Eli on the other hand is not the same guy as before his 2015 Lakwood crash.
Oh, and I would not enjoy riding that track. I hate ruts. I don't even like watching them race on rut infested tracks.
ET did very well, KR was just better...isnt that the difference? Easy to blame ET or the bike.

Also , how tight was the racing, RC , Tortelli, Windham(pre meltdown im guessing) Ryno , Ferry etc were all right there till way into the 2nd Moto.
The track prep for me was perfect , wet enough to just have no dust is as wet as needs to be, and obvoiusly not ripped at all. The layout allowed riders to square off turns , and make passes which they struggle to do today. Plus it looked rough , not just rutted rough, but bumpy rough.
I like the layout of the newer track , but it would be great to see decent soil again.
Ruts are inevitable when it rains that much before the weekend.
We had a race earlier this year . went to set up day and the guy was ready to rip it as he is usually asked to by the club that used it before, be we asked him not to, as the forecast looked a bit moist,it rained A LOT, and i went out to do a sight lap to check the flaggers and almost didnt get round, but because the dirt was hard on the top, the water didnt go in far , and once the slop had gone after practice , it rode really really well , apart from a few soft patches.. the old Unadilla , with the grass, would be hard underneath, relatively, compared to how deep it got this weekend.. i cant remember what it was like last year , but for me a track that makes you have to pick a line form one corner to the other, is not going to give good racing.
I guess the old track lets the riders race each other, whereas now , its lots of guys just racing the track at the same time. Lap time spread now is huge compared to what it used to be like, and looking at those races, there were good journeyman guys in the top 10-15, same as this week.
Southwick otoh while sand, doesn't get hardly any ruts comparatively. I was at southwick this year and watching Tomac and Roczen go at it for nearly 30 minutes was awesome, instead of tip toeing thru knee deeps ruts.
Long story short I love unadilla but the track prep has always boggled my mind I really hate the racing there.
