I voiced my opinion about the track layout and I know a lot of current racers troll these forums. What did you think of the Daytona layout?

"The start was extremely dangerous, a high-speed sweeper followed by man-made chop that led into a sandpit turn. Riders who got to the sandpit first covered their competition in roost, leaving them temporarily blinded."
?
The sand corner pile ups were no problem as guys were slowed down, the start did seem a bit sketchy..
Did it not look that way on TV?
I should clarify what I was asking...Did they show the guy hit the concrete barrier?
Has anyone noticed his burner Twitter accounts that ask questions to PulpMX asking questions in line with “Steve, did you read Cooksey’s article on...?”
Best racing in years.
Best racers had time and track to make it happen.
Finally, a track to show everyone why we lost at MX Nations, because we rule at mean nasty supercross!
The bikes are so easy to ride these days, and that isn’t changing, so the tracks need to be harder. Longer rhythm lanes, deeper/longer sand sections, long whoop sections.
Force these guys into mistakes.
That was my favorite track of the year so far.
Cooksey, you should take up playing Bridge, (they also dope) so there will be plenty to talk about.
Pit Row
Yes you morans mx/sx is risky but going in a direction that leads to career altering injuries as opposed to a simple fracture or tear isnt the right way to go.
Designing tracks with obstacles that are challenging yet not disastrous should you miscalculate by 6 inches should be the goal.
Tampa's sand section from last year is a good example of a section with a ton of difficulty but relatively low risk. The section directly before it where seely crashed and was in a wheelchair for months and out for the entire year is an example where theres no room for error and the cost is massive. Daytonas track was basically that type of risk the entire time.
"Every race riders in the back of the pack fell, similar to the giant lime-infused puddle at San Diego. Unlike San Diego this was by design."
j/k but I think you theme here was weak and assumed a sanitized version of Supercross to which I have not been previously exposed.
Don't like it, don't ask for other people's opinion.
"Thanks! Here is the paragraph from my first article on Vital: Chris Cooksey is life-long motorcross enthusiast.... "
First its hard to take an opinion as harsh of a stance on this against the GOAT's ability to design a track coming from a nobody. If Kevin Windham wrote this it MIGHT have some validity to this. Supercross is all about timing and a rider has his own responsibility for his own safety even at this level. If they don't like the track, focus on riding in your limits and get out safe for the next round.
This article does come off as if you sat back and thought, "hmmm what can I write that will get my name out there, I know, be controversial" Sounds thirsty.
