I'll still watch and follow because I'm a MXer. But, just not the same.

I wouldn't say normal tracks suck, but they sure look tight, don't they?

I get it. Bring on the NASCAR venues. I’ll bet Charlotte would have a helluva crowd. Those folks LOVE racing. Period.

We would, and we do, lol. Its always a question every year of whether or not I want to take the 4 hour drive to ATL for the race. They could absolutely pack out the speedway or the dirt track here. Shit, run Straight Rhythm on the drag strip. Give us something, damnit!

Watching the first practice was rough after getting those last three Atlanta races. Keep them on the schedule.

The modern bikes have outgrown most of the stadiums. The more speedway tracks we get, the better.

No, in normal times, not enough seating. California Speedway in Fontana. I think Anaheim is still the best place for SX.

The long lap times at ATL helped avoid more if the lappers too.

Concur. SLC is a horrible venue with the same cookie cutter track that is practiced to death. SX has become like gymnastics.

Atlanta shook EVERYONE up. We need tracks that can't be duplicated and practiced for.

Surprisingly, the racing was pretty good last night for the track we got.

The Drag Strip(which really means the mid-field between turns1/8A-9) at Sonoma, Laguna Seca's Front Straight, Stanford Stadium (Huge Floor like Glendale)...and I'm sure we could come up with a couple more possibilities...?

Drag strip in Vegas is 4 lanes wide as is Charlotte. Would be better for spectating than Atlanta or Daytona

I do like tracks like Atlanta, but what do you do for races like Arlington that can have some miserable weather the time of year it's run?

Honestly, Atlanta got lucky. It easily could have been a muddy mess the whole time.

The MXGP track was great.

Especially seeing Webb in moto 2, and Eli running away with ease.

2022 please have an MXGP in the USA

Agreed. TOTALLY loved the Atlanta track. Who knows, if FELD saved a ton of money on that venue, we could see a shift.
Not all venues, but a few more like Atlanta would be great!

I concur sir. When the crowds open up I suspect Feld is more profitable by using these tracks with 40 thousand people on hand.

If it wasn’t for macado there wouldn’t be a single highlight from Atlanta. The racing in the 250 class was about as boring as it gets. The 450 class has been great all year regardless of the venue
