I hope the guys at PALA come up with a plan to get people in and out in a reasonable time frame.
Maybe we are just spoiled because access to Carlsbad wasn't much better than what we are looking at with this PALA race and Saddleback was one lane in and out for about 7 miles to the freeway.
For the sake of PALA and MX Sports I hope the outdoor championship is still undecided come Sept. 10th.
good luck to all the parties involved
if they do i am in!!!
i will start at the penny slots, hit a jackpot then move to the nickles and hit a jackpot then move to the quarters and....i will get me some VIP rooms and some passes!!

"And for the record, there is no deal with Pala Raceway or anyone else at this time. I have never stayed at Pala Resort, I have never gambled there, and I have never ridden there, but I have been there twice. It has a lot of potential, just like Glen Helen, Honey Lake, Competitive Edge and a few other California tracks."
It was days before this whole thread where I had heard it from two reliable sources that Pala was the location. In fact that entire thread is asking for confirmation of the Pala rumors. What would precipitate a rumor in this reference, An ounce of truth?
I still think the communication here is skewed. Minus the ink on paper I am going to conclude that this deal was done. And because there was a lot of butt hurt everyone was playing their cards close to their chest.
Congratulation on the new location - letzgetiton!
Now, were they talking with all those location to work out a suitable deal? Sounds like yes. It's a business that's fluid. For DC to share as much as he does about who he's talking to is a bit surprising actually.
As far as the rumor having a grain of truth to it? Do you think someone from one of the other locations could have said exactly the same thing? DC was here!!! He wants to put an MX in Atlanta! blah, blah, blah.
I think you are judging this a bit harshly and unfairly.
I dont really get why a sixties ability to jump it would have anything to do with removing the jump? Arn't there singles at just about every track? Couldn't the problem of it being too small be fixed by making it wider, adding dirt to make it longer, moving fances back, or any combination of the three? Sorry, DC but I'm going to chalk that up as a weak argument.
But I don't run it, and I never had a say in it removing anything from their track. It's Ralph Huffman's place, and I promise I will suggest he consider putting something like that back in the track. This year is Washougal's 30th Anniversary on the AMA circuit (and 40th in existence) so it's the "retro" race. What a better way to celebrate Washougal's heritage than to put a Chuck Sun jump back in?
But it has to be different than the last one, because a modern 450 might land down on the banks of the Columbia River!

I had a nice conversation with someone closely related to Glen Helen, and now know both sides.. I will say Glen Helen sounded bummed about the whole thing, but they have moved on and I will as well.
DC can come on here and spin it whichever way he wants. Trying to play it off as Glen Helens the only one at fault though is really counter productive.. Saying he has "moved on" from the Glen Helen National, shows a lack of respect for the track and the fans.
