Might have missed anything regarding the date for the Monster Energy Cup in 2018 - usually they promo the hell out of it during the current years race - crickets this year - has it been cancelled, put on hiatus or just delay in rolling out the details due to possible date change because of the USGP - just wondering.......

Not sure on that, but I also don't recall seeing anything about 2018 supercross tickets going on sale soon either.

Nothing was said at last years race either. I always bought my tickets for the next years race at the event because you got 50% off your tickets for the next years race and they mentioned nothing last year nor this year

They won't have the Raiders Stadium completed by next year.

I think they wanted to make the Monster Energy Cup to be all about the Monster Energy Cup.

I think tickets for the ‘18 season go on sale next week.

Lets hope it's either canceled or they make some changes.

1. Don't let RC design anymore tracks.

2. Get rid of the joker lane

3. Condense the event timeframe. 3 hours is too long for this event.

4. Ease off on the over hyping of the event. It detracts from it because it simply hasn't delivered over the last few years. It was like watching a very poorly done infomercial.

5. Needs more top riders. Maybe combine the 250 and 450 pros. It was lacking in Star power even though yes Marvin and Eli were both there. Something was lacking in this department...

That's just my take before I turned it off.

1. Track was awesome…jumps of different heights and a challenging rhythm were a nice change.

2. Has consistently added drama. This year I think the coverage made it less interesting than it could've.

3. Use your DVR & fast forward.

4. Maybe lower your expectations? Why on earth should they not promote their event as far and wide and big as they want?

5. Yup—but technically they do combine. But yeah, of course, more participation is always better.

Track sucked. RC has to stop designing it. Gets worse every year. Joker lane was pointless...6 seconds quicker everyone took it at same time. Half the people trying to race were triple digit guys. They promote it was to hard yeah I don’t blame them but that race was soooooo boring all they showed was Marvin out front. Pretty sure everyone will agree on me with the boring part.
