TRACK PREP
A downpour wreaked havoc during
the second qualifying session,
forcing the track crew to recover a
rain-soaked racetrack. Hard work
by the crew and improving weath-
er conditions meant that by the
time the second motos had rolled
around, the track had shaped up
nicely and provided close racing.
PENALTY REPORT
Levi Kitchen and Michael Mosi-
man were both penalized for
"gaining an advantage while off
track on the start." Kitchen was
docked four spots, and Mosiman
three. Jett Lawrence was docked
one license point for going off-
track at the start of moto one but
did not gain an advantage. Mark
Fineis lost one position in 450MX
moto two for gaining an advan-
tage when he went off track on the
start.
