Wow, looked like Barona Oaks meets Elsinore meets Ocotillo Wells in the middle of August. Worst track of the series by far. Wtf.

It reminded me of the SLC tracks after we came back from that covid break. Shitty dirt, decent layout, pretty good racing all things considering.

Some of the rocks/boulders were softball size on the track walk that Keefer did post race. Pretty impressive they let that go. Cheers

Ya, it was bad. Kind of surprised all the 90's didn't make it more one lined. I think the rhythm sections were pretty technical in terms of actually having to hit marks more precisely.

Embarrassing conditions for the premier SX series.

There was all sorts of bullshit and trash in the dirt too, if you look closely. I swear I saw a piece of chicken wire lol.

We did a track walk and I was shocked with how garbage the material was. It looked like left over New England fill. Rocks everywhere and I noticed some mesh netting popping through in one spot. Before one of the motos Astar medical pulled a rock the size of a football from right in front of the gates. Picture is from the turn before Finish jump.

That’s awful. It’s a Pro race! Most amateur tracks have better dirt than that. Someone aughta be shit canned.

The dirt obviously sucked, but I actually liked the layout. A couple of the rhythms had some awkward timing, which in my opinion makes the racing better. A lot of rhythm sections on these modern tracks are very predictably spaced out, making it way too routine for any elite rider to absolutely nail every single time he goes through it.

Yeah I saw that too, it was sticking out of a rut. Looked like stucco lathing.

Did they get this "soil" from a landfill, or just sent a couple trucks to the local Demo construction site to fill up?

But, the dirt resembled the Mass-Hole fans, I guess - Trashy, hard to deal with, and full of shit.

And they make these professional racers pay entry fees to ride on the garbage pile. SMH.

Whatever Townie.

I spent more than my fair share of summers in Boston, and the only time that city looks good is from the airplane window flying out of Logan.

I love everywhere else in NE, but that town blows.

The layout was cool, but the dirt sucked big time. This is from Broc Glover's Dunlop track walk before the race...

Someone got some New England moon sand in his… I didn’t know one city represented all of Massachusetts fans. Keep drinking from them paper straws bud Pinch
