The clusterfuck as i see it , is the right hand side of the start, has to run the wrong way through the whoops on the first lap.

There’s actually no whoop section at all. But I do think its a very bad idea to have them run the left side Rhythm section backwards. Who wants to land on a rutted up face?
They're going to have the dirt movers out between every race getting the section smooth again. They do it at every SX race. Why would this be any different? And 10 bikes at the start aren't going to tear up the landings for the rest of the race in the regular direction. I can't imagine this will be a real issue unless the it is super wet.

Everyone keeps saying this... as opposed to last year where they double back on and turn 90 degrees to merge in second gear when everyone else is in 4th. Or a 20 degree angle with some in 5th and some in 4th.... this way is WAY safer merging back together than last year. And it's never been a problem before I don't see it being one now.
Never said anything about it being a problem, this year or any years prior. Can it be terrifying without being a problem? I believe it can. Done?

so according to the animated track map, the joker lane is an advantage. I have been saying this for year, they do it at the aus open. I think it is much better to have a cheater lane then a joker lane......

I don't remember a track map generating so much interest in the past.

I forgot about the joker when I first tried to figure it out. I like my "no joker" track better. Just put some banners up as shown after each start.

Too bad they got rid of that far launching jump coming back in to stadium. IT was always cool. Meh

There's a bunch of cool stuff that happens in the pits and parking lot. Doesn't cost any extra, IIRC. Have fun!

Free monster drinks, all kinds of shows, pits as usual, free parking, buses tonthe strip.

I figure the leaders will take the joker lap one as it is an advantage. What will be cool is the guys that dont take it who are fast and got a bad start will be able to make a pass or two or three using it later
