Holy Smokes! I thought everyone could not wait until the West Coast races were done so they could get back East were the dirt was good?

Seems the only thing consistent with VitalMX posters is their inconsistency.......Shocked

I think its great. its physically demanding and technical. what more could you ask for?

"the dirt sucks" why do you care? yeah, I could maybe understand that if you were the one riding on it, but why would you want "hero dirt" for spectating?

Never let your riding ability...or lack thereof influence your evaluation of the track on tv. It will not be accurate.

Good call. He doesn't have a leg to stand on in that argument. I personally love this track...I want to see 1 minute times with technical ruts, and an emphasis on line selection.

I like it and have been to a few Indy sx and it is always great racing. Track will dry up some times will get a little faster
Edit* track is destroyed at the end of 250 main so it did not hold up. When plywood showing up it sucks for sure just way to soft. Its not usually that soft

You must be from the same crowd that likes them grooming the outdoor tracks between motos.

From the few pics I've seen on Facebook I'm excited to see something different! It will test different riders skills. Why do people always complain lol.

sure it is challenging and I'm not gonna complain but it is a little bit shitty to watch riders sitting on the seat and practically dragging there feet through the whoops ... should make for a good night of bar banging though .. not complaining

Not a fan of the layout, no supercross track needs two triples... and there are a few more 90s than I would like, but the dirt condition is great.

AMA SX and MX has gone way to same same with dirt and dirt prep. Definitely has to be a factor in why the US team hasn't been as comfortable at a few recent MXDNs.

In a track like today's, Davi Millsaps would be a threat!

Geez dude, starting to think nothing will make you happy track wise. Wink

The racers used to show up and race what they had in front of them.

Mreh, it's definitely better than what it has been, I definitely think 2 triples are silly tho, they pose no issue to the riders, i'd rather see more ryhtms/big berms or 2 whoop sections.

Don't mind me, I'm still just bitter and twisted that Reed is out. ha

It's gonna be a really bad night for someone, I can't see every one of the top guys making it 20 laps. The title could be back in play after tonight or approaching way out of reach.

I like the ruts and how technical that makes it.

But the rhythm sections suck.

I like it, but we might see some areas down to the plywood with those 450 trench diggers out there.

normally I'd agree with the triples not really being any sort of factor, but with ruts forming this easily, the triples may become quite treacherous.

I cant think of anything more freaky than getting thrown off balance buy a rut on the lip of a 90ft triple, and coming down on the other side trying to land square in a rut sounds nerve racking as well.
