Wasn't really a mudder last year, even practice was dry. Just terrible dirt

I thought it was awesome. Soft dirt makes for a man’s track, like Oakland last year
Yeah it was great racing don’t get me wrong! I was a little bummed the races were shortened for no other reason than the dirt couldn’t hold up though!

Centurylink should have a retractable roof for being in Seattle.

I’ll be there, hiding out in the pits staying dry. Anyone know if they will be indoor or outdoor pits? I know in the past they’ve gone both ways.
Indoor.
They built a bunch of buildings where the outdoor pits were.

This SX mudder from Daytona was pretty cool. KW winning was surprising and sweet.

A mudder always throws a wrench into things. Seeing as how neither of the titles are way out of reach, could be really interesting!

Dirt Wurx knows what they're doing, though. Wasn't practically every west coast round last year tarped off due to rain on Friday/Saturday?

The mariners say no way to use using thier stadium fear it will ruin the grass or some bs like that.
Typically its because baseball has started. Move it back to feb like the old days might be a possibility

That same dumbshit probably drives a Prius as well...

Judging how things have been and what they have say with the forecast...I would count on it being very wet....Not going this time. Went from snow in the early morning to heavy rain in the morning to afternoon, then sunny the rest of the day.

I just don't find it exciting to watch the best dirt bike riders in the world roll every bump, hump, and jump with their ass on the seat and both feet off the pegs. I will watch an outdoor mud race, but it just looks stupid on a SX track.

I couldn’t disagree more. I love mud races.

Yes

Some are going to complain even when they did not have intentions on going.

I'll still watch. Never know what scenarios a mudder might produce. I agree that many seem to be about trying to just stay up and finish the race. But every now and then... surprise!

I'd probably still watch a mudder, but definitely not as interested. I'm talking real mudder, feet out fighting to just get around track. Boring...

A little wet and slick, I'm in.

I will certainly be watching, but I’m not driving 4 hours and spending 100s of dollars to freeze my ass off and get soaked. I went to 4 Nationals last year and been to 2 SX races this year. I think I can skip this one, LOL

My most memorable supercross races were midgets.

Searching for rain gear, watching racers, cheering on wrong guys, thinking someone’s in the lead but trying to watch! It’s a great time!

Nothing wrong with that! But dang, if you skip watching it on TV JUST because it's tough conditions I don't know what to say.

I always wondered why they don't use the Baseball park next door. The Baseball stadium has a retractable roof. I'm not driving 4 hours to sit in the rain and freeze again. Seems to be cold and wet almost every year for the Seattle SX. They should totally move it back in the schedule.

Baseball season just started. It takes too much time to bring dirt into the stadium and remove it. With roughly 152 games in a season, unfortunately that isn't possible.

Plus in my belief, every year baseball stadiums replace their grass for the new season. Putting wood and dirt on perfect grass probably isn't great for it.
Indy mxer wrote:
You're correct, except for one thing. Only half of the 162 games would be in that stadium. lol
I believe there is not truck access to the field to haul dirt in. They rarely do concerts at Safeco an MX race is probably out of the question to the ownership group. They baby that place.

That's an excellent question. It should be in the baseball stadium. Then again, I'm constantly amazed that they couldn't get an engineer to design a roof that could go back and forth between the two stadiums.

FWIW, my office looks down into the stadium and at the moment everything looks great. The forecast is not good though.

Why do you guys want it in the baseball stadium? Those stadiums have smaller floor spaces which means a tighter track. The bigger the better IMO
