There will be three more sloppy races, looks like rain again next week in PA, NJ the following week has the potential, and in felds wisdom we go back to PA the following week and even if it doesn’t rain again the dirt that’s been stored outside the stadium will be sloppy from this weeks rain … so who knows what this is going to look like, i guess GNCC and not  SX!

I get they want races in big markets but if the weather sucks every year how are the expecting to sell tickets each year. 

I’m sure locations will change once the multi year contracts expire.

I couldn't turn it off and love the privateers getting on the box, one thing for sure the chance to make it to another week without injuries goes way up!

No way around it, they fucking suck. SX should only happen in closed domes, mud doesn't work with the format, unlike road racing where racing actually happens, SX in the mud turns into a belly flopping clown show, no one likes it.

Yeah what a waste of time, even the never make main monkeys made it and celebrated like they did something. How bout the “Hey bro gimme a raise at the sheet metal job tweaker”

Can't imagine having to clean that mess up! Hauling the muck out alone has to leave a trail of carnage. Those guys earn their pay!

I'm not a fan of total mudders, watching, or riding in.   It's bad tv watching guys dog paddle around.

It does give guys a chance to get on the box who otherwise wouldn't.

It’s a joke and shouldn’t happen in SX.

You think that was less risky than a normal sx?

Disagree. The challenging conditions add to the excitement. The potential for a major shift in championship points raises the stakes for the top riders.

What always surprises me, though, is that all of these manufacturers compete in conditions like these on the enduro circuits, so they should be able to prepare bikes that can survive the relatively short supercross mains without blowing up.

Don't really prefer to have too many mud races in the series but having the chance to see things changed up a bit and privateers doing well makes it worthwhile for me.  I also find it to be a bit more exciting when riders have to battle in those kind of conditions as anything can happen.  Makes the race far less predicable and that's a good thing in my opinion.

With the weather looking the way it is Dean Wilson needs to take a few more weeks off. His knees are not worth it if it's a shop fest.

But honestly how hard is it for them to just come up with a couple wet slop track designs for these rainy days.

1st off, you’re arguing with Mother Nature or “The Weather”…your pick.

2nd off, as a racer that’s raced in the rain and mud…from Hollister, California to Hurricane Mills, Tennessee to Prince George, BC, Canada to Laguna Hanson, BC, Mexico…it’s all part of racing in the dirt. Period. 

Personally, I loved last night’s race. I actually smiled when I saw Park, Linville, Rodbell & Bennick in the top 5. 

I was stoked to see Plessinger have a dominant win in circumstances that reminded me why I’m a fan of his and his team. I was blown away at how Webb proved to us, once again, that he “ain’t got no quit in him”.

Shane Mac in 2nd? NICE! 

Benny gettin’ a 7th? NICE!

Logan Leitzel in 9th!!! 

All of that…just…Awesome.

It’s all racing…and I loved it.

Mud races but they don't tame the track down and keep it 20 minutes + 1 lap.

I’m not a fan of mudders but it is cool for a mixup. 250 east is exciting since everyone’s so close in points and stoked on the privateers getting their best finishes. But definitely don’t want a lot of mudders.

If people want to grow the sport this is not the way to do it. No 'casual fan' would watch that pile of literal shit. It removes everyone supercross is supposed to be about - precision, speed, massive jumps.

They need stadiums with roofs,except for Daytona.  This Daytona  here  was probably the only SX mudder I ever enjoyed.    I wanted Reed to win,but KW won.

Yep. It was gnarly, entertaining, I do not know why these whiny pussies just can't enjoy seeing the best in the world struggle/overcome/survive one of the gnarliest SX races ever.

Yeah just keep on being a little whiny bitch and not supporting our sport.

 

You ever race bro? Seems like you didn't. Or maybe you just sucked.

Who else here has raced in mud? I loved when it started raining because I knew I would do well.

But let me guess …… MUD outdoors is fine. 🤣

I can't believe the amount of responses here crying over a mudder. Hasn't this been the first one this year? All these core mfer's, "I don't even watch if it rains." Imagine saying that
