Of course there’s no tracks markers when you blow them out.

In situations like that it needs to be discretion. Yea it can get dicey at times, but race director discretion needs to be the final word. In that situation pelletier says minear finishes behind kitchen because yes he went off the track but then re-entered at the next safest point. Having to turn around and go backwards to hit the transponder would be fkn ridiculous. Minear finishes 1 spot behind kitchen, next.

Unfortunately the rule is very clear…track cut is one position and gaining a position is also one position. Seth cut the track = one position loss and then he gained a position which = the other position loss….For Dylan he didn’t gain a position with his cut so it only = one position. The AMA got it right.

Help me understand what the AMA did wrong. Deegan clearly broke a rule and was punished, isn't that what we want? Would you prefer the AMA not apply a penalty in that situation? The Ferry penalty is iffy but the Deegan one is pretty straightforward.

Who knew hitting a marker was a greater sin than jumping on a Red Cross flag? Glad safety is priority.

I honestly feel like the only reason Ferry got a penalty was because he took out a title contender. There is no other justification for a penalty there. The fact that he got the same penalty as Deegan did for his shenanigans with Shimoda last year is ridiculous.

Its worse this year than ever before. They made the worst 2 calls in history w/ the red lights, no action on lappers, then extreme action on an aggressive pass IN AN LCQ FOR FINAL TRANSFER. Not to mention deegan HAVING A WIN TAKEN AWAY for hitting a track marker 2 feet into a split lane (which is a dumb rule to start with). The entire AMA rules enforcement crew needs a complete rebuild, they can't even be consistent with their lack of enforcement its insane. Maybe having ex racers and industry insiders with 30 years of relationships in the...

Were there any lead-in lights to warn of this potential hazard?

Flag Out - Right corner of picture. No yellows flags, no lights. This is a still shot after Hunter rolling, yellow flags stop waving, and lights turn off. Official folds/grabs flag with opposite hand, flag no longer fully displayed....no lights, no yellows. Official starts to drop flag again. Flag fully displayed again. Not 100% sure why 1 still shot or 1 moment in a video is being used to argue the 450 class, rather than look at the entire situation as a whole. As much as people dislike the AMA at the moment, they got this one right. 250s, not...

“We changed the warning light to yellow because we forgot that our rule book says you can’t jump on a red light.”

So the rules regarding a red light and Red Cross flag remain unchanged, so how about those penalties for last weekend? Because not once has there been a rule in the rule book that said you can jump on a red light or red cross flag.

I challenge anyone to find reference to a "pre-light" prior to this week. Rule book, email, audio from riders meeting, anything..... see if you can find it.
