Only $10 for all 2024 SX, MX, and SMX series (regularly $30).
The Teams and riders would have to figure out how to make the machine last.
Only other solution is stop having races at open air stadiums that are known for regular rain fall.
Mud is where a decent B class Enduro guy could win SX main.

2. How many bikes were smoking when they crossed the finish-line last night?
3. Are you mad, bro?
burnt clutch fluid (like most oils) willbe bluish in color and vaporized coolant will be white in color.
...and when you see smoke from a clutch failure, that's the fluid being burned, not the fiber plates (which will burn as well- you know the smell.
and the reason you run out of adjustment is because the plates have EXPANDED from heat. not wore down.
where do you even come up with this shit? just make it up?
you don't know shit...so stop talking like you do.

I would like to know what the oil temp was in those bikes. You really gotta rev a bike to keep it moving in that crap. No airflow from the mud. Everyone cooked their engines in some way.
I was pretty bored watching it to be honest. Makes me wonder why they even do this in open air stadiums and even more why Seattle has an open air stadium!
There was another one that might’ve been the same (Budds Creek maybe?)-I remember there being mini-rivers running down the track, 2009-later if memory serves.
There was some major rivers running across the track back at hangtown, also at the Nationals it can be a bitch to get rigs out of the park once the mid sets in.
Last nights race just seemed like a good old mudder. The track seemed to be holding up pretty good. I really enjoyed it and wish it would have gone on longer. I love seeing riders conquer brutal conditions and some of them did a hell of a job last night
I'm glad they didn't cancel last night , but running an SX track is a lot different then the outdoor tracks.
And for those of you who said " they are the big dogs and make a lot of money "......how much do you think it cost the privateer's and lower budget teams last night? There were bikes that basically got destroyed , and dudes on a shoe string budget just did more damage to their equipment in one race.....then what a normal 4 - 6 rounds would have.
Just be glad you ain't flipping the bill.
