Today’s track seemed more follow the leader than any of the west coast tracks did and the whoops took a turn for the worse IMO!! Just wanted to see how you guys felt about our first east coast round?

This is just how tracks are on the east coast. Dirt is different and breaks down more causing multiple line options in corners that tend to provide more slot style racing. That being said, I think there was plenty of places to pass on this track. Lots of different rhythm lane options and plenty of cut down inside lines that were not there on the west coast.

The only negative is the whoops break down into one main line. But, we did see Dylan get wild in the whoops and put Tomac down, so the whoops def played a part tonight in the action just differently.

Definitely not one of the better east coast tracks, or races. Awkward track designs tend to be a dice roll...sometimes they deliver good racing, sometimes not. Despite its moments, tonight was firmly in the latter category overall.

Super weird track in my opinion. It's like you could hit everything perfect and it still had no flow.

That's what sucks about SX world..."East" is verrry relative. I live in Virginia, and Boston/East Rutherford alternate as my "home" races.

Layout was bad for racing. The big thing i noticed was all of the jumps seemed extra peaky and closer together this race. Or its just me…

Well said^^^ and politicly correct!

My version... Not great flow, odd timing of rhythm sections, to narrow in many spots, hard pack and slick.

Track sucked balls! Let's hope the rest of the tracks are better.

That being said... I freaking dig on watching everyone of these races!

What happened to all the hype about 250 East being stacked? There was nobody really on Jetts level tonight.

So because of that Jett is superior against the other riders it’s not stacked?

Is not the 450 class stacked any more when a rider wins with a couple of seconds?
