Please respond and have your friends respond. 

Glen Helen has noticed RV's comments on Vital that GH is his favoriet outdoor track.

Hopefully DC and MX Sports sees this poll / feedback and comes to terms with GH.

Should the AMA Outdoor National come back to Glen Helen?

Of course I want to see GH back but do the fans have enough clout to influence either side?

Back in the day.  Best place to watch a national, hands down.

I'd rather see Kenworthys back.  People used to say it was to Supercrossy, so make it a round of SMX

I'm indifferent as to what southern californian concrete track they hold the race at, given that we hhaaaaavveee to have a race there, because reasons. 

Plenty of teams and riders based in southeast and nobody insisting we race there.

Agreed, there should be two Northern California rounds, one at Hangtown and the other at Riverfront!

Bring back the Keithsburg, Ill., national. A new generation of pros needs to be sore for a week.

I need Midol because I understand that as long as Bud Feldkamp owns GH and Davey & Rita Coombs own MX Sports, Glen Helen isn't getting a national? Weird flex, champ. But hey, you do you...

Maybe it never happens.......but do you need to come in a "piss" in everyone's Cheerios?

If you don't like the thread...do not click on it, easy to understand correct?

Spot on Sully, hopefully people read your reply and let it sink in.....then, just maybe, we will avoid another 50 threads about Glen Helen coming back.

Certainly Glen Helen is better than Pala Raceway, but good luck with that.

Maybe, now that we have a S&M Series, we could actually go back to WW Ranch in Jacksonville the week before, or after the Daytona Supercross?

Would it not be cool to alternate venues and add back into the AMA Outdoor MX schedule Broome-Tioga NY, Axton VA, or Gainesville FL?  ( Instead of 2 Pala events )

Or even better something "New" like Monster Mountain, Lake Whitney, Swan MX, or Mammoth?

Lake Whitney venue is Legendary...I miss that place...I had the privilege of spinning some laps with Rusty Holland there...great memories..and Sadly, I have been told that the venue no longer exists.

Whitney is part of a hunting lodge now. The starting structure and finish line tower are all that's left:

Sorry but throwing 1 outdoor national in the middle of the SX series was a total cluster fuck. And yes I raced it.

Steel City was shut down because it was on the hillside above the creek that feeds a drinking water reservoir. Screenshot 20231031 115439 Google Earth

I much prefer Glen Helen for viewing. I want to see all parties have acceptable terms, however, and it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.

That is so fucking sad. I can't believe it. What happened that we lost such an iconic venue?
