Sorry if missed it, but is this event dust at this point with the evolution of the schedule or are we just taking a break? Seem like things got off-track with Covid.

On break for this year.

It looked awesome on Huntington Beach last year with the Pacific Ocean in the backdrop.

 

All I can remember is Roczen's wicked scrub in that one run.

One would say they are out of rhythm.

Thanks ML...

With the political winds constantly changing, do you see general interest for this event from those riders on manufacturer teams without a modern two-stroke in the market? (ex: Honda/Kawi)

I'd love to see Sexton do this event now on a new KTM.

One of the best races of the year by far...fingers crossed it returns next year!

I really wish Red Bull would make a series with RBSR. Seems like they could easily sell out everywhere.

Honestly I loved the throwback 2 stroke race, and I’m not even a 2T fanboy..

..But KTM and Yam kinda killed it for me - why would anyone want to race a mid 00’s KX, CR, RM..against a brand new KTM?
 

Not to mention brand obligations preventing riders from riding the only modern 2Ts out there

 

This has been my RaceTech rant for today Grinning

HB was a cool venue, but if the RBSR promoters desire future success in the event, they need to get rid of the loud music and commentating during the runs. You couldn't even hear the motorcycles over the music and continuous bullchit chatter from the announcers. Emulate Palmdale 2018 and the event will most likely flourish.

Racing 300s in the 250 class was lame of KTM.

The logistics and absurd amount of insurance would be a complete nightmare but RBSR would be awesome on a downtown street of some kind. Imagine the course in the middle of times square in NYC or on Bourbon street in New Orleans or freemont street in Vegas. Come on Redbull, make it happen!

Good call but no way it could happen on Bourbon Street. Too narrow, way too narrow. Canal St near the river, the Riverwalk or maybe Poydras near the Superdome. Wouldn’t expect the turnout to be worth it though.

 
 Been to most of them and HB was the best for overall atmosphere and crowd and Pamona was an awesome venue and the perfect setup for night racing.

Red Bull did a enduro version of Straight Rhythm in Nashville in conjunction with the TKO Knockout race.
