I watched the highlights from rounds 1 and 2 of the nationals online. Those tracks both weeks were ridiculous rough. Rutted, breaking bumps.....rough rough. I then saw some highlights from not so many years ago. The track was rough, but nothing like we are seeing with the tracks today.
I can remember going to Kenworthys and in between motos they would be out there with a disc, dozers and water prepping for moto 2. So is the lack of prep hurting the racing or helping? Causing more injuries or not?
In my opinion the racing was much better when the tracks were not quite as rutted and rough. Just my opinion. And the chance of injury also obviously goes up with the track conditions. Hell last week, there was one jump they were doubling, and litterly landing in mega breaking bumps, and I thought wow, no way. Obviously when the track conditions are like that, it also favors the factory guys with the $50k suspension and a suspension tech sitting under his tent.
Just my thoughts. Anyone else agree or disagree?
