What were the issues with that track? I dont remember this year seeing that many crashes in one night of racing. Does anyone think there should've been more adjustments made or was it just another track and a bad night (full moon)?

Is it me, or do the tracks look narrower each week. It looked like at Indy, they would have struggled to get two bike wide at any point on the track. Jacksonville didn't look a lot wider?

Realize, I just turned 50, and my vision may be goingWoohoo Woohoo

Head on over to TWMX and watch the "How Was Your Weekend" videos. Every rider was asked about the track and EVERY RIDER said the same thing. Track was good if not a little basic and hard to pass, whoops were too soft, got chewed out and were possibly the worst all year. And they didn't really embrace the first turn. Some hated it while others, like K Dub, said it should be treated like any other right hand turn on the track and you gotta prepare for it. Makes sense really but, when going for the holeshot, sense doesn't always come in to the equasion...

SIMX happy 5-0

What was wrong with it? Right-handed start immediately transitioning into a rhythm section maybe?

HATED the singles into the turns. Lame. Loved watching Canard over that triple and did like it when they were showing Milsaps doing that one section.

Great to have a little creativity and throwing in the right hand opening turn. Loved it!

Salt Lake City will have a right hand first turn as well. Maybe after the carnage at Houston and Jacksonville they will all tip toe through the first turn and then start racing.
