If there is a thread on this already I apologize; move it if needed.
I almost posted something on Friday when I watched the green arrow track map- why put a whoop section like that right off of the start? I think you are almost just asking for a few pileups- and thats what we got and one that could dramatically change the series.
Even during the race when RV2 was gone there was a couple times when he sketched out a bit, thats going to happen in the whoops and when you have 20 guys trying to blitz them when they're packed tight right off the start its bound to cause problems.
Just hate seeing this shift in points due to a wreck I guess but I think the track builders need to give a couple turns before the riders hit a long whoop section, triple, etc. Maybe a less difficult rhythm or something ...

Dirt looked good from the stands though. Not sure if the riders enjoyed it or not.
Its crashes that the non moto folks come to witness, like it of not.
And Feld is about butts in seats, like it or not.

so they put in a triple after the 2nd corner and we have threads about triples too close.
i don't have the answer, but i don't think the whoops played as big of a part as 3 guys going into the same corner with aggression. Reed got out of control, Grant had nowhere to go, and Stewart was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
it was a racing incident, happens all the time. it just sucks that it was Reed and Stewart (seems like they are always involved with one-another)
After watching that crash take out 3 title contenders in one shot I was left feeling like WTF!? Shitty track design for "racing" and maybe the bikes are way too damn fast for SX. 450's are seriously powerful and can jump the entire section with a seatbounce and 5 feet of run up.
Either that or the field is too deep and that is what happens when you drop the gate and only 3 guys can fit through a section off the start. Dissappointing race in Oakland for the championship run.
