I went to the National Motocross race Saturday. A group of us desert riders decided to go to the race. Got there at 9 am paid $20 for prefered parking. Got to the gate $40 to get in and another $10 for a pit pass........for a minute I thought I was at a NA$CAR race. It looked like someone has spent some bucks on the MC track. Lots of new infrastructure and the course was long 1.5 mi. Some crazy jumps and the course was fast. For spectators it was good for viewing, you could walk around to see all of the track. I don't know how many people were there but by 1 pm it was asshole to elbow. We got a good spot to watch the race from took our ez-up for shade. All and all not bad.......except for the heat. There were areas you could park a motorhome in almost every section of the track $350.00 from thursday to sunday. Food prices were off the chart can of beer $10..........no coolers in the park. Oh did I say it was HOT. For a event like this I thought most people were well mannered. We went back to the truck to eat the lunch we brought with the AIR on the temp said 107. I saw a chick with a 2 infant stroller with 2 new borns....that is borderline child abuse. We left after the first 2 races 250/450 just to HOT. Got home to watch it on TV sitting in the pool drinking a beer. The TV just doesn't do justice to the track.....some places were rough and you didn't get that on the tube. Would I go again maybe, but it would have to be in the 70's.
If you went what was your experience ?
