The company has taken a series of steps towards implementing rules, policies and procedures to correct- ly handle situations of this nature moving forward." Teams have been told that random tire testing (much like fuel testing) will become a regular part of post- race inspection. The general feeling among the teams is that cheating by chemically modifying the tires to give them better traction will probably be a thing of the past with the new test- ing protocols. Henry Wiles says his riding style over the jump has modified some- what over the years. "I look back at older videos and I do see a differ- ence," Wiles said. "I think a lot of it depends on the condition of the track from year to year. There can and ten he opened almost a half second on Mees, but then came lapped traffic… and it was thick. Wiles said, "Once we came up on a group of about four or five riders and I heard Jared right there behind me again and I thought, 'Man I have to do it all over again.'" Mees then showed Wiles a wheel once or twice during the middle stages of the race. "We were going through traffic so fast it was like those guys were on a warm-up lap," Mees commented. "I wanted to go by Henry while we were in traffic, but I had to think about what the guys in front of him were going to do." In the closing laps Wiles managed to build back his cushion on Mees. Mees finally saw it wasn't going to happen JANISCH SCORES A THRILLER In the GNC2 main event, Jesse Janisch earned a thrilling .038-sec- ond victory over second-place finisher and current points leader Davis Fisher. Janisch, piloting the No. 32L 34 Racing Honda, started from third on the grid and battled with Fisher on every lap. The two were neck-and-neck heading into the final turn and it looked as if either one could have claimed the victory at the end. Fisher's runner- up effort aboard the No. 67M Parkinson Brothers Racing Honda keeps him sitting comfortably in the GNC2 points lead over Dan Brom- ley, while Janisch's win, his first of the season, boosts him to 19th in the standings. "I think I made Jeremy (DeRuyter) change the shock more times than I can count," Janisch said. "Re- nee had a great goggle hand-off after one of the red flags. Without George Mack I wouldn't have even had a running motorcycle today so can't thank him enough!" Finishing third to close out the podium was No. 30Z Rod Lake Racing pilot Bronson Bauman. It was Bauman's second podium ap- pearance in the last three rounds and he currently sits fourth in the points. No. 19B RLJ Honda rider Justin Jones and No. 69C Bell Helmets Suzuki pilot Hayden Gillim rounded out the top-five finishers, respec- tively. Like Beach, Gillim is a road racer with extensive flat track roots, and the two put together impres- sive performances for not having competed in AMA Pro Flat Track this season. Bromley, who sits second in the points behind Fisher, rode his No. 54A Bromley Brothers KTM to a sixth-place finish while Jamison Minor, who currently sits third in the standings, finished 12th in the main event after overcoming a couple of crashes earlier in the day. The race was red flagged twice – once for a crash by Jeffery Lowery off the jump and then when Ryan Wells crashed in the first turn. Both riders were beat up in their falls, but should be back to racing soon. continued on next page
