I have commented a few times that it is not viewer friendly.  There are a few places with a decent vantage but they get crowded quick.  It just feels like you're always below track level and the banners and such block all but head and shoulders.

It seems that the riders like the layout and flow...which ultimately is what matters.  How about you local folks...like it...hate it?

Same, but I have grown to enjoy it more and more on the tv coverage anyway. So that’s good.

They really need to redesign turns 1 & 2 or at least route them a different way for the start. The rest of the track is fine by me, although I've never attended in person.

When they had the grand stands next to finish you can probably see 60% of the track from the top north corner of the stands. Since they removed that I had a hard time finding a good spot to view. Probably can see maybe 40% or less of the track from the hill in the back but can’t see anything around the start area. Prime spot is Fox vip area which is closed off to us normies. So I choose to watch from home now. #bringbackGlenHelen 🥺

The track isn't my favorite. It's got kinda weird dirt and gets lots of square edge chop everywhere.

I dig that hill in the back...it's very old school cool.  The VIP areas eat up the prime real estate at all the tracks.  Which is funny cause most of the folks in there aren't watching the race...they're drinking and playing grab ass.

Jo Shimoda hurt? Absolutely not what he needs right now, after what has been his worst SX season  since 2020.

Technically 20th because Fedortsov and Avery Long were faster in group B. Next practice will be the real tell.

Yeah, I never read much into the first sessions. 

Should've said 18th in Group A.

I'm kinda giddy with the suspense.  So many story lines.  Literally ANYTHING can happen.  (I know anything can happen all the time but just roll with it).🤣

I'll say it - it's just a fugly track. Looks like it was built on a landfill - a barren wasteland. I almost expect to see trucks with biohazard symbols on them coming and going from the site during the motos. 

I really wish they could find something to replace it with (and not MMS in Utah). Maybe someone is working on this, but I doubt it.

Is it only the time that fills the 40 riders or is there a LCQ for the last shot at making it in?

250 class is huge 78 rider turnout so 38 riders will not be making it.

450 class has 61 rider turnout so 21 riders won’t make it.

It's nice to get away from 50 second SX lap times. Let the games begin, everyone is back and ready to race...awesome.

Really hope he can pull something together very soon. When he’s on he’s really on, but the last few years haven’t been good
