I’m planning on heading up Sunday. Like others mentioned, last practice before regionals.
If you haven’t been here yet you really need to consider making the trip to give yourself time to prepare for a few adjustments to your program before regionals. See how the track hits you. It’ll be tougher for regionals.
It gets rough, your biggest competition will be surviving the track and not gassing out in 2 laps. That being said, if you are physically ready you can pick off positions pretty easily the last lap. A big key to riding the track is paying attention to body position, especially your core. Stay with the bike or it’ll drain you. You won’t be sitting much.
Tire selection, I’m going with the mx12. You’ll want a sand tire with beefy knobs, the couple hard pack sections can shred off the sides of the thinner knobbed sand tires(don’t run the Michelin starcross sand, wouldn’t suggest the pirelli either). Another good tire was the Bridgestone x10. Front tire isn’t too noticeable. I’ve tried sand fronts, but a tall knob like the Dunlop mx33 is great.
