Think it needs its own topic.
Yes, it's another "back in my day" reply. BUT... I am a little surprised about the lack of willingness to race in a mud fest. Yes, they had rain outs back when we had drum brakes and power valves, but now that everyone is riding tractors that can easily make it through deep mud, no one wants to do it. Riding in mud does take a different kind of talent (like sand) and since tracks in Ohio cancel when it starts to get a little cloudy, no one around here has that skill any longer. This was one of the few skills that Ohio (Midwest) riders had over the Cali boys when it came to Loretta's. Every year atleast one moto is a mud bog at the ranch. Now Ohio racers suffer just as bad in the muck as the westcoasters.
The video of RedBud this past weekend reminds me a lot of a day at the ranch in the 80's. Basically rivers flowing across the track. So much watch that the bike really is not that muddy at the end of the moto cause it was like racing in a carwash. I always thought that kind of mud was fun. Just keep your feet on the pegs, set back and hold it wfo!
I know "bike are so expensive". Blah blah blah. It motocross. Mud is part of it.
Don't you have fun in the mud? Then why not race in it? Let's hear your mud stories.
