AMA Supercross has left Fox Sports Network and moved to NBC Sports Channel, I am sure Supercross got a better deal financially but the fans are screwed. First race is January 4th 2019.
Most of the fans of Supercross have to watch the races from home, few of the races are near most of us, especially if you live on the east coast. That being a fact, NBCSC is delaying the broadcast of 7 of the races. The Nashville race, for example, is delayed until 11PM EST. My wife and I love Supercross but we are not going to watch until 3 in the morning races of which we know the results.
Now NBCSC has a fix for this delay issue!
For the small fee of $75 you can watch all the races LIVE on line, imagine that! Well no thanks, we will pass. As an aside… I think NBC’s coverage of most sports is poor so I am hoping for the best with Supercross.
So now we get delayed, sometimes by weeks, broadcast of American Flat Track and now Supercross. NBC does hate motorcycle racing!

World Superbike in Portimao. Rea does it again and again.
Yamaha has a lot of changes going and it is not all good. Dropping double digits in sales, dropping supersport road racing in America, our take on what is going on.
Supercross 2019 schedule is out and there are 3 new stops!
Tom Sykes where is he going at the end of the year.
This past weekend I attended the Virginia International Raceway stop of MotoAmerica. Phil and I drove, 4 hours, to check out the action of this year’s motorcycle race. This is the first time I have attended a professional motorcycle race in person. I had a great time and learned a few things along the way. In no order ….
1. The track is a lot steeper in person then on TV. Wow the elevation change on the back side of the track had to be at least 300 feet top to bottom, with a couple “S” turns tossed in. There was not many attempted passes in that section, it would take super skill or brass ones to pull it of downhill at 130MPH.
2. Phil may still be “persona non-gratia”. If you listen to DawgHouse Motorcycle Radio you know Phil has been hard on MotoAmerica over the last year. Not for the motorcycle racing but for the seemingly lack of effort to entice fans to the events. More on that below. But anyway, I put in for media credentials for both Phil and myself, I got the “hard card” ID like badge and Phil got an armband and they misspelled his name. LOL
3. The “Air Wall” works as advertised. Hayden Gillim crashed right in front of us coming out of turn 3, sliding right into the 
Air Wall. I would guess he was going 80-90MPH when the motorcycle slides out from under him. Hayden got up and walked away, though the spectators, not sure that would have been the case with a stack of tires.
4. When you are standing near the motorcycles when they launch off the starting line it is faster and louder than on TV.
5. Fox Sports 1 must get better ratings for a regular season baseball game then the Championship motorcycle race for SuperCross. Baseball pre-empted about 20 minutes of SuperCross and that made us cross.
6. Virginia International Raceway is a great facility for racing. In addition to the track there is a small hotel and condo on site. The view of the track is good, except where they had to put up advertisements for the TV cameras, but that is money and money is why they have a good facility.
7. MotoAmerica is getting better. There was a lot going on at track between races, stuff for kids, 
scattered corn hole games, the WALL of DEATH, vendors, and the spectacle of the race bikes getting worked. It is a lot more then there has been in the past. BUT, there seemed to be a more than a few cars from the DC, Maryland area based on no advertising in the Washington DC region. What would they get if they actually tried to recruit fans to VIR?
8. My phone and sunlight do not mix. I tried to do a few Facebook Live events during the weekend and then came of OK at best. I will have to take OK as I could barely see my screen and at times had no idea if the recording was on or off! Oh well.
9. The visceral feeling as the race started or flew by. TV, at least for now, just cannot replicate that feeling as dozen high powered motorcycles scream off the line or through a turn just 25 yards away. WOW
A few posts ago I wrote my thought on the new electric motorcycles that Harley Davidson is bringing to market in the next couple years. Now there is more information available and that got me thinking. (RUN for the hills)
First a little catch up for those that might have missed it. Harley Davidson has invested in Alta Motors whose claim to fame is 
the Redshift MX (the equivalent of a 250cc motocross bike) that has won some of the Red Bull Straight Rhythm races. Alta also has SuperMoto bike, but I did not see it on their website. Alta and Harley are going to work together to bring two electric motorcycles to market under the Harley colors. The name of the new bike(s) is Revelation.
Now here is where my Revelation comes in!
I was thinking that this would be an interesting twist on the Harley Davidson involvement with American Flat Track. Harley
does not have any motorcycles in the singles Flat Track series. Soooooo
Why not enter a Harley team on the new electric motorcycles? Could you not see Shayna Texter and Kolby “Flying Tomato” Carlile wining on Harley electric bikes?
BUT WAIT… There’s more!
During this week’s DawgHouse Motorcycle Radio podcast (show #453), my buddy Phil tossed a greater even better idea out before I could even get started, and I fully agreed with his idea!
Harley Davidson should run an exhibition race between the heats at “SUPERCROSS” for me…. MIND BLOWN. Phil hit 
this out of the park.
Yes, Harley has not had dirt bikes for years. BUT WHY NOT! What a way to get a product (already proven) in front of people and get them thinking of Harley electric motorcycles. If they are talking about your electric dirt bikes they may come in to see your electric street bikes!
What would you think about seeing 20 of the top amateur supercross riders racing on identical dirt bikes with the Harley name? On national TV every week for the entire Supercross season, with commercials for their electric motorcycles sprinkled about.
As I see it… what the heck… do both! Harley Davidson electric motorcycles racing Flat Track and doing exhibition Supercross racing WOW!!!
What do you guys think? (I reserve the right to poo-poo on any negative comments 😊 )

We talk about the Supercross from San Diego!!!
There was some wild racing action on a very tight track. The layout forced some hard racing both in the 250 and 450s! That tight track resulted in some of the most aggressive passes of the season, most were all just part of the race but not all. The biggest event of the night was Ken Roczen crashing into Copper Webb just after Webb had executed a hard but fully straight up pass. Roczen was not going to have any of that and tried to retake his position with a hard pass of his own. BUT, Phil and I think that his injuries from last season prevented him from controlling the motorcycle and CRASH, BANG, BOOM!
Roczen gets the worse of the feud with a broken hand and out of the race. Webb had some real damage to his bike but managed to stay in the race but finished near the bottom. Turns out that Webb and Roczen have some real hard feeling that have even spread to the social media. What are they feuding about…a girl of course! Turns out that Webb is dating Roczen’s ex… opps.
OH… and we talk about the racing to just not the crashes (like Boggle acting as a aircraft carrier landing strip).
Stay Classy San Diego!

THIS is hard to believe! Phil wants to punch his man-crush, JD Beach, in the face! Phil is upset that Jiggy Dog did not race in the Oakland Supercross. Which he would have totally won had he entered!
There is going to be a World Superbike Race in Ireland for 2019. Does that mean that they are going to drop another race or just add another stop?
Supercross finally gives us what the DawgHouse has called for, an early start to a west coast race. It was so early that Warren missed the early heats! Big P, Aaron Plessinger and Jason Anderson take care of business while Eli Tomac still struggled
CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE SHOW!!!!
I JUST WANT 2 RIDE!!
