.. or call it whatever the hell you want.   But we've established a consistent pattern of early season, open stadium mudders in California (or narrowly avoided disasters thanks only to hercluean efforts to save the track).  The last few years have pretty much been a cluster of rain issues in Anaheim, SD, SF, and Oakland.  The old days of "we race in CA because of the consistent great weather" are obviously over.  

How much money can this be costing?  To constantly be doing all these "save the track" rain miracles?  How many 24 hr days  can guys pull on heavy equipment?  What were the losses from the Oakland postponement last year?

How many bikes and parts go in the dumpster after each of these mudders?

Please tell me the powers that be are smart and doing some kind of calculating on re-juggling the schedule in the coming years to avoid repeating this over and over.

Oh, if I was a 250 rider, I'd definitely be angling for East coast if they keep this up.   Ask Jo Shimoda...

I just want to know how much they spent trucking that dirt across the bay from Oakland. Probably cost more than Nicoletti’s salary 🥴

Almost 20 years ago we had a handful of California SX mudders.    Does that also fit into your agenda?

Did we not have enough arguing/bickering in other threads?

What other options are there for Supercross in January?  This is a cold moist time of year for most of the nation, most indoor football stadiums are still being used for football, and most indoor baseball stadiums are not just not interested (most are not fully staffed in the off season).

There was just no social media then.  There weren’t 500 twitter moto journalists or 100 moto podcasts where everyone complains about everything.  San Diego looked like hero dirt.  That shit looked fun.  I guess nowadays people just want to see a packed down track.  Blue grove leading up to the takeoffs and concrete whoops

Yeahhh look I’m a scientist by trade and it’s obvious that we are making an impact on the climate, but mudders in supercross aren’t really the best data points to demonstrate this my man

Plus the return trip. They had to truck it all back to Oakland.

When did that impact we are making start?

What would the climate be without our "impact"

And what whould the perfect climate look like?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Yeah, the weather has been weird (in a good way for the series). Sure it’s been tough to deal with, but what a nice surprise to the dread of Jett running away with it.

Climate change has hit Colorado hard, It gets cold in the winter and hot in the summer, damn scary but I hope they change all the SX and MX schedules to avoid it.
