at least we're getting a new track this year. But yea, they should take more precautions and add padding to the sides of the over-under, stuff happens, like last year with Coty Shock.
Bikes have 6 gears??
I think they would likely change it if deemed to significantly negate safety (as it is not actually needed in the design layout). Would not be the first time this year that the track map didn't match the final product. In-fact, I think it was Anaheim-2 they cut the tunnel in the original design for safety concerns.
Best part of this to me is...being a "Ricky Carmichael Signature Track", it will give RC something to cut to split-screen B-roll with and ramble about during the middle of the 450 main.
I bet you would have a real meltdown if you actually knew it was 22 guys.

Fer sure they'll be going for it headed for that tunnel!
I hope that they have RC pushing wheelbarrows full of dirt in . He can tell us how many wheelbarrows of dirt it took to build the track and how many laps of a mud race pushing all of those wheelbarrows into the track would equal. And then explain how tear offs work.
I do think that RC has a lot of good insite too though. He is able to see a pass long before it happens. And he might be a better producer than he is at calling the action. He is able to see a lot before it happens and that could help a producer make sure they have the cameras on the right guys. Yah he miss speaks and can sometimes sound like an idiot. But only James Stewart and he have been able to have the ability to call the action before it happens. And I think that shows how much of a student of racecraft RC really was. I'll take the bad as long as he still offers some of the good too.
There will be 6 races of 20 before they put 22 on the gate.
I am old enough to remember it being a 40 rider gate.
In the good old days, 125s had 6 gears.
Math is hard. Try again.
Supercross has been 22 riders for a number of years now.
The last double rows starts were in the late 80s...
Geezus talk about an alarmist............
Assuming they'll be putting tough blocks here after the start to block the yellow line?
Something tells me the start will be key
"I would challenge anyone to come up with a worse idea."
Careful there, Phil; you might be underestimating some folks.
Being in your line of work, I'm sure you know the difference between genius and supidity - genius has its limits.
HEY BROTHA ITS GUNNA BE A MUDDA
pouring rain right now in Daytona
SPLIT LANEs are awesome
ricky said it has a 50% chance of working out . Lol. I think it will be great
Challenge accepted, short start straight, crossover jumps, water between jumps...
Pit Row
Gators; you need some gators in the water hazards to get the full effect.
Gotta give it that authentic Florida flavor.
Looks like you never raced a GNCC where the drag race into the first section of single track can be terrifying.
My first thought was that those two places where the 180s butt into each other could be a little sketchy after the field spreads out, someone potentially getting stuffed into oncoming traffic...
Was coming to say this.
30 riders funneling into a 5ft wide trail with trees on both sides sure does make me pucker sometimes.
Doing it for *Dale 3!!! Head wounds all around...
too soon
lol, I remember. Thats what i raced majority of the time thru the 90's. Ended with the 250 2T in 99-02. Not nearly as fun. I was joking as i rarely find a track to get out of 4th nowadays.
They could be going over the bridge off the start like at Houston last year. The riders will fan out enough in the left sweeper and be 4-5 wide down the straight and less so going under the bridge. I see no problem with the start.
Track maps came out in like December, no one seemed to have a problem with the start then.
RC sees more passes that don’t happen than passes that do happen …
If you're going to add Florida flavor, also hang a cantankerous anaconda over the finish line!
Don’t leave out a 80 year old driving in the left lane with their blinker on 25 mph under the speed limit.👍. They could be a mobile joker lane around the track.
