Definitely something about the track tonight... was it the seemingly wider turns?

Football stadium I think made a difference. I liked the sand section before the over under. That big turn made for some good racing

450 race was great. Best race in years minus tomac running away with it.

This was the best racing of the season so far, even with Tomac laying a spanking on them. Track was multi line and the 180's were wide.

+1. Great track, lots of lines. Particularly the start- most gates had a good shot at a decent start. Best one of the season for sure. Hope the trend continues. Bigger stadium had to help.

Awesome all night long. Every race was really fun to watch. Some of them were the best I've seen in a while.

Can't get much better than tonight's racing, the 450's put on a helluva show for the first time in awhile. I did miss Roczen not lining up.

Is it no surprise the larger layout let the 450's ride way better, even helped the 250 imo

Agreed. I was there and it was some of the best racing I've seen and I've been going to SX since the mid 80's. Everyone there was saying the track, the racing, everything was awesome from the heats to the semis to the mains.

Hell yeah! Best overall nite in a while, edge of my seat both mains!

Well... There were alternating 180s and long lanes... always a good start!

Best track I've seen in years.
Well done on making the first sand section that worked for multi lines !!!

Going back to qualifying, the top 10 were no more then a second from 1 through 10, the track finally allowed the most stacked field ever to race each other, if most stay healthy this looks good for outdoors!

I really liked it as a spectator. Bunch of rhythm options, different lines through the turns, and the start straight to the mechanic's area to sand section offered a lot of excitement too. Like others mentioned, this was great to watch even with Tomac slaughtering the field.

It was a great track and despite the Tomac runaway great racing throughout the field.

Agreed, lost some enthusiasm after first 2 rounds, but last night was like a whole other level.

I just finished watching on youtube and my first thought was it looked like a 90's layout.

It was great in person, action everywhere, the stadium is huge and there isnt a bad seat in the house. Watching reed in the whoops is amazing!!! He was faster through the rythm section prior and would gain a couple bike lengths everytime... the ole man still has it!!!

Great racing. Mostly camera work was better showing us the action and yes track was sweet too. Lots of great battles and you could feel the energy.

That looked like a real supercross track! Multiple options in the rythm lanes and a start long enough to give most gates a good shot.

Overtaking > jumping.

One day, race track designers will get this.

The other tracks were short little straights with a lot of turns, that type of track is slower and pumps you up more because of stopping and going.

Tomac being more of an outdoor rider likes those big long straight sections, higher speeds and less turning.
