Wow I definitely win dumb ass of the year award, I had no idea they changed it to the weekend before why would they do that? That’s super lame, guess I screwed myself by not checking.
Nah… all good my friend.
Only reason I knew that is a buddy took his kid up there to race or I would’ve never known either

Yeah, No Beano. He won’t be making the trip out West. Tried to get him to Pala last weekend but he didn’t show. Do you know him? Pretty sure I know the answer.
So back on track. 100F at Hangtown, No Beuno!
I'll bet they rip deeper for the pros. That will help hold some water but yeah, will probably still be dry and hard.
Sorry bruh. If you’re trying to say “not good” in informal Spanish, the “u” comes before the “e”. The way you spelled it is no bueno.
You don't get used to it, you deal with it
You move Hangtown and Pala to August and you can guarantee it’s going to be hot. With them in May sometimes you get cool weather. Not as much now that the series starts later.
They always say Hangtown will either be triple-digits or rain. Missed it by just a couple days.
Birmingham, AL (Barber Motorsports Park) is forecast to be 83 deg. The excuse of heat to not have a race in the SE seems a bit weak.

I think its called "trailer park Saturday night"
2001 was brutal, just wicked. I don't think it has been that bad since then. Doesn't help to have moved it from mid-May.
Expect track prep to be very different fro, amateur day.
Boys better be perpulating for this weekend
First Hangtown was 1974 at the Plymouth sand track. Freezing cold overnight in the back of a beater Ford pickup, praying for the sun to come up. Last Hangtown was 2021 when I could feel heat stroke coming on before the 1st 450 moto. We bee-lined for the truck to get out of there. The jailbait 52-year-old Girlfriend wants to go this year, but she hated the heat in 2021 and just forgot. I looked into bougie tickets but they were around $450 each, so close to $1000 and it would still be hot and miserable. Time to admit to the limitations of aging. Going out to ride the 300 XCW today though!
1988 it was so windy they didn't even try to put water on the track. Had to wear goggles to spectate to keep the dirt out; never seen something like that since. If social media had existed back then it would have been bad.
As a guy just watching on tv, I really liked Freestone. Rough and hot, man's track. I know everyone said it wasn't a good track for spectator's. They say that about Pala, too. Southwick isnt anything soecial as far as spectating goes either.
Pit Row
sorry bro, "i want to beat my wife, kids, and dogs" is already taken by Monster Energy drink
I swear, "spring" in NorCal last 2-3 weeks. You go from needing a heater to living in a frying pan in the same month.
Preparating by drinking some warter🥵
Freestone wasnt a National caliber track IMO..... Have attended in person to the national, have ridden/raced it as a squid on amateur day. Viewing at the wick is pretty piss poor in person sans a few areas but i'd venture to say its better than Freestone, and it isnt a bajillion degrees and humid. Last Freestone national I attended was brutal!
Apple Weather now shows 104*F for Saturday. It's going to be brutal for everyone there. 🥵
That was the blessing of having Hangtown run in early April back in the day. The realignment of the SX and MX schedules pushed it to the worst time of the year for heat and dried out hillsides.
Dude, that isn't even Honorable Mention material on here! 😄
Sorry if you're disappointed. 😁
So, we're going with "Beater"?
Fadder
Might want to change that pronunciation to "faddah".
That "hard R" on the end might offend some. 😄
Apple weather is always a bit extreme, just like they were with Pala last week. Of all the weather apps I find Accuweather to be the most accurate and they are forecasting 100 at the moment.
Haven't they started shortening the motos in recent years due to heat? If yes, what is the temp threshold and how much will they shorten the motos?
We go every year, every year I say that it's too damn hot to drag two little kids around the track all day with no shade and we won't go back next year.
Anyway, we will be there Thursday. Again. And these weather reports are pissing me off.
