Maybe Williamson was actually filling in scuffs and scratches with the dirt he picked up? It looked like he did a lot more then just move "said" rock that he got permission to remove. But maybe they are allowed to modify/repair/enhance traction to the gate itself?
Either way, RV deserved the win and ultimately the championship.
A rule was broken, and once again the AMA does jack shit about it, because it involved the points leader. It also determined the outcome of the championship.
Now don't anyone start on me about the RV hater bullshit, because the man proved he's a fuckin stud, and I fully acknowledge that . He earned that championship from a huge deficit, giving him his third in a row. Impressive. The fact still stands that it should have gone to Vegas for the outcome.
No disrespect to Ryan but his Mechanic clearly broke a rule and once again nothing was done about it.
it was a great race and a great series, Ryan deserves the #1 plate. Just not last Saturday.

Fixed it for ya!
If he asks permission but is told no and does it anyway--rule broken.
If he asks permission and receives it and does it--no rule broken.
Seems reasonable.
Regardless...if, according to the RacerX article, they asked an official if they could remove it, then on defense of RV, at least they asked, and received permission by an official, who apparently doesn't know the rules.
It doesn't matter what the end result was, and/or if RV was going to win the race and/or Championship anyway....it's the point of enforcing rules that are written.
Kimi said to a friend of mine's cousin's sister once they'd do lots of tricky stuff to get past tech.
Snowmobile racing too. Those guys are way gnarlier than mx'ers too.
And Gwen Stefani.
How long before people start to say it's rigged like the monster truck show?
Every mechanic knows not to do ANYTHING infront of the gate.
Generally you'll see mechanics wipe down the plastic with a rag. By that time of the night you've had at least seven gate drops. It's not like they change up the plastic before every race.
As for the guys who are being smartasses, that often comes across as dumbass material.
Pit Row
After the gate, it's all part of the track and shouldn't ever be touched by riders/mechanics/officials.
I thought this was an AMA rule. So can all AMA rules be considered null and void until protested?
Asking permission to break the rules and being granted that permission is a whole other subject.
Who allowed him to break the rule? RV, himself or the official?
you're a douch
if Tony Alessi did what RV's Mechanic did this place would melt down.
In the AMA you can break the rules as long as no one files a protest.
Do they even check for big bore cheater bikes in teck or would a third of the starting gate be empty?
