And yes one lined. Its time they get rid of the trackside pass and use that space to make some nice 180 bowls.

soo on topic olds fool ... so what is your take on the track this year vs the last 5 ? im just curious ?
All the silly comments on here, which you for the most part played along with like a good sport while admittedly having a few drinks and now you decide to take a dump on me. Whatever floats your boat dude...

As far as this year's track vs the last 5; from what I've seen in pics on here and the video of RC, so far it appears more interesting than the previous years' cookie cutter SX layouts. It reminds me more of what Daytona used to be back in the day. I'll have a better idea tomorrow when I get there and get to see how it shapes up in practice. This old fool would prefer to see some telephone poles in the whoops though. Wink Cheers.

I was thinking the same thing.. it is very narrow and one-lines.. super tight with slow corners. It will be hard to pass and holeshot will be critical. Not a good track for racing. A trail ride with jumps is more like it..

Lets watch another "Follow The Leader" race at Daytona like last year. Another "Goat Trail" track at Daytona. The start will be the real race as usual. I am going with Eli Tomac for the win. Dungey will just be riding for points which is the smart thing to do, except it is very boring to watch. It would be nice to see an actual Supercross race bust out to the checkered flag with lots of passing for the lead. I also hope Mookie does well in his home state and is on the podium, that would be cool. I am going with AC for the win in the 125 4-stroke class. That would do wonders for AC and it is his home race. I really like AC, he has a great attitude, and is good for the sport because he is not a robot when interviewed and is pretty funny too..

Why don't you take this opinion further when you see 20 bikes on the track. Watching RC ride the track by himself isn't gonna bring out all the lines.

I don't get how people think it's all good in the hood though.

MX and SX are in some dark fucking days, with no plan to get out.

I know, right? I'm not even gonna watch it, because I read they're going to be in a single file line and not sticking it to the man by riding turbo bikes or two strokes.

See I don't disagree, but I think people's view of now, vs 5, 10, 15, 20 or maybe 30 years ago is a little lopsided.

1940s would have been pretty fucked. Clearly. But the world has seen worst moments since then compared to now.

MX tho? MX is in a bad fucking way, even with the economy slightly better than when it crashed.

I see the problem as SX is a show, MX is a race, the show makes big money for few people that control the show and control whoelse makes money.

MX being dirty and hot and hard has to go up against the instant gratification public that likes show.

Money rules.

And,

If I'm in my rocking chair and see a flash of light over the horizon i hope i can reach in my frig right there on my porch with my rocking chair and get one more pull on a jar before the shockwave gets here.

Bump....

because Dungey, Baggett, Grant and Osborne beg to differ. Add Mookie if going backwards through the field counts.

Case closed.

Man, Crush, Daytona was freaking packed. There were a lot of people there. I don't necessarily disagree with your overall point, but man, moto sure looked healthy at Daytona. Well...SX anyway.

There was more than one line on that track. Eli set up Jeremy perfectly - and right in front of us!

Actually Osborne states it was a very difficult track to pass on.
Difficult? Maybe. Impassable (misspelling/pun intended)? Not so much. The guys who were going places got 'er done.

I say make the track BMX style, except loop the finish line. Make 4, 1/2 mile straights (RBSR style) with turns at the end...

i would take 3 straights with whoops, and one with and endless variation of rhythms available at the point!

The tight racing is cool to watch but must be frustrating for the guys.
