I was there last year shooting photos and felt it was so restricted of where you could stand. Shot the whole RC University races and I could walk anywhere which was really cool when RC was actually doing laps .This years track looks good real good gonna be an epic weekend of racing.

Most important question- will it be more than one minute lap time?

Daytona always runs longer than a minute, doesn't it? And not a single standard triple?

looks good, it's always nice to see something different. There's lots of 180 turns as well which should make for good racing.

I think they can get more creative with the layouts. Especially Daytona. Should be good racing though!

Nice! Full use of the infield. In the past they always had to work around the "DAYTONA" paint job on the grass.

Can we rename those types of turns to Two two turns?

Ok, I see it. They normally look bigger on the track maps, because everyone knows the triples are the most important part of a Supercross track.

Reminds me of the old days with the start coming towards the stands, but back then it was 40 on the gate, not 20. Just sayin'. Dry

The start will be shorter than what you've been used to seeing this year. It's not that far from the edge of pit road to the tri-oval. By the time they start hooking up good it will be time to hang a left.

First set of hoops of the start looks more trouble . That 180 turn just before finish line will be fun.

Are those pavers on the bottom right? Maybe cobblestone?
