Hangtown was awesome with plenty of passing due to whoops, ruts, off-cambers, limited grooming, and ruts. Additionally, the Double-Displacement supplemental rule in AMA Pro Racing needs abolished.

DC will have the track looking fine. That won't stop people from whining on here. This place is the National Enquirer of MX.
I hated seeing Seely's injuries, I love that guy, but that was a technical error was it not?
The fact that several champions made time during last weekend's post-race press conferences to plead for attention at that specific venue speaks volumes about the differences between what was going on at Glen Helen versus the much less significant Dean Wilson bunny hop type stuff.
I can appreciate that you're in a position to have to tread the line between being an advocate for the series and the riders' needs at the same time, but downplaying the situation as being nothing out of the ordinary or not warranting the concern that's being expressed here comes off as a bit disingenuous and therefore as part of the problem itself.
I will kindly disagree. I'm a 49 yr old vet rider and I have hit the triple step up and its really not that hard. I have never hit the Godzilla jump as they have never ran that section for the amateurs but hearing from the people that have hit both, its easier than the triple step up.
Imo, Ironman is about the perfect combination of jumps, sizes and shapes. Red bud and Millville being the others.
And Loroccos leap and Ironman triple step up absolutely DO affect the racing. Big difference in time if not hitting them.
My 16 yr old B rider has also hit the Ironman step up also. and there where numerous B riders and 45+ vet riders hitting it at the Regional last year.
Now the Fly 150 and the old Glen Helen 180 are just way too much.
I wasn't downplaying anything, nor trying to be disingenuous. I literally went straight to Glen Helen on Sunday morning after Hangtown to see what the riders were talking about. I have deep concerns with rider safety. The riders saw the Glen Helen jumps before I did and they expressed their concerns, and I am addressing them.

Yes there were risks, but not a huge amount.
I will give you credit though, after me bitching and whining for years for you to add 250 smokers into the Schoolboy 2 class, you finally made it happen. Unfortunately it came into effect the year we stopped riding the schoolboy class, lol
Not lets get 250 smokers legal in the 250 class.............yea, it really sounds that weird that 250s are not allowed in the 250 class. With modern 4 stroke 250s making over 55 hp, there is no reason why we cant have equal displacement racing.
To add, I have proven time and again on more than one dyno that the actual numbers always fall short of what's advertised in the magazines. Not that I really care, but the 55hp # made my eyes bug out.
Need to do a little research before you post. It's like that old saying about "removing all doubt" It might help you out in the future. There is plenty of info out there to help you learn what is capable these days in the 250 class. And I dont think they run a pro stock class.
Supercross has made this sport a meat grinder. Quad jumps and insanely fast rhythm sections have transformed this sport into a blood bath and it has found its way onto the outdoor tracks more and more over the years. Since SX occurs before the outdoor series it is directly responsible for the depletion of the field for the outdoors. The financial interest for the riders seems to be 95% supercross and 5% outdoors.
Racing is racing and it is all relative. Personally I would like a world were riders are not allowed to compete in both series. Never going to happen I know but if the mcf's cut SX salaries by 20% and moved that budget to a pro motocross series eventually there would be a rider interest to compete.
We don't need 5 riders making millions/yr with personal compounds, trainers, etc in the outdoors competing against the other 35 riders that don't. Those 5 should be SX only. That alone would make the racing better.
KTM's shop dyno as well...
Who ever's dyno your referencing is reading some fairly high numbers...
Aww..Come on..This is Mike Brown over the same section at a Worcs race a few years back. If slow, old off-road guys can do it so can the Elite motocrossers...
