Top Times and News from the SD SX
Riders are calling the course in Qualcomm Stadium the best of
the year so far. The large floor space gives the Dirt Wurx staff
options that they don’t have in baseball stadiums. There is a
very big set of whoops coming right out of the first turn that are
separating the men from the boys – and the short-legged riders
from those with longer limbs. In fact, Mike Alessi was thrown
from his Suzuki and broke his collarbone during the second
session today. The start straight is long and wide and rolls into
a sandy, sweeping left-hander. One of the rhythm lanes is
allowing a few riders to triple through it and into the following
turn – an off-camber, 180-degree right-hander.
In the Lites class, Jason Lawrence kept his momentum going by
setting the quickest lap time of the day. Dungey was a very
close second, though, and he looks like he wants redemption
from last weekend’s disaster. Brett Metcalfe looked good, too,
but crashed pretty hard during the second session and pulled
off the track. He got his foot looked at by the Asterisk Mobile
Medical Team, but it doesn’t look like anything is broken. Brett
qualified fifth fastest and he’s still planning on racing tonight.
