It's unsurprising, but also a shock at the same time: The 2023 Oakland Supercross has been postponed. Northern California has been hammered with rain for weeks now and, despite the best efforts of the track crew, there is simply too much water to build a racetrack. Feld Motor Sports have revealed that it is definitely postponed, but they are still working on an alternative date. It is not confirmed when that will be, despite rumors that Oakland's been moved to February 18. Feld Motor Sports simply stated that the "safety of our athletes, teams, operational and television staff, and fans is always our foremost concern."
2023 Monster Energy Supercross will continue in San Diego on Saturday, January 21, as scheduled.
This is a developing news story and will be updated in due course.
awesome, way better than a mud fest race. They got it right by moving the race to a later date.
Lamer then a PW50 track, I want the professionals thrashing in giant mud waves, ruining thousands of dollars of equipment and privateers hoping for a top 10 only to have the practice bike blowup.
And what happens if it rains Feb 18th?
see, right here could be that perfect timing for a full on sand track. no jumps, just all sand everywhere you look! Lets race

Good mud races are so ghey
Well usually the tracks get built before the rain comes...this time around its been raining non stop..cant build a track out of soup
I know, but with our weather patterns here it could be raining all week again that week. It's been crazy. I guess they would have to postpone again
When public resources are focused on flood response and saving lives, restoring power, they probably don't want the added complications of a large sporting event with that many people/vehicles converging in Alameda.
Why do we even need races on the west coast to begin with.
That sucks…. Just throw all the dirt in the stadium, send the guys out there on Saturday night and last bike running wins.
I'm on board with this. Idk what the area looks like to build at least some sort of a track but as far as racing goes, these guys are the best in the world and as a spectator, I wanna see them put their skills to the test.
I heard Jett fans were complaining that they might not be able to see him due to the mud so they cancelled it
Lame
Must be a Jett fan
Our sport has gone charmin 2 ply soft… sad to see it.
rain or shine is no longer the mantra.
so will outdoor rounds be postponed for being to hot?
Ban him ^^^^^

Hey congrats!! You win the dumbest comment of the day award! 👍

It's all official now, except for the February 18 part. Feld say that they are searching for a date that works.
February 18 jumps off the page, obviously, but they have not confirmed that just yet. Bring on San Diego!
Rain or shine works when you have a track already built. Can't build a tower out of molten steel.

Lol please. They don’t race in Texas or Florida anymore for that reason alone. I don’t wanna hear shit about “too hot”😂
Regardless of my personal opinion on whether or not this race should’ve been cancelled… this blows!
Or should I have said weather or not…
Maybe I missed them in other threads, but does anybody have pictures of the current condition of the stadium/dirt? Besides that short blip on ML's video?
Whale's Vagina!
(no idea how dry a whale's vagina actually might be)
Nope, just not some dork that has to make everything about Jett. #RentFree
I'll say it AGAIN...
Bring On The SAND!
When you say “…hammered by rain for weeks”; just how much rain?

That's the second time you've posted that, I can't tell if your joking or serious. Probably affects which thumb is clicked. lol
