Short track, seemed easy but man it was brutal. Took a lot of riders tonight. Seemed like carnage everywhere all night.

The start made me so nervous the way it turned into that long rhythm section but seemed like everybody made it through that one fine. Otherwise pretty brutal track.

It was strange, but a great race. Very glad it was on tv tonight. Dungey did look "off" tonight, but 3rd is pretty good. (I am a Dungey fan). Bummed for Reed, he was looking great!

Moss looked great tonight also. I haven't checked yet, but hope the race is live next week. Brings a lot more excitement with the East Coast starting.

About time we had a tough challenging whoop section, it separated the top guys from the rest. Makes it a bit boring when you see most of the pack skimming across the tops every lap.

Strange?

More like AWESOME. Its a shame that we probably won't see a whoop section that long for the rest of the year. It reminded me of the good ol days (10-12 years ago Smile )

I thought the whoops were great, definately a mid 90s throwback. But I thought the rest of the track was lame. 45-46 second lap times is a joke.

This same track 10-15 years ago would've been mid to low 50 second lap times, which was normal. It's just progression of the sport.

The design of the track was GREAT, but they need to add laps or (for the 100th time suggesting this) make the race 20 minutes +1 (or 2) laps. Making the tracks shitty by designing them to have short stop and go lanes all over the place is lame. Long whoop and rhythm lanes are the best.

Well thats your opinion. The only thing in your post I agree with is lengthening the mains.
