Been around the sport for a while so don't need a lecture but serious answers.
That race was just brutal to watch. It sucked. No fun to watch, no fun for the riders. Just awful.
I understand there are complications from postponing a race such as travel already paid for, bikes and people and fans already there, etc. However, Nascar does it so it can be done.
First, I am not sure if it's the best idea to move the race to the end of the series or postpone until Sunday or Monday or Tuesday. I would rather it be from a fan perspective but it is part of motocross. I would be curious though how hard it would be and what the riders and teams think about it.
I just don't like watching races like that. Just ruins it.

NASCAR also has an open calendar for their top level series. There are amateur races scheduled for Sunday at Ironman.

I thought i had seen it all when i read the post where a guy said Kennys title should have an "*" because of the mud.
Now this.
I can go as far as saying a delay can be put out if there are thunder storms, snow or weather that can put riders and spectators at risk but a little mud or rain wont kill you.
Several lines developed early in the 1st 450 moto ,by the end good dirt was turning up in numerous corners.
It looked bad because a lot of riders can whip and scrub but cant ride.
A race like today is how you can tell who the more versatile riders are. I personally love it. To me SX is boring, they spend half the time in the air.
Pit Row
doesn't mean I like them though...
Although sometimes they are fun to watch like Daytona SX when poor Ol' Reedy blew it up 2 turns from the checkers and still went on to win the SX title
I mean I am leaning more toward no it should not be postponed. I was just curious what others thought. I mean if it's completely unrideable then yeah of course they will but that wasn't the case today.
I think one mudder during supercross is good for the sport too.
