Wouldn't Seattle be an ideal candidate to make a complete sand track, ala the Bradshaw 89 Miami track?

Ship in 100% beach sand or whatever... then the weather wouldn't matter?

They cut down the main event times twice. Races are usually 3 hours long. It's midnight and there's a minute left in the 250 main. How are they going to stretch the next hour?

WTF? I know. Why shorten it that much. I get 12 min + 1, but cut the race in half? C'mon. If its a mudder, it's a mudder.

I get that the track's bad and that there's still another race to go, but to cut the time down so drastically seems like complete overkill... The track's bad but not "unrollable".

If like Thailand GP last year you have a section with 10 guys stuck then that's different.

They're trying to keep motors running.

Only reason I can think of is because the bikes won’t last that long.

I want the 450 main to be 20+1!!!! Those 450s can take it! They have 45 minites left so they cant just run a 12 minute race....

I gotta think the bikes could make it 12+1. i was thinking maybe the track would just be too screwed up for the 450 main. But since they cut the race down so far, maybe they are reworking the track for the 450s in the dead air time??

The crew keeps scraping the top level down. I really think there isn't enough dirt out there to run long enough

If they do 20+1.......3/4 of those bikes wouldn't make it.

I think they're more worried about the broadcast going over the 3 hour time slot.

If the engines blow up well it's part of the sport.

Would be nice to see someone different win the 450 race but I suspect it will be Anderson, Tomac, Moosecan. In that order.

I agree but they have cut it excessively. Surely we can agree on that?
