I heard the Vital trailer is tucked away north of Chicago, while I remind the guys at the office I'm still alive. Wink

Feld? Yes, they're in FL now. But they were West-ish of Chicago. There's someone in this thread who knows where it's at. (Thanks, Dave!)

Either way, it will be out soon.
Still got over 5 months until A1, so a few days or weeks isn’t going to matter.
The delays make me wonder if there is going to be one or more significant changes for 2019.

You have to remember who is behind the des nations. The attendance numbers they will quote will be massively inflated, ticket prices twice what a national costs (check) and you won’t be able to bring in your own beer. It’s gonna be a different red bud for sure

Let's hope not! Might be a deal breaker. And lets hope they don't screw up the track too bad.

1. The Supercross schedule should be released tomorrow. 2 new venues and the return of a regular one.

2. Red Bud is expecting a massive crowd for the MXoN. They are making changes to the venue to accommodate it.

3. The start will not be the same as it was this weekend. It will be moved to where the pits are currently and will be a straight start into the second turn that is currently there. Then the mechanics and VIP pavilion will be built alongside that.

4. The MXoN team will be announced at Unadilla in a few weeks, but I’m pretty sure we all know who is going to be on it. The AMA talked to several riders about it this weekend and all of them said they would be happy to be a part of it.

5. Puerto Rico might have a hell of a surprise rider on their team.

6. Two Arenacross series will most likely happen with a possible third as well. I don’t know if there is enough riders to support them all, but one of the series’ promoters was in the house at Red Bud and talking and trying to recruit riders and teams.

7. Hoosier tires are doing well and looking into different tread patterns and sizes.

8. The new Phoenix racing team recently acquired the old JGR test facility and is planning on going big in 2019. They also bought the Babbitts semi which was Reed’s Two-Two rig before that.

9. The Lake County Fair motocross in Chicago is making a comeback on July 25th and 26th and several privateer riders are committed to going. It's a 2 day event with a $5000 pro purse. Takes place a few days after Millville.

10. The lift gate on Cycle Trader Rock River Yamaha's semi broke off on Saturday and the rig is still in the pits and awaiting someone to fix the gate.

11. New Fly gear being released July 31 and new Fox gear being released Aug 1. Look for the Fly stuff to debut at Washougal.


Where can I get more info on the Fair Race?

What's the scoop on this? I hadn't heard anything about it , and was curious what it's all about. Does this team have factory backing? Or does anyone know what brand they tend to plan on racing with?

Duane (Brown) told me they have factory Honda backing and some of the old Ti-lube guys just that Ti-lube pulled out after AX.

I wonder if that has upset the Motoconcepts team? ...if indeed it is true
I 'm sure this doesnt affect them. Braytons stuff is as factory as anybody.
