Pretty wet in spots. Hasn't rained since about 5 AM. Shortened schedule today, they erased the first practiced and bumped everything else back a little bit.

These condensed schedule bullshit because of a little rain annoys the hellout of me. Unless its pouring for more than 4+ hours they should be allowed to run a regular schedule. straight up.

Yep mudders, tracks of different soil type, different obstacle configurations, only make a season better.

It gets really old all of the complaining that people do about the tracks in the past few years.

Rain or Shine!

You either get to the front or you don't. They all start behind the same gate.

Less bike time on the track = better track conditions when it matters.

Get off your high horse, brah. I'm sure you would have a different opinion if you were one of the riders or mechanics.

Nope I rode the great glen helen mudder back in 72! Laughing Laughing Laughing


On a serious note, though.. The ticket stub says rain or shine etc. and i don't mind the track being covered with the tarp. But I do not like condensed schedules for the races, its like straight BS.

Do not give me the mechanic thing, Ive used pressure washers before, its not that hard to clean them off.... Other parts and internals definitely take more abuse, but thats the nature of the beast. I mean, they don't stop the 24hrs of lemans if there is a downpour. (I know there in cars, but the speeds make that more dangerous)

Fyi I also think it was whitelock (He who ruined sx as a whole) who started this shit. I think it was 94 or 95 or 97 idk lol but it was a texas sx.. ran a full 20 and that was a mudder.. idk if they covered the track or not.

Im just saying no condensed schedule.. Run the whole thing.
