Fun fact. The 2009 St Louis SX track was designed by TP199. I think a few tracks that year were designed by sx/mx legends

You beat me to it! I remember being 14, hearing that Travis pastrana was making a track, (and even cooler) he came out of retirement and raced too! (He crashed out of the heat, then blew out his radiator in the lcq) but it was still cool seeing him behind the gate again!

I'm sorry! I knew the track was slightly overscaled but I've gotten into the 53s as well and I always give the pros just a cool five seconds on me easy. The key though is absolutely dragons to dragons. It is doable and it saves 2-3 seconds every lap easily. James and Chad were pretty much the only guys doing it in 2009 so they designed this track to make it pretty tough but definitely doable if you sit into the right rut. Appreciate you trying though! Definitely didn't mean to set you up for failure.

Strange you mention Bobby Kiniry and surprised you remember him. I grew up in the same area of NY and i used to get to watch him cream the 125 expert class on his supermini when he would show up. Quite a treat to watch and i think he was 12 or 13 years old. The same track also hosted an 85cc ripper you might know by the name of Phil Nicolleti. Used to come smoke all the kids with an old CR80 that looked like a barn find. Last but not least a 14 yr old kid used to show up with an old CR250 and race the A class by the name of Ryan Mills. Paul Carpenter also used to make guest appearances at our western NY tracks. Shout out to all our fast NY boys!

TP199 Cameo for that weekend obviously, I'm surprised it wasn't on a 250 two-stroke, but I don't think the homologation rules would let him

The track was designed by TP199. With all the features he liked even he raced.

The “tcx” boots you saw was a MXA test rider riding Stewart’s bike, for 2009 he only used alpinestar tech 10’s and then swapped to the Nike’s in 2010.

stewart was almost the most fun to watch. crash or win. no in between

When the nike boots came out I thought while riding my 65 "Gnarly! Motocross will be a mainstream sport when I go pro!" Here I am today and I am not a pro and motocross is still fairly niche :(

Just remember JLaw railing all the burms that night. Pretty sure this was also the 199s last race.

MXS SX tracks back in the day were made at 1:1.25 scale. No idea if they still are or what the scale MXB tracks are but, if you take a 45x1.25=56.25 so I'd say mission accomplished?

seems like they’ve tried to maximize lap times on SX layouts recently, I like the intent but it makes a lot of tracks feel wayyyy too similar
@robertwattnerАй бұрын
If the track is scaled to 1.1 or 1.2 then the scaled lap times would be 49 and 54 respectively 🤘
