Bs. Need to stop all the social media crap. Don't really care about people bringing bikes in rooms. I really think we should do 15 min +2 laps for 250s and 20 +2 for 450s... Less than one minute laps is crap

We have enough people getting hurt, i say more seat time before any gate drops, the races are fine.

I agree that the sub 1 minute lap times is a waste!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best in our sport are on the track less than a moto a 5 year old rides at LL's

Less than 1 minute lap time = track too short

It has been way better this year than previous years where we had multiple races that were in the low 40's.

I think mid 50's are fine but tracks in the 40's is just to short, also bunches lapped riders up more in the 2nd half of the main.

The Argentina track is pulling 1:45s, (and I think its a great track) so sub minute tracks in a stadium seems ok I guess. I agree they should be timed instead of laps though.

All in all I think the tracks have been far better this year than in the past few seasons. Tonight's track was definitely be an exception.

We had mid-40s tracks nearly 15 years ago, this is nothing new.

I generally never complain about the tracks. That being said, here it goes.

That was the most basic track I've ever seen in my life. That was terrible. 47 second lap times and no difficult obstacles whatsoever. If anyone can think of a more basic and easy track than this one, please post it. This is all by professional standards of course. Was this already planned to be so simple or were adjustments made after the carnage last week?

The Nationals will be here soon, SX has to keep it short or the field will spread out even further than it does now.

There are maybe 5 riders capable of racing one of these tracks for 20+ minutes, the rest would just try to survive

I agree. I am also bewildered the TV production folks aren't the ones crying for timed instead of lap count main events.
