SX Goes by OLD_Mumhra
----------------------

Hey all,

I'm back... sooner then expected lol. Normally it always takes me several months between making my tracks. But now it
only took me a month. I finished Horenbergsdam in honor of Guitar Bill on january 1st 2008. And now, february 2nd i 
allready finished this track.

Exactly a week ago i went to a stadium in a city in Holland to watch a supercross race. The stadium is called
"de Zeelandhallen" and the city is called "Goes". Supercross is not so popular over here in Europe and the SX of Goes
is the only sx held in the low lands (Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg). No big names take part in the SX of Goes. Only young,
upcoming talents.  
The stadium in Goes actually is to small for a supercross event but noone seemed to mind. There were only 3000 seats
and pro riders did a lap in under 26 seconds. But like i said, noone minded.
The atmosphere was great, the music was great, the show was fantastic and several young pro riders from Holland, 
Belgium, France, Germany, England and USA were battling it out on the track.

When i came home i was looking at pictures and info from the event and i found a track map. Distances and everything
were marked on there so my next thought was to try and make this for MTM2. I think i succeeded in this tho laptimes
are much higher now (around 50 secs). My guess is that that is because these trucks are slower then dirtbikes.I can't make
the track any tighter. it's tight enough as it is. Making it even more tight will spoil the fun imo.

I only changed 1 thing in this track. Where normally a whoop section was I placed cars and vans to jump over. Hey, these
are monster trucks... some cars just have to be crunched when inside a stadium :D

The bitmap image is a pic of Belgian rider Jurgen Wybo jumping over the hughe triple in Goes. Jurgen is a pro rider of
22 years old. He also rides outdoors but supercrosses are his speciality. He won Goes in 2006 and 2007 and again was the
guy to beat in 2008. In qualy he had the fastest laptime (25.4 secs which was 0.5 secs faster then his closest opponent)
and he won his 2 heats without any problems. 
However, in the final he had a very bad start and had to work his way up through the field. Not easy on such a tight 
track.... He started 10th, worked his way up to 3rd and was by the halfway point ready to take over 2nd place when he 
crashed and damaged his bike ending his race. Bummer but i'm sure that he will be back in 2009.

Background music is "Enter Sandman" from "Metallica". That song is played very often of mx and sx events over here in 
Europe so i think it fit tracks like these.

Weather mask is set to night only. This because SX events are always held at night. I hope i placed enough lights on the
track so that it is not to dark. I can't place to much because that will cause errors. I have no idea how many lights i'm
allowed to use. I think that now there are 16 lights on the track.

My best laptime so far is somewhere around 48 or 49 seconds. I used 1000 ms as setup. I have not tried anything else yet
but my guess is that 1000 must be close to perfect. The track is very tight so you can't get to high in gearings.

thanks go to :

- SMZ for annualy organizing the supercross in Goes
- Phineus and everybody else at MTMG. That place is so full of info it's incredible. If i'm stuck i just go there and
  almost always the needed info is there somewhere
- Runt9 for his school of making tracks. I never did a stadium track before. His website helped me out a lot.
- Team OLD
- Shadowprincess for keeping MTM2 alive with her weekly tournaments
- Everybody who i have forgotten :)
