Track is the same as last week. I did see them bring in some additional material. They also pushed all the muck that they'd pushed off to the side back onto the track, and sealed it before it rained on Thursday night.

From what I've seen on internet from the weather forecast it looks like it could be a mudder again? Anyway, excited for some good racing again!

Well that is to bad they did not change up the track, was hoping they would make some changes to throw some curves at the pros.

Have they at least added additional camera's for the viewing pleasure of the audience? It appeared that they had very few multi-angles to catch the passing, dicing, racing, etc....

I am super happy after what we are going through at the moment to just to have another race to watch. Even if they had only one camera to view it.

something about the soil at Lorettas.... even the same track, won't be the same track... especially if Mother Nature has anything to say about it..

All i know is that I'm ready for some more outdoor moto! I can't wait to see how things shake out tomorrow. Will the track be more favorable for Eli? Will Zach repeat? Can anyone stop Ferrandis? Will Bam Bam rip a holey and checkout in one of the moto's ala El Hombre? Will Adam keep the rubber side down and will Chase progress? It should be great!

I kind of liked last week's race quite a bit. Super rough , technical , little lower top speeds. Wouldn't mind at all watching another round in those conditions.

Yeah! Also, will they be delivering free concessions to me on my couch as I watch it? I got hungry last week and nobody at MXsports did squat about it!

It actually wouldn't be a terrible round to have in the mix. Having a pro national there every year right after the am national would be kind of cool.

83 degrees + moisture. I’m sweating just thinking about it!

Not sarcasm, it's going to be humid and muggy as hell.

Heaps of intrigue and questions in the 450 class. Been a while since there were so many with the pace. Hope it isn’t an outright mudder.

Nah, I drove threw Tn. Last week going to Birmingham. Where I went for a run and did push ups outside. It,s not that muggy and was only 91. S.Iowa radio talked about smoke from the Cal. Fires entering. Hope that smoke does not make it on race day.

Did it rain the day before though? The midwest is humid as is, let alone on a hot day when it has rained shortly beforehand.

Hurricane Mills was 98% humidity today. To say that is not muggy is just a straight up falsity. If it rains the day before and is 80+ degrees, it will be muggy. It will feel like a damn sauna. You should know this being from Wisconsin and all.

I mean, I guess it's technically Southeast but it's a bordering state and Hurricane Mills is in the near the top of the state. Take the midwest term out of it, I was wrong to lump it in even though it's still right there.

But to say TN doesn't get humid and muggy its not true at all. Lorettas is always hot and humid, regardless. If it rains and gets hot shortly after, it will be especially humid. This shouldn't be a controversial take.
