Matt walker posted yesterday that Vegas could be the last arenacross. That it could be dissolved into just an amateur sx.
This was the first time I had heard of it, does anyone have any info?

The crowds are also a joke, like in that pic and the few I've seen of the Kicker series. I almost find it funny when the announcer is screaming trying to pump everyone up, and there's like 100 people in the whole place.
I went when they came to Sacramento last year and had a good time.
They should seriously go back to having it during the fall/winter. I’m into any kind of dirt bike racing and if that’s all there is to watch I’m tuning in. Right now I feel it kind of gets lost in the shuffle with SX NBA NHL and MLB going on, at least for me.
Any promoter can call it a national series as long as it isn't ama sanctioned.
Where feld could make it hard is to tie up the best arenas by either booking concerts or other entertainment or by scheduling motorsports events that include some kind of motorcycle racing that would enact a no-similar-events clause that is often included in venues' standard contracts. Seems like they were 90 days before or after, so if a promoter had a motorcycle race event in mid January no similar events could book from mid October to mid april. Mid April to mid October is not the prime time for indoor racing.

It was a rocking series back in the mid 90's until he sold it to clear channel. It had good sponsorship, paid good money, great pre event pr, and could make you somebody to watch if you could mix it up with Mike jones, adoponte (sp?), stephenson, antunez, gibson, rand, palmer, buehl, and all the other regulars.
And the 125 and 250 2st were definitely more suited to the tight, hyper tracks.
Yeah I know it’ll never happen, but if someone brought back the old format, and had everyone race both 125s and 250s (maybe even allow 2T vs 4T in that class), I can’t help but imagine it being an extremely exciting series again.
Oh, and ama no longer has much incentive to do pr for pro racing, since they don't actually own it anymore.
