How nice would that be...
Washougal can be dangerous. Another racer died there recently, and there have been a rash of serious injuries.
I agree with those who say the track is too slick and too narrow, but that's just a matter of personal taste, I suppose. The real issue is that it sucks for spectating. Maybe some other tracks are just as bad or worse? I don't know. The only other tracks I've been to on the present schedule are GH and Hangtown, and both are MUCH better than Washougal for watching.
I def won't go if it is an artificial course in an car track infield...would have to be King's Ranch (Kevin Kelly), or better!
If they build one, it will be more than worthy!
Bottom line for the SE...build it, bring it and the fans will come.
As often is mentioned ATL SX sells out every year and is one of the top attended SX's on the schedule.
We're up to like 17 Supercrosses and still just 12 Nationals, that number should be balanced out a bit closer again.
Why not make a schedule that each year rotates in either a totally new track in a new region and/or brings back an oldie?
For example you could have a new track in the Southeast one year (example NC or FLA, etc) and the next year bring back a place like Kentworthy's, Broome or Gatorback, etc.
You could basically have one or two "floaters" each year in addition the the current core schedule. If need be-- to make this happen, perhaps each track might have to take an off year every 8-10 years, but not be totally eliminated off the schedule for good.
This might help breed some new competition for the rights to a host a national at a new venue, and might help encourage existing tracks to keep their venue in desirable shape (for fear of losing their spot to a new track in the region.
I liken it to the current NFL schedule where it is fun to see your hometown team get a game against a team that they havent played in a few years or the MLB inter-league schedule. It makes it fun to see the new schedule every year.
However-- I'm sure logistics, beauracracy and money would shoot this idea down quick, but it is fun to think about!
As for the rotating schedule, I have proposed the same idea and the problem is no one is going to put the money into the infrastructure of their facility if they're only going to have maybe two races every 5-6 years
Track quality would actually go down, not up.
I have often wondered, why not run Nationals like SX, meaning using facilities not normally used for MX...why use local tracks?
Why not scout out open pieces of land in various areas across the US, rent it for a week, bring in dirt wurx and build a temp outdoor national track and then move on. No more advantages from racing the same over years and creates a rotation. Down side is no permanent facilities, but there are trailers that make nice facilities.
Imagine finding a nice piece of land on the side of some rolling hill and roping out a track, digging a few holes and making a few jumps! Old school, baby
It'll never happen, but would be cool as shit
I would drop Southwick and then Washougal.
Pit Row
There needs to be a true hardpack, blue groove track, a true sand track with deep, deep sand, etc, etc.
Everyone talks about how some riders specialized in certain tracks back in the day (IE-Garret Wolsink @ Saddleback), and how exciting that was. That would have the potential to increase the overall number of winners in each class, and mix up the championship points race more.
I think it's more a question of what MX Sports will do with MX, not DMG. If you look at roadracing in the US, it seems the DMG is viewed as an entity worse than AMA Pro racing. In MX, we have it really, really good with MX Sports.
Someone change that for me please, thank you.
