SMX Playoff 2 Preview: The Dome Track Configuration
St. Louis, Missouri – As the SMX Playoff 2 approaches this weekend at The Dome at America’s Center, the track has been meticulously designed to enhance the hybrid motocross experience. The layout notably incorporates more space than typical supercross events, following adjustments made with the retraction of collapsible bleachers.
In a departure from traditional designs, the track features several sand sections and topsoil-infused dirt, promoting motocross-style bumps—a key characteristic aimed at differentiating this event from past St. Louis supercross races. While initial excitement surrounded the potential inclusion of the adjacent exhibition hall in the track, the final configuration will prominently showcase a long U-turn extending into the hall before returning to the main floor.
The animation of the lap around the track has been released, providing fans and competitors a glimpse into the unique layout that awaits. The emphasis is on creating a race environment that aligns with the hybrid format objectives of the playoff series.
