Hold it somewhere they'd get 20,000 plus!
Many many places around the world would fully support it.
Poor effort yanks!
what this race showed me, just like last years....., is that the true us motocross fan base is not as big as the world would think, there are a lot of americans that talk about motocross but really have other values that come before a good mx race....and since those values were not present at glen helen they weren't also............
there were americans on the gate, zack is good enough for a win in mx2......but still not enough for national pride..!!!!!
that feeling only shows when they are certain of the win, then they will show in huge numbers, get all drunk, miss most of the action, worst of all make others miss it too, and then thrive on the american victory even before it happens...!!!!!!!!
there are a lot of those so called "fans" in the races in europe also.......its not an american thing..!!!!!! stupidity is everywhere unfortunatly...!!!!!!! its just that americans like to always make it big......and it shows.....!!!!!!!
fortunatly not all are like that....there are motocross lovers in america, we could see then there and even here..... and i'm sure they had a blast.......glen helen was at it's best even in diferent weather conditions through the day, the racing was great and they could check out every thing they usually only see in the pc.......i wish i could some day do the same at a us outdoor........and it all went down without all the stupidity that is commun when the so called general public shows up....it was a great motocross race for its great fans........be it live or through the broadcasts........
so for me the real important attendance was the one present, or behind the sceen, those are the true fans of the sport, those are the ones that have to be missed......... and like the bikes and riders are all collorfull, so should be the fans.........!!!!!!!!!!!!
or you are another of those fans i dont miss at a motocross race.....then i am the one understanding your dislike of my post.....

doesn't properly support a mx gp,
it is well deserved!
The way I understand it the promoter gets a % of the TV rights so they do not care about actual attendance = peanuts.

$4 per gallon??? you lucky people - we currently pay approx 3 times that amount. Now that sucks.
I will say this. It was nice to go to a motorcycle race and not have to deal with the mob scene that you normally see at a SX/MX race. So much easier to navigate the place, the racers were more relaxed and the riders that were there to watch like Reed, Hamblin, etc seemed to enjoy it as well. I can't tell you how many U.S. riders we bumped into that were just there to watch.
And why Glen Helen isn't on the U.S.mx schedule anymore baffles me. Track is so gnarly and looked top notch.
While not a huge turnout, even the anti FIM/GP guys will admit it was well above 2000. Good Lord!

Now if only you could take your MX bike on the bus and have them drop you off at the track
The racing was great, man that Rocsen kid hauls the mail, and don't think the track was easy, it was super sandy and got rough, made for great racing. The "full dress" was great, love how they make that place look, very colorful and breathtaking when you stand on the hills and look at it. Plus the blue skies just added to it. My family, we enjoyed it thoroughly and look forward to it next year.

organisers can make money out off event-sponsoring and the spectators ....
I can still visualize the "Hang Ten USGP" branding for Carlsbad. The event had identity. I hope they'll work hard at recreating that i every respect.
