Only thing i see is the first set of whoops could cause issues on the start if anyone goes down. Otherwise it looks great.

I cant believe nobody is talking about a whoops section right after the first turn at the start.. That will be a VERY crowded whoops section after the start..

@someguy
@bd200

Should they just take out whoop sections and triples to make you guys happy?

This is racing, if they don't want to pin it in the whoops after the start well then i guess they can hang back in last place. people now days don't want triples or whoops or rhythm sections after starts, such a joke, maybe in a few years supercross will just be long flat straights after ever turn. Is that what you guys want?

The track looks awesome, i hope they don't change a thing.

I heard that they are making every rider roll the triples, roll the whops and no big rhythms on the first lap. To many people complained about the sport being to dangerous.

But I agree, the whoops MAY cause problems. RV better get that start or he could be in trouble.

I believe more thought from a safety perspective needs to be given in regards to the track layout especially right after the start and the following 2 or 3 turns. Maybe a couple of quick chicanes to help spread out the field and keep these guys from landing on each other. Yea, Im referring to Trey Canards incident amongst others.

I miss the split starts, those were cool. Split up the field some as well.

Timed the red arrow at 43 second lap times lets see how close that is to the real thing?

The whoops are only a problem if they are there. I bet they remove them for a set of flaming hoops at the last minute. The other whoop section will be replaced by monkey's with knives.

I like that boat jump onto the start straight- some nice WFO whips.
