Boring. No, time schedule to keep, little distance to ride. More like an indoor H/S. This is what the FIM wants the ISDE to become.  Stuff like this will ruin Enduro like  Super Cross has ruined outdoor MX. Now all outdoor tracks are like SX tracks instead of GP style tracks. Now they are Jumping contests not racing in the corners.
IMHO,

Dwight,
  Thanks for the excellent comment.  Last time I went to a indoor someone was complaining of the oil smell and that the hotdogs were too expensive.  I remember the days when the spectators had to put up with heat, rain and all the other problems and the riders felt like everyone was there cheering you on(or I did).  Look back at some of the Motorcycle magazine pictures and people(spectators) were really into the racing.  Now I can't tell if people go to see the racing or see someone fall.  I remember the day when you were in a tight race if you fell the spectators had you back on your bike before you could do it yourself.
Thanks Dwight.

One thing for sure I don't belive you would see to many NAC NACS or HEEL CLICKERS like you see now !! I hate the racing we got now and nascar is down the tubes also !! Big Money ruins Racing !! But thats just what I think...

And money ruined bass fishing too.  I was a Charter member of BASS and it started out with great technical information and really great tournaments.  Look at a Bass magazine today and over 60% is advertising.  Fishing line that cost the manufacturer less than a dollar to make ends up at the retail customer at over $12.00.
  Sorry to be off the subject, but grass roots fishing , racing and other similar activities are sometimes inadvertedly changed through people with thoughts of making something great even better.  Once money gets involved...........well the rest is history.
  Go to a good Enduro, Hare Scramble or local Moto-X and see the best racing there is to be seen.

Dwight,
You are right on in what you said about the sport of MX being ruined. I hope this event makes no effect on on the current Enduro events at all. I see it as a better challange to Super Cross. Super Cross is boring and no challange to the riders. I would like to see Bubba Stewart or Ricky C. On a vintage bike and riding the old style MX. I'm sure it would be an eye opener.
