2021 Supercross Season

^^
Agreed on the tracks being tight for the 450s. Seems to make the track kind of one-line as well and takes passing opportunities away. Of course I miss the old L.A. Coliseum races going up into the stands...

 

Wait they have only RACED at Houston so far, let's see how it progresses at the next events

 

I really prefer MX for this reason, but still like the racing I've seen in the last few years as I've started to follow SX.

 

man I’d have to strongly disagree.

every husky I’ve built, the master or slave has failed at some point.

I have not had a ktm been I fail at all.

 

I haven’t had good luck with Magura slave, had two fail and when diagnosing the failures both had seal seats that were out of round. These were very low mile new take offs when I built my ktm. I swapped over to Brembo and never had an issue. I rarely use my lever with a Recluse but couldn’t figure out how air was getting in the system. I’m pretty anal about maintaining by stuff, and yes I back bleed them properly. Turned out both were getting air in the same place, swapped over to a Brembo and never had an issue plus there seems to be a lot better feel with the Brembo to feather the clutch in big rocky stuff. Both my Magura had Magura levers so there was no issue caused by aftermarket levers creating side loading etc.

 

It was THE MAIN REASON, I stopped looking at Huskys. that, and the 800 subframe if you trash it. and the ugly ass 80"s fenders. WTF? Ski

 

I grew up 10 minutes from the Coliseum, those were the days. It was wild watching them go up there, get lost for a sec and come flying down! LOL

 

Definitely, hence my "whiny fan" comment. Utah has the ability to go outdoors, I hope they utilize it.

 

I remember watching when Yamaha brought out the first 4 stroke against all the 2 strokes. Going up that hill and listening to that one 4 stroke with all the 2 strokes sounded really cool. I think it was Henry who led the entire race and stalled it on the last lap and it wouldn't restart.

 

You're thinking Sam Boyd in Vegas. They can't loop it out of the stadium at Rice-Eccles, even before the expansion construction currently under way. There was a whole Olympic plaza in the way as well as the video board poles. Now there will be an expanded seating area with the Olympic plaza.
Only way to loop out of that stadium would be to remove a lot of fence, light posts and handrails and close down the road. Never happen.

 

How amateur are the track staff? 2 weeks in a row with poor flagging and last round we had a jabroni running across a hot track within a second of getting run over.

I know plenty of club racing track controllers that would be losing their shit on that staff.

 

A buddy of mine had his son selected to ride the KTM E bike race on Saturday before the LCQ.

Keegan Schoen

 

Wonder if they’ll show it or do some advertising during.

I’m not an anti-E person. It is the future to allow us to keep racing but they better add a speaker and some braaap noise or it just won’t be the same

 

I want mine to make Tie fighter noises.

 

Lol, I like it.

 

oh! my bad..

anyhow, OPEN THEM UP.

 

This condensed schedule is too much, I'm already tired of trying to keep up. There is such a thing as too much racing

 

Really, it isn't that condensed. Usually, it is racing 17 rounds in 18 weeks (no racing Easter weekend), starting the first or second Saturday of January, and ending on the first weekend of May.

This year they started on the 3rd weekend of January, and are ending the first Saturday in May. they go to a venue, race 3 times in 8 days, then move to a new venue, race 3 times in 8 days. then, new venue, 2 races in 8 days then a week off, one round at Daytona (usual mid point of season).

New venue, 3 rounds in 8 days, then 3 weeks off. new venue 3 races 8 days then, one race each Saturday for the last 2 events.

What is so hard about that schedule? at least we have something to look forward to over the "dark winter" months up here. Ski

 

Looking forward to the ATL round at the speedway. Hoping the track will be at least somewhat close in size to the Daytona SX layout.
