A mart talked about it on pulp. Said it might change after amateur day. They are gonna see how it shapes up. Big change to mt Martin.

Yeah, the biggest change to me is the down hill with the zig zag, left then right half way down...

I feel like that downhill was the top passing spot on the track.  Send it and you pass...  Don't send it and you get passed.

Taking out 2 iconic sections is a bummer but switching it up once in awhile is fine too! It’ll be fun to see how it effects the racing 


The martins are obviously rippers who know what they’re doing and the dirt is so good.  Shane Schaeffer is also top notch. Kinda can’t lose IMO

They do this every year - the whoops will be pro ready on race day.

I'm worried when I see it in person Saturday. I hope the woops aren't completely ruined. There are less crashes in the whoops than anywhere else on the track. The long downhill is ruined, I hope they change it back.

I heard that too from Amart. Seeing it is another. I totally agree that making it a rhythm section - that might become 1 lined - is a bad idea. 

That section rewarded nerve and skill in getting to the tops of the whoops. If the rhythm section take it away and everyone does the same that would be bad.

I think it looks great.  They are sand so will break down and should be multiple line options

They've been using a snow cat to groom the last how many years. Wouldn't take much to reshape to whoops for pro day after AM day.

No way they keep this for Saturday. I understand it for amateur day. Think they said they could put it back in 30 minutes.

I do appreciate making changes to the tracks, seems like all tracks are becoming highways and no progression. Although, the whoops keep them. One of the best sections to watch at that track.

Disappointed they didn’t keep the full downhill. Lots of passing there.

Seems like they are trying to keep speeds down.
