My memory was AP doing a step on, step off that few others were able to do. I talked to him in the pits before the race and he was so relaxed and friendly. It was a great night but freaking cold!
Hopefully they can get a refund somehow. I always bought my tickets at the box office the night of the race, it's also cheaper.
I feel for the mechanics, gonna be a long day
Def no refunds for weather.

I’d say cancel it. Nothing like ruining a bunch of bikes riding around in soupy mud. Top pro riders riding around a track with both feet off isn’t very entertaining. Let’s hope it doesn’t ruin someone’s championship hopes due to a mechanical.
Even if the track is a slop fest, it will be the same for everyone and there will be a good opportunity for a upset win.
Remember Dowd and I think it was Henry back in the day? As privateers they both got their first win in the slop.
With the dirt looking like this and a lot more rain coming. How the hell can they even attempt to make a track? If they try to race the riders should refuse to race it. A dnf would would ruin the season for alot of guys. It is seriously idiotic to try and pull off a race. Feld needs to take their losses and try to do another Anaheim or just call it a wash.
San Diego a couple years ago.
I hear you but it also may ruin someone's championship by cancelling the event.
Edit - I'm being selfish. Really don't want to wait another week for San Diego.
Surely they have to bring in more dirt for an SX track than the Monster Jam left on the floor? Maybe they have some dry stuff stashed

Nope it's in the back parking lot by the old bleachers...uncovered
1978 Pittsburgh SX was pretty muddy. It took a week to clean up and remove the dirt. City was not happy about that. Oakland will probably cost a-lot more money to clean up than the parking revenue.
Back to 78,3Hannah was leading the race at Three Rivers Stadium until he crashed. Came from way back to second and crashed again. He pulled it out with a lap or 2 left. To edge out Marty Tripes. My brother and me got to hang out with Tommy Croft and Danny Laporte on the TWA flight back to LAX. A young and up and coming guy named Mark Barnett did a double that no one else tried that night. Rich Eierstedt had a big crash on his Can am. And Scott boots were the rage back then.
Winning a championship is about body and machine. Knowing how to make your bike last in a mud race is part of the game. Watching guys paddle around in mud is better than watching nothing. Line them up. MX and SX is rain or shine.

we may be in the Seville Spain mudder territory
Any other good follows for track building updates?
For 5 dollars what is a dam?
I'm not sure there's been a Supercross race as bad as Daytona 2008, but San Diego 2019 was a slopfest, and a lot of dudes and their bikes had the lye burns to back it up. Before that, Oakland 2018 when Anderson won for the first time was pretty sloppy, too.
Follow Dirt Wurx on Instagram. They have started the Oakland build.

I was at SD 2019 and Oakland will be far worse. No lime though...
"Motocross races are held in all kinds of weather"
Can’t believe i’m reading grown adults saying to cancel the race because it’s too much work for the mechanics and will ruin the bikes.
We know they can’t use lime so the bikes will be fine - it’s motocross! I’d much rather watch whatever Dirt Wurx can come up with than them cancel it altogether.
Level playing field, same conditions for all, and the better mud riders who can keep off the clutch and not over ride the bike will have a better chance of doing well. Praying this race goes ahead, I have faith in the DW crew!
Unless you live up here you wouldn't know. See the standing water on the track now? It's only going to get worse, heavy rain from tomorrow to Sunday. If anyone knows how to build a track that has puddles and mud as it is right now, and with it about to be pissing rain for 5 days straight? I'm really curious to know how anyone could pull that off...
Doug Henry winning at Texas Stadium during a thunderstorm that also produced a lot of hail was the most epic mudder I ever saw (95 or 6?). He was doing the triples, while everyone else was trying to roll everything. He may have lapped the entire field.
"Mud racing too dangerous"
Greatest first ever post! Welcome to the forum.
Second christmas for AP, he's already drooling.
Anyone remember that lol?
Sand Diego 2019 was a true mudder imo. Seattle 2018 not bad either.
It must have been ‘96, because I would have been in Navy bootcamp around that time and I don’t remember ever seeing that race.
If you thought Jett and Tomac looked good at A1, wait till you see them on jet skis. Feet on the pegs at all times, on the throttle through the whole corner
Henry won at Texas Stadium in ‘95. McGrath won every race in ‘96 other than St. Louis which Emig won.
