The track was pretty technical this weekend with a tricky rhythm section after the start. The dirt, like always in St Louis, was primo and the track was challenging with a lot going on. The whoops weren’t much of a factor but you could still make a little time in them. The downside of the track were the six 90-degrees turn on it and that's a recipe for a one lined track.Let’s get started and go thru the top 10 in the 450 class…
