1st Qualifying cancelled. Mike P said “hopefully” they get out there the 10:30 qualifying. I really don’t want to see racing on a blind track they rode yesterday when it was dry.
I'd rather watch some replays from the 80's or 90's during this delay than from this year.
I don’t think anyone was suggesting they run out and tarp it during the storm. I think we are baffled they didn’t have it covered last night after practice (which they may have done). Not having the tarps on before it started raining is the part I don’t understand.
Like the track crew can control when lightning strikes...I'm sure you guys probably blame the airlines when your flight is delayed by weather...

Muddy MX races are to be expected, but muddy SX races suck balls.
So... Beaumer is the favourite right?
They don’t issue the seek shelter warnings because of the threat of lightning, they issue them because the lightning is happening. They uncovered the track because they can run practice in the rain, they left it uncovered because they can’t replace the tarps once the lightning starts for the safety of the track crew
The mental gymnastics some of you goofs do to try and justify why you think your thought process is the only option really bogles my mind sometimes.
Holy hell that start straight is a pond
Shame Captain Barcia isn't on the line.
holy shit just saw that
They have to blame somebody....It is what it is...
Why are they not trying to drain the standing water from the track????
Because of the lightning in the area...It's the stadium that makes the lightning rules for insurance reasons so nobody can be in the open while lightning is in the area.
It's still raining 😩
Would be pretty cool if Plessinger got one.
Great invisible sky daddy is rc bad on a microphone... geeezusss insufferable....

Rain in September in the middle of Ohio, who would guess?
I wonder what the plan is if they can’t even run the Wildcard/LCQ races? Draw spoons?
A rudder might help better than the scoop tire. LOL Braap✊
This is exactly my thought who the hell schedule this and in such an old oddball Stadium
Mikey P will probably just use his unlimited discretion and pick a winner for each class.
Are they gonna cancel like last year
My guess is lightning should be out the area in the next 30 min. So then a 30 min wait time. Bikes on track at 12:00 local time. They run Wildcard/LCQs and then we get a mudder. Hopefully they don’t cut times or motos. If they cut anything, cut the SMX Next races and any extra stuff they had planned. Sucks for them but they aren’t the main attraction and should not be treated as if they are.
Edit: They are filling the seeded riders based on points. Wildcard racers will go at 1:30 ET.
Super mudder cross!
Anybody could win, even Deegan.
All qualifying canceled? wow
what a day
No qualifying, so the LCQ guys are just screwed and came for nothing?
