Who was down to stage left of the start gate and just got loaded onto the Mule?  I missed it.

With 8 years in the class, I wouldn’t really have expected him to go outside like that, especially after all of the passes me made to get there. I was hoping to see him and deegan in the main

Deegan may not be real popular right now back at the “team” truck.

Wow, Smith couldn't pull off the LCQ top 4. Goodnight!

Smith passed 15 people and almost made it. Dude's bad ass. Needs some racecraft practice, but that was impressive all in all.

I don’t feel bad for him at all. Calling that a questionable decision is being way too nice. The guy should be well seasoned enough at this point to know better.

Smith should be a 2 time champ by now. No racecraft.

Hell of an effort from Jordan. 20th to 6th in 5 laps. Not sure cutting down on that last corner would have mattered.

Dude, how old are you and how badly did Deegan hurt you?

The rookie made a bonehead move tonight, but some of you guys seemed excited to get out the pitchforks… sheesh

He was in 5th, that would've been a spot in the main

Is it just me or do the yellow bikes always stand out in terms of looks? I think the HEP machines always look awesome.

Lol, if my memory serves, Smith was on the outside of every turn in that battle.

I wouldn't say he's a shitty person. Kid is filled with skill & talent but his lack of pro experience and a bit of racing immaturity led to that incident IMO. He has some learning to do but his future certainly looks promising. 

Farmer J wrote:

Crazy to think a teenager racing the amateur class would ride over aggressive and with some immaturity....

He's a pro now and like many others he will learn from these mistakes. Yes he could get away with that type of riding before but this is a whole new game. I don't want him to win because he's not a PC rider but I do admire his talent, skill, and dedication.

oh wow, i was wondering what happened and if riders where okay, but it's cause of a gate malfunction. This must suck for some guys being up front in the 450 lcq.

Dude rode his ass off after he stalled it.  But bad start in the LCQ, stalling it killed him, bike not firing up, bad line in the last corner....Can't put the LCQ on anyone but himself.  Would have been fun for the 250 main.  Still might be interesting....
