Way to go Jason Farrell on the 7th place,and Lithium rider Rob Pretts on the great finish for your first AMA race.  Great job to the rest of the CCS racers and good luck on Sunday.

I've been watching the live lap times from the Moto-ST feed for about 45 minutes.

About 15 minutes ago everything locked up.  Anyone else having any luck with the live lap times?

I wish they would tell you what the delays are for instead of just putting a red flag up.

Gonna take a wild guess the red flag was for the storms coming in. It was vicious in the Madison area and was heading that way.

I was wondering about that.....  but I was looking at the radar too and it looked like everything was quite aways south and west of Elkhart Lake when everything shut down.

The weather was crazy here all afternoon. 

Big thumbs up to Matt Hall on his 11th place finish in FX as well!

Probably something formed right outside of teh Elkhart area. Got caught in madison during the outbreak there. Good thing the photography store I was in said I could stay a bit until the rain let up (on the bike).

I can post some pics. 

Anyone have any updates on Mark?  He went down before 5 in what I can only guess was a high speed crash.  I know he took an ambulance ride.

Mark is doing alright, I went to medical as soon as i knew it was him.  Coming into five he downshifted from 6 to 5 and the clutch plates absolutely exploded locking up the rear.  He said he held on as long as possible before the bike highsided.  Ended up bumping his head and sprained ankle.

Feuersthaler's chain broke about 100 feet into the race shifting into 2nd :wtf:
