@welker ...raced for along time in Colo and Wyo....rain and wind (and snow) that would blow you off the bike ...never saw one postponed or stopped. We lined up ,we went. The odds of a high point boot lightning strike must be about the same as a shark jumping out of a berm and eating your Jofa.

I understand weather delays, but NBC and Fuel are doing a horrible job this year and the local cable companies aren't much better. For years motocross gets booted by Hockey and F@$king Nascar. I am so sick of it. It was best on speed. NBC has always sucked. I remember back in the 80's they dubbed in motor noises and screeching brake sounds. I mean, wow?
