Gonna be some short lap times. I feel like these tracks are definitely a step back from the last few years but maybe they are trying to tone them down.
First two are basically just a normal SX race.
Sand rollers after the first turn in Columbus!
Carson looks fun and different.
Ridgedale is the one I would want to go to, but their lowest ticket price is $108 or so.
Anybody get tge presale code or find a link to buy tickets today?

I was gonna ask the same thing. I didn’t get an email…
So San Diego SX x2 and then Daytona SX for the triple points finale.
Look pretty cool. Last round definitely looks the best. No one seemed to like the infield or drag strip “hybrid” tracks so I don’t blame them for going away from them.
Didn’t the XGAMES track go outside the stadium? Bummed they’re not doing that here.
Codes up
No seat numbers, just GA. Standing only????
Wow, these tracks are terrible. They're just dumbed down SX tracks -- so even less passing because there won't be technical rhythms or whoops, instead just hard-pack straightaways and switchbacks which we no produce no passing in SX due to a lack of ruts.
Also, the first are in soccer stadiums, so tiny little tracks just like San Diego.
Really disappointed to see such a step down. I personally though the Charlotte SMX track and Chicago SMX track provided some great racing and very unique track design.
GA $105. $242 service fee for 8 tickets. Just getting ridiculous.
I think the seats are standing on the grass
If anyone even thinks that the Carson round is even acceptable, I direct to you 20 years ago....
I think the issues with weather cause a major problem. Just too many issues with crossing over concrete walls
If it's SMX why can't one round be at an outdoor track? These tracks take away from any legitimacy the series had.
If that's what they're asking to stand on a grass hillside I don't even want to know what they're asking for VIP or an actual seat.
Yeah and nowhere to sit but the ground can't even bring in chairs. I had already booked a condo as it sits now may not even go to the race. I'm from reasonably close and from what I see so far this was not a good venue choice.
I don't think there are actual seats besides that big VIP tower. I could be wrong but so far I am disappointed the way it looks.
Wonder if they have 8 wheelchair rentals close by???
There was a track that went out, but it was the Supermoto Track. The SX races was down and back a few times.
I have some pictures of the track, just gotta try and hunt them down and remember what box they were in. I don't think they were digital lol.
Pit Row
I guess standing on a hillside is the outdoor part of smx finals
That’s what I was hoping for when Carson was announced.
In other words, their vision of this whole camping and full weekend entertainment plus large tracks has failed and they didn't make as much money as they thought they should. So now they are pivoting to regular supercross races where the small stadiums are begging them to have an event (except the finale which is probably free because of the Bass Pro Sponsorship).
Why do they make everything so difficult? Just got off the phone with Thunder Ridge Nature Arena, CLUELESS. Pickleball in my near future.
Yeah I enjoyed the camping/weekend thing so that’s a bummer. Vegas was a little wild cost wise for “vip” camping with no accommodations and still having to buy tickets. But, if they had it again I wouldn’t hesitate to pay again.
So basically 3 extra rounds of SX?
So the ticket is $75 and then the service fee is 40% of that at $30.35 per ticket. That is highway robbery. No way am I paying that kind of service fee for anything unless it is in the champagne room and is served to me by a struggling college student. 😃
And for the record the tracks are just SX without whoops so that makes it SMX...lame and a clear cash grab. At least the riders are making more but damn....
Same look to go to Columbus
I agree with you that these tracks are definitely toned down, it seems like their justification of the "MX" portion of "SMX" is just dumping a bunch of sand on it and kind of assuming that'll be the slow tech-y part of the track. But I wouldn't assume that'll be the Columbus race will be hard packed. That Ohio dirt should be pretty soft.
Also, a thing about soccer stadiums is they're actually larger than American football stadiums in terms of actual floor space because regulation soccer fields are considerably wider than football fields. So these tracks should have some additional space when compared to some NFL Stadiums we race in like MetLife or NRG
here's the Wikipedia link if you don't believe me lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soccer-specific_stadium
Field size is wider for international soccer than an NFL field but the surface available for track build is not bigger. Most of the soccer stadiums have the field go nearly all the way to the stands and aren't leaving the big sideline area football fields have. This is same field size Columbus vs NRG.
