Lakewood (Thunder Valley) is still on the schedule. You're thinking of Muddy creek which was replaced by WW Ranch. I could care less about Muddy Creek being replaced as the track has a weird layout and doesn't have the greatest dirt.

I loved Muddy Creek the first year, then it was just boring. Glen Helen should utilize a better layout. Freestone was dope, why did that disappear? Ironman is one they could skip too. Glad they dropped the Utah one. Fun to see Pala back, that track was cool.

I want a rotating schedule of tracks so it’s not the same every year. Excited for the return of Pala and WW was a good GP

Muddy Creek was absolute dogshit. I rode there for close to 6 years and hated every race. Track was garbage, blue grooved as hell, no flow, and the track workers didn't know shit about maintaining it. Glad to see it go, it should've went a long time ago.
I'm with Uzick. A rotating schedule of 15-20 tracks would be nice. My picks would be:
Hangtown
Glen Helen
Pala
Washougal
Freestone
RedBud
Southwick
WW Ranch
Budd's Creek
Miller Motorsports
Thunder Valley
High Point
Millville
Unadilla
Ironman
Muddy Creek (meh)
Gatorback
MillCreek
Ponca
Underground MX
Englishtown
Elsinore
Not sure if all of these would be possible due to parking and shit, but who knows. What about Steel City? Let's get that back up and going.

Hangtown could take a break for awhile that would be nice.

There are seriously too many tracks, maybe MX Sports should set the absolute must-haves for the season as every year (Millville, Redbud, Unadilla, Washougal, Southwick, High Point, maybe Hangtown) and leave the rest of the open slots to rotate tracks every year. It would be a great way to test out new tracks. As cool as most of the tracks are, the schedule is getting a bit stale for me since it’s few and far between that the tracks get major changes to the layout

The must haves and rolling would be fun. What I would like to see yearly:
Millville
Washougal
Freestone
Southwick
RedBud
Glen Helen, if they have a better layout
The rest I could see rotating:
Hangtown
Pala
WW Ranch
Budd's Creek
Miller Motorsports (Utah)
Thunder Valley
High Point
Unadilla
Ironman
Muddy Creek (meh)
Gatorback
MillCreek
Ponca
Underground MX
Englishtown
Elsinore
Millville, Washougal and Southwick always makes great racing and seems like people can work through the pack. Freestone's dope. Old Utah (2013) was cool, didn't like the changes they made later on.

I feel think that they need to change up the track rotation. How dull would that be if they kept the same ol tracks year in and year out? Just don't take Washougal out of the rotation.

The vet race layout was rad. A little dull in the lower section, but bring back Mt. St. Helens!

Yeah. I've watched some old races there and man do they have cool property. Also the lower sx styled section just feels dumb when they have all the cool hills.
