Looks sick. Gonna be cool to see how the Joker Lane comes in to play.

That start will guarantee messing up someone bad.those guys will be hauling ass and drifting everywhere then hard on the brakes into a tight 180? If there is one race without a pile-up I'll give each of those riders $100.

Doesn't look like there's going to be very many outdoor type obstacles. Looks like most of the track outside of the stadium is just going to be a freeway.

1. That start could kill somebody.
2. Joker lanes are a joke. Even in Rallycross, let alone this.
3. That big "Talladega" turn looks badass.

Guys this isn't mxs starts where you keep it pinned and hope to not get hit. They use their brakes so they won't get hit. Also the joker lane is a great idea because it will deffinantly add some suspense to the race.

They dont even see eachother till they meet right in the middle there. And Vegas has hardpack, dry, slick dirt. They're not gonna hold onto their side with as much speed as they're gonna have. Somebody's gonna drift across into someone...

Do you honestly think they're going to build it in such a way that the 2 sides could collide with each other? Of course they're not! There'll be a berm on each side to straighten the riders up or something.

Not only that but I bet it will be alot diffrent once its built. I bet instead of the turns "sweeping" into each other the corners will be 90 degrees to slow people down.

What are the odds Deegan shows up only to lose the race because he forgot the joker lane? :lol:

Somebody is going to slam the brakes going into the joker lane and get plowed by someone in the straightaway, unless it's a really tight turn.

Seems like supercross is becoming more 'freestyle' every year. It's just one giant party, not as much serious racing. That's why I like MX more than SX. :)

I'm a fan of that joker lane tho. I think it will turn out well.
But that start can be very dangerous indeed. I've seen split starts before, but they always melted together when the riders were supposed to ride in a straight line again. In this example are the riders still in a turn when they come together.
But I'm also pretty sure that they will put some sort of a wall on that section too.
