I don't give a shit, give me more races like this one i'll take 25 second lap times versus the hard pack no track change runaways.

Cool that the dirt gave way leaving the riders to search for different lines every lap.
Hats off to Plessinger and his enduro skills eating the track for breakfast.Dungey/Roczen battle was epic, reminded me of the battles we had in the 80's

More of the same boys!

It's kinda cool when there's a little motocross mixed in.

IMO best track and race of the year, and it's not close.

My theory is, shorter track = more practice laps = more chewed up.I still dont think that having the start go the length of the track is wise... they could better utilitze the start if it was going from sideline to sideline rather than endzone to endzone. We dont need a 75 yd start, its not gonna help Tomac or Canard beat Dungey to the first turn. But having a longer track with different rhythms may help a racer with a bad start. Look at Anderson tonight or JS7 at Toronto (2014?).

Anyway, Roczen had Dungey's number tonight which made the racing interesting. Otherwise, it would have been another sleeper.

What's good for tv is bad for racing. Time mains should be brought in, Longer heat races as well. Give the guys more time on track, more exposure for their sponsors and fans more time to see the the riders they support and buy tickets to see race...

No one loses,

The show is pretty linear right now, but there are at least 10 minutes of content that could be cut for more race time in the overall program...

The ratings are pretty good for what the sport is, maybe not in comparison to main stream sports. . but surely good enough to warrant maybe another half an hour for their time slot?

idk.

sucks to only see these guys for such a short time in person............

Few of us were talkin last night that a better show would be to have the top Dawgs on 250's and the "Lights" class on 125's and cut the Semi's and take more from the LCQ and have two 250 Main moto's for the Overall that way you do see more of the riders. I agree with the full length of the floor being the start takes up to much floor that could be used for more track.
Didn't have that problem in stadiums like the Silverdome, damn that place was huge.
Cool to see some racing thou
