Any idea what we can expect for the fan experience at Arlington; round 10, 11, & 12? From what I have read, the pit area will be extremely limited in terms of interaction. I heard that team have kept their rigs basically closed, not the typical open style allowing fans to come take a look. Maybe warmer weather might encourage a different experience that what has been the case at previous rounds. I was told fans will be allowed in to watch practice and there will be a PulpMX / Fly Racing pit show between practice and the race.

Anyone have feedback or other info?

In Indy there were no pits. I didn’t mind because I just love watching the racing. No complaints, honestly didn’t feel much different than a normal SX.

In Houston, the teams had basically the winter set up where you really could not see anything, then in addition to that there were blue chains all the way down the pit lane keeping you 6 feet from the tent.
Don't expect much of an experience and definitely no autographs or pictures with riders. You should be able to watch qualifying.
The mask nazi's are everywhere. Hopefully things will return to normal next year

Went to H1, and will be going to Arlington 1 also. It was basically what MX Warrior Dad said above. You can still see some stuff through the rig enclosures of the big teams, and some of the privateer teams are pretty open. But yes you'll still be distanced by the blue chains. You will probably be able to snag some pre-signed posters from some rigs that they place on podiums as well since there wont be any formal autograph sessions. Its still worth it to go, its better than nothing. Grab a free Monster and watch whatever show they have going on, then go in to watch Qualifying.
