Heard steve say something about that on the pulp mx show. Any idea if its true? The new raceway park track doesnt seem like it has enough spectator area to host a national.

I have not heard much good about the new Englishtown track, The previous track looked epic. I’d hate to see budds see the chopping block, Lots of history there... on the other hand, I don’t see much value in muddy creek. I’d like to see them use the “south east” in a better way, Maybe check out one of the motovateds sports complex tracks in the Carolinas.

Motovated does a great job but they don't have the facilities for a National. The new Motovated 101 would be the closest to that level but I haven't seen what they've done with the place yet, the land looks promising though.

Me personally I would love to see Monster Mountain get a national, they would have to do some work on the entry way to the track to facilitate semis getting back there and definitely would need more camping/pit area.

English town is far from “epic”. The track was a blast to ride, but it was still built in a parking lot. It is a top notch facility, but lacks the elevation change to become a national track IMO.

This. There is absolutely zero natural elevation change. Spectating would also suck because you're essentially looking at the track from the ground floor. It's not like a Unadilla for instance where you can go to the top of the hill in the back and see 75% of the track.

It's very true. Budd's Creek owner Jonathan Beasley posted a long post on facebook not long ago about it, voicing his displeasure with "the first family of motocross". Make of that what you will.

Didn’t he also go on begging people to come to a practice so he could pay off his tax debt from MXoN?

Budds must stay. I use it for "training wheels" for first time National MX attendees. Then I drag 'em to High Point the next year to see how the other half of America lives. I've wondered for years how in the fuck the team semis get into High Point with those bass-ackward one lined "roads".

Budds is so accessible, less than two hour drive from base, and a fabulous layout with some shade trees. Newbies we a' bringing will be 10+ this year.

EDIT: Also, to the mental cripples in the white Tundra that feebly tried to roost our Budds campsite in 2017... We have decided to let our behemoth "Olaf" open your truck with an axe in a manner akin to a sardine can if you try that stunt in 2018. We held him back last year.

I would hate to see Budds go. Great viewing from almost anywhere on the track and ample amounts of shade trees. Really is a great track.

That would truly suck. Budds is a fantastic track, not just for the Nat but it is an awesome local facility.
Beasley will likely be in trouble if he loses the Nat, because like some have said he was saying on FB that he was broke. It sucks- the guy has put blood, sweat and tears into that track for decades. He practically lives on an ATV and tractor. It's hard to match those off-cambers, hills and prime dirt.

It feels like we've been on the X annual (insert number here) last race at Budds for a few years now.

After some of the stuff that was happening this year at Glen Helen (Bud wanted Eli to do a victory lap of the track and high five the VIP crowd...TV be damned), I also wonder if we see a return there.

The old track wouldn’t have made for a good national and that one was 10 times better then the new one. I have yet to hear anyone say it’s good even people who work for them.

He didn't say it was a done deal. Like GuyB said, he's been saying it for a couple years now. This is the quote from Facebook.

We are less than 100 day from the August 18th National, Amateur Days, Fri & Sun. We have heard the rumors every year that it's my last National, this year it may be true. Englishtown has been sold, they are rebuilding their MX track and using the drag strip grandstands, a National can have up to 25,000 permanent seats and they are 45 minutes from NYC.
I have been open insolent to the 1st family of MX telling them to take my National, I'll run a GP. Now they control both series!

Please plan on attending this National, last year was the 1st year it turned a profit since they took Father's Day. The crowd dropped in 1/2 since then, it is only one Degree hotter the third week in August than June. We need to have the biggest crowd every this year, let them take someone else's National.

Plan to come to the Budds Creek National, bring your enemies and just say NO to Stadium Motocross in America. PLEASE SHARE for the future of Natural Motocross, look at the Swiss GP.

Thank you, Jonathan Beasley

Man I would be genuinely sad to see Budds lose the National. Beasley can make that track great and its awesome for the spectators. Good dude too, he thanked me for coming to ride there almost every time I was riding there. Beasley puts some solid sweat equity into that place. It has basically been raining cats and dogs here in Maryland for the last month and I rode Budds the other weekend and the track was amazing, probably some of the best conditions I have seen there. But as others have said it has been said it will be the last one for a few years now, hopefully it isnt true.

I may be wrong but I assume by "the 1st family of MX" he means the Combs' which don't control the GP's at all.. or am I missing something?

I remember last year Davey said most other tracks take pride in having a national and clean the place up beforehand.. Budds Creek on the other hand just lets MX Sports do the work. Tracks like Red Bud, Millville, Washougal all seem to have a cemented spot in the series. Maybe Mr. Beasley should take a look around and realize what other tracks are doing right.

Was he also going to kick Eli a cut of the VIP crowd entry $?

Beasley isn't swimming in money or collectibles like you guys think he is. Ive heard some things at practice days, and had a couple short talks with him. The guy may have some issues, but he is basically a one man show putting in 5-6 days a week and lives for moto. Keep in mind he has to be ~60 years old.

Budds is a great track, great layout, very spectator friendly. ANYTHING etown puts together will be a serious downgrade as far as true motocross and spectator viewing.

If Budds is gonna shut down, every racer who has ever roosted that sweet Maryland loam should kick in a few hundred bucks when it's needed and keep the flame lit, unless you want to see the crown jewel of Mid-Atlantic motocross fade into oblivion. I think it was the USGP that turned the tide for Beasley. It wasn't the wisest business decision, especially since he got slammed for cutting down too many trees or something (Likely due to some bullshit GP requirement). He got screwed in a few ways on that deal, from what I heard, like people selling out space without telling him. This industry can grind you up quick.
The man has his flaws, but he's put it all on the line for Maryland motocross.

I can't tell if Buds Creek just needs a big crowd so He can financially make it or what the deal is.

Johnathan needs a PR person those rambling posts are hard to figure out.

I've heard that about Monster for 10+ years. They've done a lot of work to the facility over that time, is the issue more to do with roads leading to Monster Mountain? That last section of rural county road doesn't look tractor-trailer friendly. That may be what you were talking about though.

What is wrong with needing help to pay off the debt from holding a MXoN? How many people in the industry have put up their own money to hold this event? That statement is pathetic.
