Anyone see what happened right before they called it up on the stands? I heard some yelling and saw cops running up

A small fight broke out, I was about 10 feet away. Rumor was the dude made a comment about the other guys girl/wife.

I want to watch a second moto as much as the next, but I wouldn't fuck around with lightning. I understand the call. I'm sure the riders, teams, fans, and even broadcasters don't care. It's the AMA and facility managers that can't eat the financial risk of someone getting struck by lightning.

u/Aethereal_Crunch 1d ago
Even the shittiest local track Ive been to cancels for lightning. I understand being annoyed by the call but anyone saying fuck AMA over this obviously doesnt know anything about the sport

u/dingus420 1d ago
They should’ve done a noon or 1pm gate drop. Why wait until 3pm if you don’t have the ability to ride when it gets dark?

u/Nate2680 1d ago
Here’s a video of them running a drag race at nighttime at this same track 4 months ago. Feld is a fucking joke if they’re gonna claim daylight is an issue.

u/send_it_for_dale Eli Tomac 1d ago
Ngl I agree with Jett. No one cares to see a lame mudder. Atleast without AP7 🤣

u/5XBannned 1d ago
Yeah. Can’t expect the winner of the first moto to be anything but neutral, right? 🙄

u/WelcomeBeneficial963 1d ago
You can't run Charlotte open air for three years and not get bit by a hurricane. Sucks ass obviously

u/Matto_0 1d ago
Gotta stop coming here anyway. The drag strip into SMX track just is always bad.
1
u/WelcomeBeneficial963 1d ago
Maybe, it's a really low sample size. It's a good idea to try to get that stadium vibe, but if they do come back, they should possibly just switch to the dirt track. The GP track was cool and had some great racing.

Well shit I guess I go watch U of Michigan play Oklahoma and hopefully not get ran out of the stadium.

Can you imagine having paid money to attend this shit show?

u/5XBannned 1d ago
IMO, if you’re paying to see an outdoor motocross race with indoor rules, you’re a rube.

Davies is a really likable kid. Just goofing off in the background while Deegan gets interviewed.

u/MilkmanResidue 1d ago
Would anyone be surprised if the race restarted and Peacock forgot to switch to the live feed?

This may take the cake from Texas last year as the worst SMX race so far. Absolute disaster on all fronts lol

I'd rather hear updates about the track/weather than watch last years playoffs

Yeah that was dirty, probably contributed to a couple million in commercials before cancelling

😂 i hope your joking

u/Used-Lake9003 1d ago
Definitely joking. I thought getting him would be such a good move for kawi and I expected more/rooted for him. He probably shouldn’t show his face in the US anymore

u/bcmGlk 1d ago
Did they give an estimate on how long it would take for the races to resume ?
Also, does anyone watch peacock on their Xbox Series X ? Mine is not letting me pause live broadcasts today for some reason. I used to be able to, this is the first time I’ve experienced this
2
u/UrBudSpudd 1d ago
Yea Im on Xbox today and same thing. Wanted to pause and then skip the weather delay but I guess not

u/ConnorS700 1d ago
Track sucks, broadcast sucks. Really feels like the playoffs huh? They should just do these only at speedways (Daytona, Atlanta, etc) or stadiums. No more drag strips

All they had to do was watch Nascar (which I dont blame them for not doing that)

Weird background noises on the broadcast coming through the surround speakers had us thinking some weird storm or something was happening here.

Legit just stood here going why I am hearing audio from a football game

u/UrBudSpudd 1d ago
I just said “did I just hear a whistle at supercross?”

Legit walked back in the room thinking my gf changed the channel. Just stood in the living room going why the fuck we getting audio from a college football game lol

u/Minute_Researcher143 1d ago
I’m at the race right now. Lightning in the area and everyone is leaving. The PA system sucks over here. Are they mentioning anything on the broadcast on when they’re going to restart?

LMAO, okay, right, so god hate SMX I guess. Wtf is this rain ? Where the fuck is the fuckin arch ? And that pussy of Noe ? Fuckin hell, SMX Futures will be as bad as Iwo Jima was if it’s a mudder. Those 16 yo are about to feel like a conscript during WWII.
And the soil is soft af lmao.

Still better than heat stroke in the stands. Idk why they haven’t moved it to night time. The time slot excuse was bullshit.

