Watching the highlights, it looks like Jimmy Albertson got screwed on the holeshot money. I don't get how they could credit Short with the holeshot when Albertson was clearly a full wheel ahead. Anyone else notice this?

The official results sheet shows Albertson with the holeshot.

That's good to hear. That was a hell of a start from the outside!

But after the second turn he was right up there and seat bounced himself right off the track! Lol Watch the highlights on Racer X and keep your eye on him. He had a close call!

I saw that happen and had no idea who it was at the time. Thanks for the clarification!

This is how I saw it from Jimmy's perspective:

1st turn...Best SX Start of my life.

2nd turn....Best "save" of my life. #buttpuckermoment

Good for Jimmy! I was wondering who that was that went flying early on haha. I'll have to watch it again.

Most of the 250 riders didn't get paid that much for putting in a solid finishing race. Woohoo
