I'm feeling Bradshaw, I got one and haven't raced with it. He's like "come one I just got one!"

I personally like this idea of "undisclosed location", but Jeff Stanton gave away the biggest clue, it took him 2 hours to drive there.

So, put a dot in Sherwood Michigan, draw a 2 hour circumference circle, and look all night long on Google Earth and you may find the track. Or wait a day or two, we we for sure know before the end of the week.

It is definitely not in NY

MFK, is this something that will only be available live, or will it be archived on the app? It'll be mid-morning here in Japan when it's live, and I'm not sure I'll be able to tune in due to work.
That wouldnt work. Villopoto was nowhere to be seen in the early 2000's when myself Dennis Jonon and Mike Alessi were very far ahead of him.

Just make sure none of you yahoo's go out there and try to watch. We don't need it getting shut down. Smile

No, holeshot devices are bullshit in professional racing. Why make it easier? I was glad to hear some pushback on them during the preview show. I was also glad to hear Glover talk about electric starters and remind everyone that back in the day when it was a man's class you actually had to kick your bike to start it.

Not to mention there was a very real possibility that those beasts would kick back and almost break your leg. I know I had a moment or twelve with a certain KX 500 back in the late 80's.

The smack-talk session was awesome. Love seeing the older guys from my "era" mixing it up with the youngsters.

I hope this catches on and we see more moto heroes join in for more races down the road.

Laughed out loud at that part....Glover the elder laying down the smack! I personally wish mx bikes had stayed kick-start. I remember having to "run" to your bike, kick-start it and then go.

Fireside chat was the best thing ever. A lot of crap-talking but a lot of humility.
It's safe to say anybody that tries to show up and ruin this event will be seen as mortal enemy of the motocross community forever. I know I'll be pissed.

Already heard of someone trying to go check it out and they had it pretty well blocked off with security that told them to leave. I’m about 45 min away.. would be so sweet to be able to go. Dammit

well that wasn't too hard to find, interesting facility choice, should lead to good bracket racing due to short lap times.

That round table started a little slow but it warmed up excellently haha

Also poor Alessi was kinda left out then Bradshaw tried his best to bring him in but the holeshot device debate took over haha

Don't "2020" this thing on us. There has been a lot of shitiness this year already. Please don't add to it.

Would be amazing to go watch, but no way I'm risking it for everyone else.

Bahah hell why bother with suspension these day’s if the real men had to deal with fee inches of travel Whistling progression is the devil. Get off my lawn. Kids these days. Back in my day we walked to school and it was uphill both ways.


On a more serious, less geriatric note, are people seriously going to try and go to the track and ruin it for everyone else? Surely not,

Seems a bit unfair to have active Pro racers against these retired guys. Maybe next time have 2 divisions. Still will be fun event for a good cause.
