Looks technical, should be great. LIVE BABY!!!
Nice to be live again!!
No doubt. I hate waking up at 6 on sunday staring at the clock and the dcr waiting for that red light to come on.
Track looks fun, not sure i like how close the right turn off the finish jump and the other section that both cross the start straight are so close though.
I dunno, maybe they aren't as close as i first thought...
Bobryshev in first on lap 20? "I will crush you!"
Looks like it'a going to be a mud fest.
No Sand sections...?
What is this Nascar? Do they ever make a first turn right? Switch it up some and let's make it a little more, lets say, not so cookie cutter!! Just sayin'
@Muehterc, U mi frend r en idyot. u Mustiv ben educayted in Rivurside.
@muehterc right hand start turns tend to cause pileups and crashes - took Poto out in JAX last year, if I remember correctly. Left turns off of starts are just a lot safer in SX. And I think we can all agree that's something we can all use this year...
@muehtec - you don't want to have 9 guys in front of you and 10 guys behind you that are attempting to slow from 50mph to 20mph in the first turn without use of the rear brake 6 seconds into a heat, LCQ and certainly not a main. This will never be Nastycar. Long live first corner lefties followed by the best tracks dirt can make.
Millville is and has been a right turn first corner as long as I can remember... just sayin.
Holeshot is definitely going to be key, like always.
@poooky - yep a bunch more real estate and traction at the MX tracks vs the SX tracks in the first corner . . .
RE: Right-hand first turns:: Anybody that's ever...
It's about rear (trail)brake(ing) control, foot off the peg, body position on the bike, lean angle... Right-hand turns make these natural actions to set up for the turn , get through it and down the next section of track much more difficult. RH turns- always an opportunity for pile-ups, much more so than left-hand turns.
