What did you guys think of A2`s track. I thought it looked pretty tough,especially the split after the start.

it was very difficult...the back side "rhythm" section was anything but that and required complete commitment to do the last triple triple. those that didn't do the triple triple did a double+ landing on the short table top. tough.
the split wasn't very effective...the inside track was definitely slower.
i liked it.

It seems like this year they are trying a lot of new things with the tracks. they always look hard to me. i liked the big turns though.

this was suppose to be a throwback track from the 80s. not sure but i liked it. not having a bunch of whoops i think helped kevin. it matched his smooth style well.

I thought it was pretty telling that no one seemed to develop a solid groove all night(technical). I thought the pole was kind of odd at first but did enjoy watching them through that section.
My son said he thought RC designed the track, but I never saw or heard that anywhere else so I don't really know. Good racing and more competition than we have seen in a while, so maybe the track was part of that? I enjoyed it.

From what little coverage that the TV showed in between the 40 commercials , it looked like only the Lites guys ever used both sides of the split , the track was workout for every rider , but it made for some good racing , still a lot of position changes , even though they said it would be tough to pass on
As much as i dislike Reed , he was fast , but i got it figured out ! , it was 80% bike 6% Reed , and the rest just luck
But Stewart still held him off on a inferior machine , so that was cool !! ,*they gotta fix that bike so it handles better* but that shows how talented the kid is ! , if he can keep riding like that , on that peice of crap , he will catch up to Reed in points in no time !

I thought the track was great as well as the race.
Stewart and his wrench better get that Yamaha dialed in or he'll be looking at the back tire of Reeds Zook. Though I am DEFINITELY not a Reed fan, I think Stewart has a long road ahead of him to earn the #1 plate.
