Just watched the replay as I couldn't watch live last night.

I don't think I have ever seen a SX race with that many pit stops. It seemed more like a NASCAR race. 3-4 guys in the mechanics area at a time. Was it a full moon in Dallas?

I was there. It was more like a demolition derby.

The 3 short straights that started with the blind triple were brutal. Really more like an arenacross track in that part of the track. Lots of crashes. Even more almost crashes after so many came up short.

At least they tamed the whoop section down after qualifying. It was really gnarly at that point.

More injuries and bike issues than I can remember in a long time yesterday.

Yea I said to my buddy while watching that it looked like a stretched out AX track. I'm assuming the whoops that got tamed down was the second stretch of them? They still looked hucka-bucka-licious from certain angles on the broadcast..

Loved the pit stop action, go ahead and make it mandatory.

The track looked great from TV, not all rutted out and lots of painting stripes with tires on entrance and exits of hard packed turns. The whoops looked reasonable and non rutted, the jumps seemed to have smoother less peaked landings than the rest so far.

The second set of whoops caused a LOT of crashes in practice. There was something between the middle or the end of the section that unsettled the back end and it was swap city from there out. Dungey looked TERRIBLE in the second set of whoops in practice.

The triple in the end zone area was eating bikes and people and spitting them out lol like three dudes came together in one of the 250 races. Was ugly.

There were 4 guys come up short on that triple in the first 250 heat. The top of the landing had frame marks in it all night and the corner right after got a deep rut in by the end of the first lap for every race. This was the most action packed race as far as crashes and extremely odd occurrences that I can ever remember. Guess I picked a good first one to take my wife to. We sat right in the corner after the triple and got a close up off all the carnage there. Hopefully they stop having day races in AT&T stadium. The sun was killing guys coming into that second whoop section
