What I don't understand is how those guys tuck their ears in their hats. That's gotta' get real uncomfortable in a short time.

CIRF you have recommended me to go to different races and events. If you ever get the chance to see a Supercross race I suggest ya go. TV doesn't serve those guys justice. They'll hit 90' jumps out of corner with both feet off the pegs and one cheek off the seat. It's something to see...true skill. I love it.

zyoung25, I sincerely respect your opinions and will seriously take your advice urging us to attend a Supercross event. Where and when would be the best venue to make an effort to attend? We would be able to attend a Supercross event in the Mississippi Valley region. By that I mean primarily in the Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana as well as Michigan or Ohio. We don't get out to the Pacific West Coast as often as we used to so that might not be an option these days, however
A nephew of mine rode some motocross for a few years in his middle school days and we enjoyed watching that deal so we're not completely oblivious to the whole deal.

I went to Indy and St Louis last year. Going to Indy again this year with a group of friends. If you've never seen Lucas Oil Stadium it's a gear heads dreams. When you walk in there is cars every where. Has all breeds racing equipment hanging from the ceiling. Both places are nice though, I would go to Indy before St Louis just because of the setting.

We just might do the Indy date in March.
We have close friends who live very near The Speedway. We camp in their back yard for the Hoosier Hundred, The Night Before The 500 and the Indy 500 in May. They loosely follow the Supercross deal and said they might could get good tickets.
Problem is, we really don't know what are good seats. I would suspect that all the good ones are gone at this late date. I gotta' believe there are seats that are preferred and those that are just there to be sold to those who merely want to be in the building.
Also, does the crowd stand all the time that the racing is taking place like the half wit's that attend NASCAR Cup racing these days? People standing all day for no apparent reason is one of the main reasons we stopped going to NASCAR Cup races and we refuse to patronize venues that allow this.

We just ours about a week ago and we got decent seats. Last year we got them about 2 weeks before the show and we sat right behind the starting gate and about 17 rows from the bottom. You just don't wanna get too low or you won't be to see everything going on cuz the way the tracks are made. The crowds only stand when the action gets close or if a bad wreck happens in that area. No worse than being at a car race. We've never really had what ya could call a bad seat since we been going. We been going there now about 7 years. It's awesome.

Thanks z.
When I get some tickets nailed down I'll let you know and you can coach me on the finer points of enjoying one of these events.
I spoke with our Indy friends and they are receptive to doing this deal.
We can kill 2 birds with one stone. Go hang with our good friends and hosts of our Memorial Day Weekend Indy area racing/camping trip and do a new and different racing experience.

Alright good deal bud! Have fun!
In case you are curious about how the track may be late out here ya go. We will be sitting in the first corner as soon as they come out if the gate. Not sure on what row or anything yet cuz I haven't seen the tickets yet....just goin by what I was told haha.

After looking at it. I'd say the gate will be in one of the end zones. It kinda varies one which they used. Last year when you cane thru the front main door the gate was off to ur left. I don't know which way it'll be this time. For a first timer I'd try to get somewhere in the in the middle either high in the first section or just anywhere in the middle section. I never have sit above the 2nd section of seats. So I don't know what they're like.

Thanks again z. Appreciate the advice.
I'm going to forward your advice on to our friends in Speedway, IN as they will be getting the tickets. This deal will be here before we know it.

Yea i know. Check out one on TV before you go watch. That way you know who's who. It's nest to watch on TV. But a lot better in person.

Don't wanna come Barrel Rolling into ya'lls convo but, my daughter and I went to the Arena Cross in Cincinnati a few weeks and it was pretty cool.. Could only imagine on a big track like @ Indy... Been wanting to see the Supercross Racin' just haven't made it yet... I used to race BMX and did all the FREESTYLIN' stuff.... Late Model racers race more expensive machines for less payday than dirt bike racers for sure....

I was there that night too. Pretty cool huh? That's about as close as you'll get to seeing a sx race without going to a real one. Those boys beat each other to death, if you get the chance you should definitely go, if you liked the arena cross you'll like the sx. As far as the machines....it's been told the factory teams will put up to 100k in the front forks. They want people to believe you can buy the same thing they race so people will go buy them and say "I got one of those like you see on tv," but there's not much stock on those things except the frame. Ama has a rule you can't modify the frame but the rest is open game, except the motor it has to stay 450cc or 250cc.
