1 month ago | racerxonline.com | Davey Coombs

Welcome to Racerhead, coming to you on a blessed off weekend. We’re in between Monster Energy AMA Supercross, which ended in Salt Lake City, Utah, last Saturday night, and the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, which begins next Saturday at Fox Raceway at Pala in Southern California. It’s a quick turnaround, so it’s not exactly an off weekend for the riders and teams. Jason Thomas will have more on that below.

Welcome to Racerhead, and here we go again! The rinse-and-repeat continues into another weekend of Monster Energy AMA Supercross, as once again it's under the threat of some rainy weather.

Welcome to another Friday, another Racerhead and another round of Monster Energy AMA Supercross that is threatened by weather. The series is near Boston at Gillette Stadium, which, like Lumen Field in Seattle last weekend, is an open-air venue without a roof. The same week of rainy weather that greeted everyone in Seattle went with the big rigs across the northern highways of the country to Boston. But if we get a rinse-and-repeat of last week’s race, we’re good—really good.

Welcome to Racerhead, and welcome to weather challenges in Seattle. Monster Energy AMA Supercross is out in the Pacific Northwest, where it's pretty much been raining all week. The SMX Track Crew has been on rain-footing all week, getting about 85 percent of the track built on Tuesday, then finished Wednesday morning, and the track's been covered in plastic ever since. They also made several tweaks to the original design, taking a few of the end zone lanes out to make it all more manageable.
