Anybody watch press day RAcerX vid yesterday? The track was pretty unwatered and not ripped deep and the track looked perfect. Guys were dicing up the turns and the dirt was actually loose and soft. I was excited. I know it rained but Langston said on the stream they threw a lot more water down and there are already foot deep ruts in practice! can we get one track without all the water and ruts? I want to see these guys race each other, not the track!
This x100, don't understand the desire for the slot car tracks. I realize they want to keep the dust down but all they need to do is water and then disc it between the 1st set of 450 motos and 2nd 250 motos. That will bring the moisture back, but people will complain it's not rough enough....

Is it me, or did Webb's rear suspension look extremely soft and floppy?

Even Langston and weigandt have been making comments about the ruts. All these ruts just make for bad racing bad viewing and it's dangerous for the riders. Didn't they learn from a few years ago when the gnarly track took out their hometown boy for the next year?

Dirt up here is weird. Will go from loamy to glass slick dustbowl quick. Look up some youtube videos of the track and it looks like 1930 in Nebraska.

How could Webb be on a 2018 when it hasn't even been announced?

I'm not sure why we have to have rutty messes EVERY weekend? Rough? Hell yes, but why are the always ripping so deep?

Anyway, looks like an awesome day in Colorda... Should be fun.

If Marvin beats Tomac at his home state race there's a good chance there will be another #1 on a KTM at the end of the year. Funny that 2 weeks ago the talk was whether Tomac would go 24-0.

Slot car...errrr...bike racing. Same shit every race, would be nice to have a little difference in tracks occasionally.

Pretty sure it was just the frame. To race a full bike it has to be homologated.
