You meant to say mini supercross.. and by the way mini supercross has a ton of potential to be highly successful under the right management.

Should have never killed the ama one. I watched one in person and enjoyed it live more then sx. Super easy to watch the whole race from any seat and you get to walk the track. Although the racing was a step below sx for a obvious reason it’s still a better live event to me

I guess I missed the obvious every Arenacross race I've been to has tons of bar-banging, intensity, and action. Just sayin..

Indeed, make the upcoming kids like Deegan race a full season, between those vets... Or create a "Lites Class" with two or so regions and a shoot-out. So they need to race 6 races and we can dump that SX Future shizzle.

Never been to an Arenacross event. I may head to Lufkin, Tx early Dec. and watch what I think is called Southeast Arenacross series. I’d guess it to be independent and not AMA. Probably still good racing.

They tried doing road to Supercross through Arenacross. Futures is a 10x better representation of what the kids will actually deal with.

Grant Langston and Buddy Antunez were calling the race. So cool to see Langston back!! They did a good job.

I'm glad to see the track design is more difficult like the Amsoil Arenacross series was. The whoops at round 1 were massive!

Peters is on another level. But there were some good battles in the pack. I'm a fan.

He was on another level but didn’t win a main until there was a penalty?

Peter’s won the first main. He was battling for the lead in the second. There is no doubt that Kyle is on a different level. Josiah might just be at that level also….Tune in and watch the Albany event live next Friday to see it first hand.

Nice work for a first race. It'll only get better from here and the opening round product was very promising. (From a big AX fan at home watching...)

Over 35 pros hasn't been seen in awhile.

Live coverage was sweet.

The track created separation between the fast guys and the not as fast guys and was fun to watch.

There were real "names" there.

I was worried about the amount of racing with only 1 pro class, but because the rider count worked, the number of heats/semis/LCQ plus two mains made it work.

The timing/show flow/race lengths seemed really good.

There still is a big gap between the experience of the top guys versus the last place guys so it creates a lot of lapped traffic (normal for AX to have quite a bit anyways, but magnifies it). I wonder if a couple less guys in the main might have to happen at least until the series grows to have the last place guys even faster. (This is not a knock on the last place guy, they just aren't on the level of a podium contender in SX yet.)

The broadcast was flawless and while GL and Budman were both a bit rusty and not familiar with the names yet, it'll get better and was passable already. Live AX on Friday nights is sweet. Even come January, live AX on Friday, SX on Saturday... count me in!

The challenge will be to keep the depth of talent each week and find someone who can make things somewhat interesting with Peters for the title. But if this keeps up, I can already tell it'll grow into year 2.

Clark, Natzke, Yoder, Linville, Braswell in the mix sure made it exciting, let's how they decide to at least stay with it until east SX starts.

There’s another arenacross series going on that is good, and has some fast guys in it.
