I highly doubt MXsports was singling them out and making things unfair on them unless you're an octopus conspiracist.
It’s my opinion both parties could have worked harder but it didn’t happen and that’s business and l hope Pala has a great National Race. Can’t cry over spilt milk. Nobody is forcing anyone to come to Glen Helen on that day they come if they want to.
It’s sad to blame Glen Helen ahead of time if the crowd does not show up because of issues PALA had in the past. That’s a lack of confidence in what they are trying to do. It’s the people’s choice. I suggest anyone and everyone go support the National Riders they have earned it.
How about a large part of the Industry can’t attend because dealerships are open on Saturday. That a lot of people work on Saturday they can’t attend. It’s not fair but that’s life right?

No.
You should probably stay out of these threads. You really don't help your employer with comments like this one.
You lived here you could ride GH
any given weekend or Thursday. National in person is once a year. I thought you were CORE.
Props to Glen Helen for having this, I'll gladly pay more than the $10 donation to support the mentioned charity if I do make it up there and don't have to work. The Saturday that Pala happens to also be hosting the National isn't a sacred date, and other local tracks can still do things. I'd say even starting this thread calling them petty is more petty than anything Glen Helen is doing.
My opinion is that the sport’s too small to start raining on each other’s parade, and that it’s ill-timed. That’s all.
If the number one goal of the organiser was to raise as much money as possible for charity, then they have errored in choosing that day, a day in which all of the industry and moto medias eyes will be on Pala. Or throw it on the day of the opening national, or the finale national, basically any other day where you're not splitting your target audience.
Its a blatant middle finger to Mx Sports and the national itself. If they want to stay open then go ahead and do it, if they want to raise money for a charity, thats even better. But the way they've done it is short sighted and arrogant.
Alotta hate for Pala this year. I plan on going. I’ll beat traffic by taking my streetbike.
They need Flaggers. Email foxnationalflagging@gmail.com
If you’re interested. They need some more ppl to help out, sent me a second email today.
With Mr Info admitting that,"a large part of the Industry can’t attend because dealerships are open on Saturday. That a lot of people work on Saturday they can’t attend." it does make Glen Helen scheduling this event on the Saturday look kind of petty.

Pala Casino will still be open, should the Pala Indians close the Casino to support the race?
I bet Milestone will be open. And Cahuilla as well but Glen Helen is the bad guy.
Many of you are already buying it with this "Hell yeah, screw the national I´m going for a free practice day".
So less attendees at the Pala national, less income and just overall less interest. Feels like GH is doing this so that the Pala national looks bad so GH has more leverage in the discussions in the future.
Might not actually be like this, but it sure as hell looks like it.
Thank you in advance for my first thumbs downs. But atleast you took them out of your mouth for once.
You all out there are spoiled. We haven't had a national anywhere near here for decades now. I will definitely be at WW no matter what else is going on.
Personally, I do feel this is Bud trying to give DC & MX Sports a giant middle-finger, so I hereby award him...
To hell with a 125 cc National Championship series that will help build the sport, there's no time in the TV schedule. Do you realize how much the TV crew costs? They do have to take smoke breaks and lunch.
