They should make 1 track in the outdoors as identical as possible every single year - so we have a fairly objective measurement of the best laptime on the exact same track over the history of motocross.
It should be on a track with the least chance of rain.
It will give us a good approximation of Prime James Stewart vs Jett, but with future riders
Nah
The conditions and track prep will never be exact. This wouldn’t really tell you anything.
Over the years there would be an envelope develop - of fastest to slowest. And it would slowly creep forward - at a rate we could measure for the first time.
Great idea geezer, let’s make it concrete

I`ve seen face of jumps made of concrete in Europe. Don`t remember which track it was.
I’ve thought about this idea for SX. Figure out the optimal layout for each stadium, not necessarily for comparison between years but to utilize each venues strengths and to minimize there weaknesses.
Mildenhall in the UK used to have them (and still might). Plenty of tracks in the Netherlands do too, but I don't recall their names.
There’s this thing called weather.
what's to learn, that James was and is T F M O T P?
The tracks are stale enough as is, they should be required to have a make over at a minimum of once every five years
Who cares if Jett is faster than Bubba, this whole infatuation of who is/was the best is a waste of time, enjoy the memories of pastcriders, and appreciate what we are witnessing in real time. All the fast riders from the 70s through today are awesome!
wait, isnt this the case most of the time? 🤨 Especially this year i dont remember any real track change compared to last year so far. But u cant be for real, its not even possible to compare laptimes on the same DAY cause of condition changes, let alone one year lmao
What’s crazy is we see a few tracks each year that race really well and a lot that don’t. Not to stifle their creativity or anything but I don’t think it’s a crazy idea to rehash the tracks that raced well the following years when racing is the product. Most of them are standard football fields so you could even put one layout in a different venue so the fans don’t see the same track next year.
No, I like when they change something every year. Nothing major, just something.

You don't work with data at all do you? There are so many reasons why this wouldn't work and be inaccurate.
There is no constant in a uncontrolled environment.
It’s not a terrible thought, although almost certainly never going to happen.
Road racing circuits keep lap record data even though bikes, equipment and techniques change over time.
What is the issue with the data?