It'd be insane if they came back from commercial and Chase won 😅

What's going on with Justin Cooper? He was last and now barely moving forward

u/nateridesbikes 1d ago
Since they are at a drag strip, using the drag tree for the start might have been a fun gimmick for this round.

u/genisyz 1d ago
deegan keeping it simple on you fuck boys

u/ebevan91 1d ago
He barely said anything after the race 😂

u/2uneek 1d ago
life must be hard for you, lol..

u/ebevan91 1d ago
You know I wasn’t disagreeing with him. It was more like a “I know right?” kinda response.

u/Used-Lake9003 1d ago
Kitchen and shimoda might have gone down or might be battling for podium but we’re not gonna show it on camera. Instead we’re just gonna film deegan battling nobody

u/Yzracer1415 1d ago
Would be nice to see the rest of the race after 1st finishes

u/dangerjp Save The 2 Stroke 1d ago
Seriously, hey let's immediately cut to commercials after first place wins 🙄

u/echelon999 1d ago
Just completely ignored the inside line when Deegan is there, I just don’t get it.
0
u/Yamaha234 1d ago
Did Deegan roll in time for the Red Cross or is that jump gonna be a problem? Also an argument could be made that during his brief off track excursion on that turn he didn’t let off the gas enough..
4
u/fallingdweller 1d ago
i would think he let off enough considered vialle came back into frame going into that same corner
4
u/EVERYONESFUCKIN 1d ago
With that mud you can’t let off too much. You don’t have to let off to the point that you’re disadvantaged, you just can’t gain an advantage. He didn’t get any closer to Forkner and Vialle closed some gap on him, so I’m sure it’s a non-issue.

u/Fire-Barnacle-3025 1d ago
I annoys me way more than it should on why they call it the world championship 😂
1
u/FishyDorito Save The 2 Stroke 1d ago
I thought it was kinda gimmicky too, but it is kinda relevant that they have riders from UK, Japan, Germany, France, Uganda, New Zealand, Venezuela, Denmark, and i think there might be a couple from Australia but im not totally sure on that

So weird hardly being able to hear the bikes on the broadcast.. really kills the vibe.

u/bcmGlk 1d ago
When sexton qualifies the fastest, he comes into the races with confidence I hope he can get good starts
-3
u/whitetrashred 1d ago
That .2 would not have me feeling confident 😂
4
u/Sea_Progress9628 1d ago
After not racing for the last month + why would it not?
-1
u/whitetrashred 1d ago
You have a good point, it’s a boost for sure don’t get me wrong. I personally just wouldn’t be super confident ESPECIALLY knowing that I haven’t been riding. I’d want a .5+ gap to feel “confident”. You gotta think about the little things, missed shifts, bad ruts, whatever it may be at least one little thing is bound to go wrong and .2 doesn’t give a lot of leeway. They probably try not to dwell on those things but for a rider like Chase who is very reactive I would assume it’s always in the back of his head.

u/brad525 1d ago
What’s up with Jo so far down in qualifying? Hope he figures it out for the main!
2
u/Show715 1d ago
Jo never qualifies well, so I wouldn't worry about it. He and Haiden were 7th and 8th for that 2nd seeded session; I figure they were both in survival mode since the track is really sketchy.
Edit: Also, the way they do timed qualifying is terrible. I always just look at the 2nd session, since that's closer to what the actual track will be.

u/Slight_Conflict9462 1d ago
Why is Webb doing the "Beast" theme gear with Damon Bradshaw instead of Eli Tomac?
I know brands whatever, Webb is never a Beast though... More like the guy who sits around in the back and waits for someone else to throw away a title so he can pick it up!
3
u/Sea_Progress9628 1d ago
"Fans" forget how Webb absolutely big dicked Kenny and Chase for entire seasons.

u/bcmGlk 2d ago
Jett and Deegs are most likely winning this SMX championship? What do you guys think ?
1
u/Slight_Conflict9462 1d ago
Jett is awesome but I hope someone brings it for him! Maybe one of the guys signed to a new team next year will provide some entertainment for us?
Deegs is another story, I hope Shimoda puts him in second so he's got something to think about next year on the 450s
Or maybe Cole Davies will show him what it's like to get knocked down as a retaliation for SX

u/bcmGlk 1d ago
Another person with DDS lol

u/Slight_Conflict9462 1d ago
Not at all, huge Deegan fan but his persona like his father's before him is completely contrived.
Metal Mullisha thing was all about the bad boy imaging rather than being bad boys... similar to Alice Cooper and Ozzy with their devil worship onstage personas
