Besides Daytona, when was the last time we saw laps times over a minute?

Great track, great race!Cool

Just wish Reedy could have gotten that Top 5 - he was SO close the whole time.

I liked the track, but the starting straight every lap was to long with no obsticals. I like a SX track that offers no rest for the riders.

I thought the extra speed added a fresh element to the race. Going fast is more exciting (and interesting) than extra humps, bumps and jumps.

The tracks have been much better this year. Seems like feld has dropped the arenacross track mentality.

That track was awesome. If they ever go back to Chase Field, I'll be pissed. So much better IMO

I agree with that statement. What a track. They do need to add some greenery on the bare parts of the stadium like fake grass or something. Looks incomplete

Who designed it?

And

Did the riders like it as much as we did?

Much more variety and thought into them. Good stuff

Don't know who designed it, but a lot of the riders commented at the race that they liked the track, said it was fun and challenging. Said the whoops were tough.

Agreed, great track! The whoops separated the men from the boys!

Not many options in regards to lines on the jump sections. From when they came back into the building, until the start stretch, they was one line that every rider (in the top 10) did. It was almost blue grooved.

Those whoops though....dang. When half of the 250 and 25% of the 450 guys look like C riders, you know they're huge!!

"this track is mega" -Jeff Emig I agree it was such a grand scale, it seemed like the superbowl of supercross. Just a massive venue, I loved the track going outside and back in.

I liked the long starts, tough whoops and the detour outside the stadium. If there's a criticism to be raised it's that the lanes were too symmetrical on both sides of the stadium, but I'll let that slide.

IMO, this was a great SX track. What I saw Saturday night was 2 things separating the riders: the whoops and the non-SX sections. The way Dungey flattracked that corner before the over-under was awesome. He was much faster than anyone else there and the only one I saw who didn't purposely use the berm.
