It goes a preset number of laps (usually 6 to 8) and first across the line wins. They change start positions each time so each gets practice passing and the other blocking
I would over rate it as high as you over rate it.VintageDirt said:Being fast is over rated. But of course I'm just guessing.
HubertGarfunkleIII said:my question is, it seems to me that the pros when they are racing, are riding so fast and so hard that they are like border line out of control. like thier riding almost to the point of out of control but still just inside thier limits. stewart is a good example of what i mean.

(Your dollar bill unfocused example.) I'm not sure I can retrieve the location of the article, but if you are into sports physiology/biomechanics and training methods it was an extremely good read on an new field.
Crap-as expected- I can't find it. However, I found this interesting article which says that Dirt is the new Prozac. Maybe it explains why dirtbiking is addicting and makes us happy happy? :laugh:
