Wow that’s a long start straight. If I were racing this, I’d start asking the man above to keep me safe ASAP.

The quad ski jump into the sand after the first turn is also crazy.. This will definitely add to the championship drama. I hope they all make it out safe for the outdoors

Can't wait for circuscross to end.

If they're in the stadium, they can see what's happening for the outside portion on the big screen.

I like having a single gate...especially for a race where there's going to be three champs crowned.

Zzziiinnnggggg! But seriously here folks I think the Riders are going to be hitting 50 to 55mph by the end of that start straightaway. Do we need nets?

There was a long start straight on one of the tracks earlier this season, and the riders said they liked it because it actually spreads them out a bit more.

4rings, you're so core. I hope I can be just like you when I grow up...

Idk if you’ve ever seen a Vegas supercross but just about all of them in the past have gone outside the stadium like that.

Yep, usually there's one really fast side.

The first couple of years they added it, it was cool. At this point it's just a fast, slippery, dangerous part of the track. I'd honestly prefer if they don't go outside the stadium, and keep everything inside. There's something boring about the start when it's outside and not being able to see the first turn (I understand the first turn is inside the stadium this year).

I like watching them come cooking back into the stadium and launching onto the flats wfo . Looks like they have a turn this year...

Ahh good to see your still you Pinch

Show me where the "speedway" section in Vegas has ever been cause for accidents or injuries in the past 10 years.

Watching these guys flat track their beasts around that sweeper is Woohoo

We're really complaining about the start straight being too long? WOW...you guys are really going soft.

You might be better off watching Antique Roadshow...would hate for you guys to get an elevated heart rate from worrying too much. Laughing

Not complaining. Just point out that this type of start leads to a lot of unforeseen circumstances. It’s likely it will make a difference in at least one of the three championships up for grabs this weekend. Bring on the race drama!!
