If a deaf mute predicted its going to rain in NE Ohio, id put money on his guess. Better odds than red or black. Forecast just keeps getting worse lol.

Ill be on the floor and I anticipate wearing my mud boots all day.

Not looking good for Saturday 

1/4 inch of rain, Biblical amount of rain.

This is vital, everything is a biblical amount of rain. 🤣

Zycki bud...

You just redefined what it it means to be a core sx fan if you can remember a track design from 19 years ago. 😮

lol thank you sir. To be fair, I am from the St. Louis area, so I was there, and in that weird off camber turn that reedy took stew out in. Also easy to remember for me because RC was talking about it being his last win on the broadcast recently. Spoke to all three of them boys that night. 

Funny little tidbit, while talking to Ricky a golf cart was honking to get by and he had to grab his Gatorade out of their way. He apologized and moved on talking. I distinctly remember looking at him in the eyes, mind you I am 6’0 and Ricky is what 5’4? I just remember how little he was and how much he would whoop my ass on a bike. Funny moment.

No press riding and they are talking about shortening it to 2 mains.  The weather looks awful for Saturday.  Kind of wish I didn't already buy tickets.

That's an awesome memory. I get it now. 

A couple races back I was watching the race and chatting with friends when they show #141, Nic Romano. Instantly it brought me back to the 1994 Seattle SX and a very young Craig Decker hitting the triple lap after lap in the 125 class. He came in 3rd that night behind Huffman and Hughes. The 3 of them were the only ones to do the triple lap after lap.

Right on, right on.  🙂

Yes, and with the weather, the smoke should start clearing out by the trophy presentation.

One 2-Hour GNCC style moto per class. Replace whoops with log sections and rock gardens, maybe a shark pit. Must keep SX suspension bolted on.

I think I'm in the minority around here but I've never enjoyed mudder sx races.  When it's really bad its just guys paddling around and turns into something that isn't supercross.

Taking my boy to his first SX Saturday, looking like it's not gonna turn out quite how I was planning.

Remember a couple yrs ago when they cancelled San Fran because of rain?? It's like the people that run this chit don't really wanna hold these races if given the smallest of excuses.... 

And yet another reason why supercross should be held in stadiums w an fn roof.... ohhhhh!!!.. but that cuts into the millions upon millions that sx makes, that they don't share with the riders, that they just stack on top of their billions....

People are going to bitch and moan because nobody's jumping anything, and it's not fun to watch.   I hear it everytime there is a bad mud race.    Look at it as an enduro-cross.    Mud is entertaining to see who can conquer it the best.     It is the great equalizer!

The had over 8 inches of rain leading up the cancelled event. That's 6 months worth in just a week. Drains clogged, emergency vehicles unable to respond in a timely manor.

I like there to be one mudder per year, but not so muddy they can't do any of the jumps.

I’m with you. While they can throw a few surprises in the mix, it doesn’t feel like supercross. 

This interesting to see who’s decent in the mud though.

What a bunch of whining pussies our sport has turned into.

The old Fulton county stadium in Atlanta, Open stadium scheduled at the end of February.

Half the races there were mud fests.

One year icicles breaking off the upper deck on to people seated below. They just moved or opened an umbrella.

Still sold out about every year.

Now, here we are, an 80% chance of a quarter inch of rain during the day, and people are bailing.

Buy a ticket, Pack your raincoat, and get the HELL of my LAWN!

When a SX track has puddles forming and it turns to slop it's more of a bad comedy show of who does not go down racing at 10 Mph.

Whack call of the week here: if it's a true mudder and a triple crown, Prado wins the overall. Hunter grinds out a solid 3rd overall. Someone random ends up second. A big name capitulates and it's their championship done 🤷

I wouldn’t want to be on a kick start bike.

Also add to all those reasons that the stadium was flooded.  The underbelly of the stadium couldn’t be accessed, let alone run a a safe event. Oakland was a terrible example of a race being cancelled being a bad idea.

Lean into it. Ironman 14 was first race my wife and one of my nephews ever went to. It was a muddy mess, guys were getting completely stuck in corners if they didn't carry enough speed, people were hopping the fence to help pull them out, Canard ripped second moto and made it look easy.... core moto memory. There will be plenty of other opportunities to take him to a normal race!
