Doesn't look that bad to me. We need a gnarly mudder. I wish I was still racing. The worse, the better. Like Millville RC lapping the field type. I'd be loving it like a Supersized McGriddle Sandwich combo breakfast.

Looks like you will get your wish and it will definitely shake up the points. Unlike you, I do not wish to race in that-at least anymore. Too old, too fussy!

Hopefully it's a tail wind. Where doubles become quads and the Monster girls skirts will be lifted enough to become a better side show.

You’re telling me a city that rains over 30% of the time doesn’t have a closed dome? Rational.....

I'm down for a "novelty race" of sorts... Just hope it doesn't get so gnarly that they have to shorten the races

Can a supercross get canceled? Almost looks close to that point.

I was wondering that after seeing record high winds are predicted. Hope the weather man is wrong and it doesnt get canceled

Lightning would certainly cause a cancellation in an open stadium.

Does this storm call for lightning in the area?

Still seems trivial to me that they have a race in a part of the country where on a good year it rains till late May early June, and they slap it in the worst season of the year. Either move the race earlier into the year so they can have it in the baseball stadium or make it the penultimate round and pray for weather.

It will never be in Safeco.

Going to see who can really ride in the nasty stuff. SX/MX should never be canceled, this isnt nascar.

I know, im just saying something has to happen. Every year us PNW get shafted because the weather sucks ass. Not only do we pay hundreds of dollars to get into the race, but we get rained on all night and watch a slopfest.

When I pay big bucks to get my family in, we should be able to watch the fastest guys on earth do just that, go fast. I don’t wanna pay all that money to watch these riders tip toe around a swamp in the middle of a stadium. I’d rather stay home and watch on TV with a cheap beer in my hand.

They should just leave the whole thing flat with no jumps and a really simple layout. It would be more entertaining.

High wind is for the coast line not downtown in town maybe 35mph winds. This is the first round in awhile it's really rained good. Some real cry babies on here. What happened to support the sport oh wait thats only for vital posts.

It was dry last year and they shortened the mains. I'd assume this year will be shortened as well.

Supercross in mud is lame, especially attending in person.

I’m north of Seattle about 60 miles and it’s been raining for like 3 days pretty much non stop.

Supercross will be lame with that attitude. I do agree though it's a hassle sitting in the rain and not knowing who's out front.

Hey Bowser, remember when you tried to take me out when I was like 15 and I checked up and you crashed? Good times...

I stopped riding in the mud the day I started paying for my own bikes and parts. Growing up I didn't mind riding in the rain/mud and actually found it pretty fun. Washing the bike on the other hand, not so much fun.

As for SX in the mud it's not that bad if it's not super wet/sloppy but other than that it's boring watching them all follow eachother, feet paddling, riding the main line. Not exciting.

That said the outdoors are just around the corner and I don't mind watching a mudder or two of those.
