We sprung for one of the tables when tickets went on sale.  Close parking, food, and we can see 95% of the track.

We watched Friday Practice from the hill yesterday.  Sight lines from there were pretty good.

This is the type of event SMX should be.  It doesn’t make up for Columbus, but it’s a step in the right direction.  The Ozarks in general are beautiful and there’s a ton to do here.

If they visit here again, I'll definitely grab some tickets.

I get that the venue is great and the track has nice flow.

But let's be honest... this track is incredibly one lined (because of how narrow they built it and little dirt there is so super shallow/no ruts), and the racing has been pretty bad so far. No one can make up tiny so it's just a bunch of stagnant 3 second gaps.

Seems dark out there

Seems like there’s a couple of dark spots, but otherwise it doesn’t look too bad to me.

Yeah, this track is just not very good. Way too narrow, one-lined, and they always skimp on dirt, so no ruts/roughness. It's js a flat speedway with a tiny layer of dirt on half the track.

Is it his mission to be the bad guy? He excels at it.

Vince held Kenny up so bad you could hear Kenny revving the bike in that turn. I know he’s pissed lol

How is Friese still allowed to race? He just blocked kenny and then Hunter ruining any chances of the top 3 changing
