Starts will be everything.
Completely agree. The mains will be follow the leader so the top guys are going to have to focus on starts.

The bubble competition is over, now we just need the final practice times from both sessions combined to see who is going to the LCQ? My guess is that the 19-22 riders will all qualify the hard way. It will be interesting if the LCQ's make a bit of difference over the best times?

I agree, yuck. Everyone doing the same thing. Is everyone over riding the track trying to gain time and that's why there is so many big crashes???

That is my theory.

The riders will have to attack the track so hard to make up anything. That equals to higher speeds and more risk.

This is a horrible track.

Dude Vince Friese is on it tonight with an 8th in qualifying. He is a great starter too so he could do really well tonight.

This 12 year old has better media training than half the 250 field.

Cart wheeled the bike in a rythm section, walked off the tracked but from there with the mule to AMU. No updates as far as I know since then.

Supermini kids kill. Best race I saw at the 2016 MEC. Love them, hate them. No, love them.

This is what many have asked for, less accidents (that may not be working) and closer racing. Let's see how it works out, I like the potential.

The overachiever award for sure. He gets no respect, but he is going to be getting factory offers if he keeps that up

So, instead of killing himself trying to get in on qualifying time...he just wins LCQ and gets crappy gate pick but makes the night show. Reed ain't dumb.

Risky. The start is everything on this track.

Agreed, if you're trying to win it. If you're looking to finish top 10....Not so much.

I'm going to echo the sentiments of a few others. This track is sub-par for professional supercross racing. I'd be comfortable riding it on my 125.
