Tommy Searle was looking good until he went down in the second qualifying practice and injured his shoulder. He had it checked out on site by the asterisk medical crew and it did not appear broken. Tommy tried to race the heat race but could not hold on and was forced to sit out the race. Tommy says he has had it checked out this week by his doctor and there is no major problem but he will have to take a few days off to heal up. He will try to ride later this week to see if he can compete this weekend in San Francisco.
Kevin Windham looked great in practice and had the 5th fastest lap time heading into the night.

Nick Wey finished 13th on the night and is only 5 points out of the top ten. Nick is working on a few things with his bike setup and expect to be in the top ten soon.
