Seattle had a great turn out. Safeco field would be a better venue though.

I still say the Meadowlands needs a round again. They raced there in the 80s. Or is that stadium gone?

I'll give you the Meadowlands back and at the Pontiac round, we run the track back up into the stands for old times sake.

Braapp!

I think the venue should include only closed stadiums. I understand this wipes out A1 through 3 and SD and SF but that's life.

BTW :Washougal is one of the most beautiful tracks on the circuit but it also sucks. That beautiful loam is on top of some hard pack shit, and it makes it slick as glass.

You guys are killing me, what happened to the race "rain or shine" mentality? The differences in the tracks is what makes it a "series" and brings out the abilities of different riders on different style tracks.

It draws more spectators than any other race. I have no idea why we don't have an Atlanta 2.

All those "CORE" guys. Always talking about how tough the outdoors is and it sux that they groom the tracks and all that shit, now???


Having said that the track sucked and wasn't a lot of fun to watch. Had it been a mud fest like Daytona 2 yrs ago then it would have been somewhat entertaining to watch the guys duck walk their bikes through the whoops.

It would have been alot more fun to watch if somebody could have come close to running Windham's pace in the main.

We need some hard core guys like we have on these motoboards instead of the pussies that are out there now.

Looked like the same dirt they used when we raced there in 1979, Bob...just at a different stadium. It was a rutted mofo of a track back then. I remember Butch Lee saying that the dirt had been dredged up from the bay or some shit. But we all raced it and we were happy to do it. Since when did you become such a pussy?

I thought the track last night was awesome and it gave riders a chance to shine that know how to navigate those kinds of ruts. Magoo would have destroyed that place! He used to take lines that blew my mind when I'd race with him at those shithole tracks up in NorCal that you loved so much. I remember being behind him in practice and seeing him square off a turn and go directly across the foot deep ruts in a turn at a 45 degree angle...wide open in 4th gear on his Maico. I just thought, "what the fuck was that!", and put my head down to avoid the roost.

I didn't hear any of the riders last night whining...why the fuck are you?

No doubt...14 would have won against 7 last night.....nice to see that not everyone wants a hermetically sealed race track.....differences in dirt, rocks, domes, not-domes.....they all make for differences that change-the-game and eliminate the AX "specialist" tracks that make me care less about a AX race.......

Amen brother!

Tickle, Windham, Hahn and Millsaps were fantastic last night amongst others.

Imagine the arm pump from trying to navigate all those ruts. Badass.

I'd say the fans make the decision with their wallets. The best turn outs all year indoor and out are in the NW. We have some real fans up here that vote with their wallets. Jacksonville has perfect dirt but 1000 people in the stands. We get 50,000 fans and crappy dirt.

What's weird is there's tons of good dirt in seattle area and for some reason they use this crap dirt. Which by the way is Feld manufactured dirt. We don't have any dirt like that in the NW. Last year feld brought in sand and then mixed in a bunch of concrete base that's supposed to help when we get rain. Problem is in the 3 years at Qwest field it's been dry every Sat night. They could easily find better dirt. I say go down to the woodland wa. area and use that type of dirt.

Bottom line is it's nice to have supercrosses on different types of soil and luckily Bobby M makes no decisions on where the races are run.

Unlike allot of venues we in the NW heavily support the sport and if they took are only supercross that would be fcked up.

How about Joliet, IL again? That's where McGrath clinched his last Championship. An outdoor night event there is slightly less stupid than Seattle plus you could get the option of a snow race occasionally in April.

cuz i am a fan and spectator now, not a racer. if i was a racer i'd be kicking ass on you and magoo too. Smile

as a watcher the race was terrible...mud is better.

Seattle is never a fun looking track.

Fans like it because its always intresting, but face it, the track sucks and is dangerous.
