Whoops were big. My take is leave them as is but make them closer together like the 2 stroke era whoops so guys can gain momentum blitzing and stay on top easier. Right now they are in between. They are Big and peaked out but spaced to far apart.

There was a time they started out closer and open up as you get into them...and vice-versa...

I wonder what the "spacing" std is now?

13 feet apart seems to be the standard.

It was not the size, it was that they where not wide enough at the top that caused issues. Peaky tops, almost triangle like means the tops get destroyed and that's when it gets dangerous including easy to lose drive since rear wheel has so little contact with surface.

So that long and tall, the base at top needs to be bigger.
