I heard with the Seahawks Superbowl parade the track build can't start until Wednesday afternoon?  Seems like a quick turnaround.  Would that mean no press day riding on Friday?  We might drive up if the weather holds (not looking terrible as of right now), its weird there is no longer a round in Northern California!

It almost seems by design for the Seattle race to be moved earlier in the season to get a crap weather race.  Guaranteed to be cold, and likely to be wet.  I know someone above mentioned it rarely rains all day in Seattle, I spent 50 years there and I can assure that is not true.  It is the place that is famous for getting no more average precipitation than other places in the country, but DOES always have  a steady, miserable, depressing, rain.

With the race being in February now, I think the excuse of not using Safeco field (with a roof) is negated too.  Either way, it makes zero sense to move this race up the schedule, it would have made a lot more sense to move it down the schedule where you aren't going to freeze your berries off, and less chance of a mud circus.

I miss the Kingdome.

What more do you need?

Did I mention the awesome horse trough urinals?

 Standing shoulder to shoulder pissing, urine mist going everywhere whilst the line to fit into a spot at the trough was 5 or 6 deep like being at the finest feed lot.

Ah, good memories 😄  Don't forget the "cold beer here!" guys, and the (RIP) peanut guy!  Back when stadium food didn't require a line of credit.  Actually, even going to a Hawks or Mariners game was actual family fun back then and affordable. 

That stuff aside, when we had the dome, we had amateur SX days..  Those were a blast.  I will never forget struggling just to get through the whoops a couple of the years.

Amateur day was crazy.  Starting super early to be done by late morning.  Really made for a full day experience with racing, watching practice and the day qualifiers and then the racing.

Dress warm and wear something that will repel some moisture. It doesn't look like it will be a mudder, just damp and cold. https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/wa/seattle

I thought Vital had some wild takes, but over on Reddit in r/Supercross there were people suggesting that the race wasn’t moved earlier because of World Cup but that Feld WANTED a mud race to mix things up. I asked why they covered the tracks protecting them from rain and got no logical response. If they truly wanted a scheduled mud race it would be pretty easy to achieve by just soaking the track with water. People and their conspiracies leave me dumbfounded sometimes.
