One line. Usable racing area looks about 5 feet wide in lots of places.

Big difference from last weeks awesome track.

I must say, it’s a bit embarrassing.

Of all the great tracks the USA has, we get this POS to decide one of the best championships ever. Garbage.

Most of the track is not being used. What gives? Is it too wet?

You mean tracks built on flat ground (with actual elevation nearby) suck?

50th Anniversary of the Great Outdoors (now with all the features of indoor tracks).Laughing

The PINNACLE of the sport!!!

What a joke...

It's a shame to have even a single race at Pala.

An outright crime that there are two races there.

No. The circuit has a lot of good tracks. Only two I think could go away and we happen to race one of those twice.

I just hope the racing between Eli and Chase is good. One of the greatest outdoor seasons ever to end with such a trash track is quite a bummer.

Again it's a joke this shit hole is on the series once let alone twice. Mx sports has outdone themselves this year for sure.

...that also want a national. Didn't WW Ranch choose to give it up? Did Muddy Creek also give it up, or were they dropped? It definitely needed some work to be more pro friendly.

Track does look really crappy and single lined .

Don't understand why MX Sports goes back to Pala at end of season when it's a hot and very dry location at end of August. It definitely takes away form the visual aspect of the sport which is important in my opinion and certainly doesn't do anything for the sport. After watching racing on 10 other excellent tracks it really makes Pala look bad.

Spring Creek should be the last race with the changing leaves colors like the late race in 20

Spring Creek is awesome in September and October , especially when there is some color and leaves on the ground.

I think it’s unique and needs to be on the schedule, just not twice. It’s a typical So Cal track. Just like Southwick is a East Coast track.

I’m sure back in the day EVERYONE just loved to hit the slipperier than snot, hard pack, blue groove of Carlsbad.

There is grass and trees on the east coast tracks, which make it look more scenic / appealing. Pala looks like its in the middle of a desert. So does Glen Helen compared to the others - But is the actual track that they are riding on that much worse?

It’s not about the aesthetics or the fact that it’s Pala so much.

It’s about the raceability of the track today. Jett said it’s one lined. James Stewart said that too. It’s an important day with a title on the line.

I think they’ve both rode Pala and know what they are talking about.

Most people haven’t rode most the tracks the nationals are held on and it doesn’t make a difference. Pala is a baron waste land eye sore.

What an embarrassing track. Closest championship in history and, DC, this is what you guys provide the athletes to race on? There is absolutely zero excuse to have such an inadequate track that could very easily decide this championship given one of title contenders gets even a remotely bad start.
