I dont think it changed the safety factor one bit imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was that one incident after the finish line that was sketchy as fuck where coms would have made sense but that was more on the kid who got bucked off than those almost landing on him. This was quite a round... Real shame @AK440 can't appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching sleds bounce around an oval isn’t that exciting to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a pile up right there in the Sport final too, I believe on Saturday night. Also, we need to boot the pro am 30+, snobikes, 200, and 120 champ classes from the night show until room is made for the sport final. Run the sport final as the first race on a fresh track then touch up the track during pro rider introductions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune46x Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 So two schools of thought on this one : You heard the rider talk about it - nuff said on that. The series : ISR does not want a drag race into a corner , they request breaking bumps to control speed going into the corner , again insurance crap. The other side to this is , use your head - you know they are going to pile up or have a good feeling they will pile up there's a brake in addition to gas... Same situation we deal with in offroad and those tracks rarely change. Its easier to blame the track conditions then to admit that you didn't let someone by , held your ground and it caused a wreck.

I understood Kenny’s concern as it was a semi-sweeping curve over the jump instead of a straight away jump, land, then come into a turn? maybe I misunderstood. Was half a sleep when I watched it.

Was half a sleep when I watched it. there were two rollers then a flat corner, then it went into the rhythm section that's always on the front stretch of this track - everyone ALWAYS pushes out to the outside going into the corner , you can either bang or brake and lose position and try to make it up through the rhythm section. I know its easy to arm chair quarter back but racing atvs for years - this happened every single race after the start you could be asleep on the line cut to the inside and make passes that way too.

hayward Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I’m not judging anybody. I get what you mean. Sometimes you gotta go slower to go faster. I see it in dirt track racing all the time. Somebody’s gotta lift, can’t all go into the turn balls to the wall taking up the same spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see as many issues as the track as I did with flagging were there were issues or dumb kids running back onto the track with sleds flying at them...
