fit in with the "DC/MXSports is ruining motocross!" mantra.

Jamie, I like your idea of marking out a track in the dunes. The race only attracts a handful of spectators anyway, so theoretically, they can do it wherever they want to. Slap on the paddle tires and go to town!

Somebody actually walked away from building that track and thought they were done??????? Did anyone tell the track builder that the best motorcycle riders in the world are coming and they'd appreciate a small challenge? How are they going to separate the fast guys from faster guys? A mediocre racer could win that thing by getting a start and not making many mistakes. IMO.

i agree, it looks fun to me.

infact, it reminds me of the old Comp Park II track that was going to get the MXDN.

I'm pretty sure that is 59th and Douglas in Oklahoma City. The night track.

Good thing Trey Jorski is not there, or they'd all be in trouble.
