Sorry mods for the language. At Indy and just finished watching 450 Moto1. Can the f*#king “fans” just sit down and watch the damn races instead of constantly shuttling back and forth for beer and food?!?! Why do they even come?!?! Same thing happened at Detroit 2 years ago.

I know what I spent for tix, room, gas and food just to get here. Missed what happened to Coop because some inconsiderate a&$hole woman had to cart her spoiled brat back and forth in front of me for the third time since the first 250 start.

Can we PLEASE start a big push on social media, Vital, Pulp and all the other pods to either educate or tell these “fans” to stay home?

Two d&$kneads came back with fists full of beer but instead of simply taking their seats stood at the landing blocking people’s view.

Ok I’m done. Thanks for letting me vent. Juniors are coming out.

Only way you're going to fix this is if you start throwing some punches. Don't let these jerks wreck your experience. Handle it. Keep us posted!

This is why outdoors is so much better.  Last SX I went to was horrible with just drunk idiots.  I don't know that I'll ever go to another SX.

Any stadium event I attend, I’m wandering more than sitting at my seat/standing section. I love seeing the track from different perspectives.

People these days need instant gratification and feel they are entitled to do whatever they want in public without consequence.  Gone are the days of people holding each other accountable.

Having been to just about every venue over the last 10 years I can unequivocally say Anaheim is the absolute worst for this shit.

I can respect that. At least you’re watching and getting different points of view. I do that myself at outdoors.

450 moto 2 about to take off, he is done eating and now he is thirsty. F me, got to get up, and let him outside. Doesn’t he want to watch the race? Up, down, up down, it like he isn’t even paying attention. 🤦‍♂️. Race tech rant for sure! Because you know in about 25, he is going to get up to use the restroom outside.

LOL you have a point. If I were home I’d be hitting pause to do the same with mine.

Been to Daytona for the past 8 years other than this year and Tampa the handful of times it’s been back on the schedule, Muddy Creek and Budd’s numerous times as well. Only real idiot I can remember is a dude holding an FMF umbrella in the crowd at the podium at Budd’s a few years, some chick let him have it a little bit and he apologized and folded it up.

 

All I could think about watching that shit at Daytona a few weeks ago was when I was at Budd’s for the 250 podium in 2022 and the gate broke. Nobody overstepped, rushed the podium, stole goggles etc. Everyone stayed in the same spot as a crowd while the riders sprayed champagne on them.

Outdoors is pretty much the same anymore. I will watch from home thanks, deal with RC's malapropisms, and the blonde's screeches is doable and sometimes funny. The fans live tend to piss me off considering the cost. How can someone spend the money and time to go to a live event and not even watch it?

I know what you mean. Nobody ever gets drunk at outdoors…

Why do you think they are doing something wrong? Looks like,they are doing it right to me? But you know them, so I don’t know?

Fight Him!

You know, for the full SX experience....... though, I don't like your chances, even if the Pup chooses the "Lick Him To Death" attack.

The difference is at outdoors I can move 50 feet or go somewhere else.  SX you are stuck with the seat and luck of the draw who you are around.

This is why i dont go to the races anymore. Have to stand the whole time.

To rant on another topic do we need everyone to keep stressing to us that the starts are important? Like…no shit, its pretty self explanatory

I haven't been to a race in ages, but are people as bad as concerts with their phones out the entire race?

Not a thing wrong from what I could see. Loved the originality and the elevated bus viewing deck. I would guess those are true fans that actually watch the action they pay for.

No worries it’s all good. The basis of my rant was the people who go back and forth and back and back the entire race forcing a whole row of people to get up and thereby block the view of whole rows of people behind them. I get the occasional run to piss or drinks or whatever but when you’re getting up mid moto 3 or more times and keep coming back with shit in my humble opinion you should do it before or after or wait for a vendor cart to walk by. It’s just inconsiderate.

How hard is it to understand that it’s General Admission until 6:30pm. Had multiple people come and say…those are our seats. No they are not, it’s G/A right now. Last lap of the 450 LCQ some people were like, those are our seats. I nicely said it’s the last lap, I’m watching the race. Almost missed the last lap. 
One last thing, the fans at Indy are boring. It had to look boring on tv too. Which SX event has the best liveliest fans? We are spoiled with going to Red Bud every year, but come on…can we show some real emotion at the SX races too. So many people on there phones, probably forgot they were at a Supercross anyways. 
Sorry, just needed to rant a little.

Was it just me or were opening ceremonies terrible and very lame? They couldn’t even manage to light up the rider. No lasers or explosives. Couldn’t hear much. Not to mention for us long time fans no lap around the track with the top guys.
