Glad to see it looks different than the past few years but I was hoping to see a longer set of whoops

Looks a lot better than last year, which was the worst daytona track ever.

do not crash 100 ft off the start gate or you will get ran over! please pass this along to all the riders.

Far out looks so much better then previous years. Actually putting the space to good use this year.

I remember those! Had them in 82 & 83 for sure. The mighty RM465 handled them with easeCool during amateur day.

I feel like it looks bigger than previous years, like the timed mains allowed them to put more into the design.

Looks great. Super fast in a few areas and tight in others but overall should be good. Daytona is always great...except for last year.

Problem is, we all know that we need long lanes for racing opportunities... especially with four strokes where the inside line is now no longer really a concession...

BUT, with four strokes, if you have long lanes, they're going mach 10 into supercross obstacles and clearly there is a mandate to slow the riders down, regardless of timed mains. Why else would you consistently create short half-length lanes when you've just recently had an example of the great racing provided by a "bigger" track...

The answer is slow the bikes down and let the riders race... but. Well, we're fucked.

I agree, was hoping for some really long lanes. Difficult to gauge scale from the pic but none of the lanes looks very long. Be interesting to see how beat-up the track is by 450 main!

All those tight switchbacks really make passing nearly impossible. I was there last year, walked the track with JT and he said it, and sure as shit he was right. Finish line jump looks like a Wall!
The start will have a nice little sand berm/rut in it from the races unless they groom it every moto.

They need to carve out a 50yd by 100 yd space there and create a normal SX track. This has almost become Straight Rythm with nasty switchbacks. Not So Straight Rythm?

Switchback sections breed one line. Inside-inside.

Bummed on the lack of long whoops but otherwise looks much more like Daytona of old.

Is there a rocks section? Instead of sand for a change?

No it will take them plenty of time to get through the rock garden on the loop. They will have time to pull the body's off!!!!!!!

but really, it looks great, but as we all know the daytona dirt is softest on the circuit and smells like ass. All those beautiful bowl turns will have a 3 foot rut in them and it will be follow the leader. With some hard dirt it would be a great layout.

This should be one exception to the timed main... Go 20 laps at Daytona!

Yes you can. I think on monday they let quads race on the ass dirt. Actually it smells exactly like dog crap.
