The dirt is awful and groomed horrible. Just clumps everywhere and no lines. Looks just awful and sketchy to ride. Very disappointing.

Pourcel is s nut. I wish he could hold his pace for a while race.

Agreed though. This track never seemed appealing to me. But they all race the same track.

This is the last year for it on the national schedule. I think Southwick is back next year , and if that happens , that's great news!

I'd guess that if they haven't returned to Southwick in '16, it'll happen for sure in '17.

But...what if they actually need to replace two tracks?

Southwick would be awesome! Also, i don't know if i'm the only one but i liked Pala national too. 2011 Pala national track was amazing imo.

Anybody who says it's not a real MX track should go spin a couple laps out there.

Red Bud
Millville
Glen Helen
Unadilla
Lakewood
Budds Creek
Washougal


So??
High Point
Hangtown

Put Budds on the bottom...

High Point will be a fracking site soon enough.

I'd guess it's one of those two, but I could be wrong.

I can't imagine that Budds Creek will be off the circuit anytime soon...

Burn me at the stake but I find the Utah National to be one of the most unique tracks every year. That 2013 course was fucking gnarly

What was Muddy Creek's attendance like this year?

The series definitely needs a real sand track but in all honesty does southwick really satisfy that criteria anymore? You combine that with the parking/size of the facility which you hear constant gripes about... There has got to be somewhere else surely?

There are quite a few tracks in Texas that have some pretty deep sand from what I hear. Nice facilities too

Unfortunately it looks like the majority of tracks in SoCal if you ask me except for its killer location. I'm serious about the location being killer. Nice changing it up occasionally and keep in mind this is coming from someone who hates change.

As long as change or "different" is the exception not the rule I can live with it without whining.
