Is it time to have more SX races outside of stadiums?

Anderson has made many passes after a bad start. It can be done no doubt

That's not really fair, he's passing guys he typically has a half second+ or so on per lap.

Think outside the box (or in this case stadium)!

Motocross with more/lots of jumps?

Super, that starts in the summer.

Now back to Supercross- the sport that takes place on small tracks inside stadiums with bums on seats. Why change?

Wrong. Motocross tracks take up multiple acres, and anyone with half a brain knows real motocross includes elevation changes. That said, hybrid tracks with a Daytona type layout that is longer than your normal SX are a welcome addition in my opinion.

Change because the passing/racing is not so great this year. If the true goal is to grow the sport, you have to have some passing. Follow the leader doesn't sell.

There’s a down vote trend to your comments.

Let it go, you’re wrong. The sport is great.

I'm not wrong, it's a matter of opinion. Hybrid tracks could create a safer race track AND better racing.

This is my opinion, but I stand behind it, I feel l Iike more guys get hurt training for and racing sx. Dont get me wrong mx has many casualties as well but if I was a betting man and you looked at injuries in sx vs mx i would bet good money sx takes a bigger toll on the field (percentage wise, since mx does have the possibilty for more riders to try and qualify).
