Many times over the years I thought to myself how could this sport keep getting better and holding my interest. There have been a few times over the years when I really thought I was no longer going to be a rabid fan any longer and maybe even become a casual fan or kind of move on because so and so was retiring and an era was ending. Just a couple short years ago my mind was going there again when Eli looked like he was stepping away and guys like Bam Bam were on the verge as well not to mention Dunge and RV retiring. Then out of the darkness came Jett, Eli revived his career by the switch to Starr and Chase became a beast in his own right on a 450. Then Haiden jumped to the pros and instantly became a force. We had the MXON mulligan at Red Bud and not only did we win but it was Eli with a statement ride in moto 1. Suddenly I am crazier than ever about MX/SX! I have a new (to me) 5th wheel and HD truck and I am all in for the 2025 MXON! I have three buddies going with me and I am counting down the days until we arrive on Thursday. I've got my tickets, camping spot and three day pit pass and I am going to soak up every second of the experience! Smile

Have fun bro, me and my family are going too but I’m not sure which days yet or if we will camp. Ironman is only 2 hours away from us. This will be out first MXON as well. I wish they had the schedule out! I’m not sure what to expect

Yeah ok . There’s a lot of Great Mx racing in America though. At different levels like vet racing is huge .  Next month red Bud gets riders from all ovr the country.  You hv some Mi. Riders doing great at the nationals like Harrison . That has to be cool for ya.

I agree with your sentiment. My avatar is me racing at Baja Acres on memorial weekend 2012 in the 50 plus class. I've raced in d14 off and on all my life Smile I even came close to winning a state title a couple times and was 2nd in 40 plus one year and 50 plus another. Qualified for LL at the Baja regional in 2013 and had the best time down there! It was the highlight of my racing days. My post is really just about being a profeshenal spectator and spending a piece of my disposable income going to the pro races to watch. I still feel like a kid when I go when we have the quality of riders we have Smile
