/ Scott

It has rained a bit. Not much. Stopping soon too.

/ Scott

Track seems like it could be hard-ish to pass on? Not much to separate guys. But we thought the same last weekend and it ended up great.

/ Scott

Qualifying all done! A couple hour break and then it’s race time!

/ Scott

McElrath says the track is difficult to setup for. Is it the track? Is it the Beta? It's a new bike for him.

/ Scott

Sucks for Guillod. He was looking good all day.

/ Scott

Damn Bloss ending the season the same way he started it: on the ground. Luckily he seems to be okay though.. 2 crashes in that Wildcard race for him.

/ Scott

Wildcard time! This race for 250s is strictly for gate pick... all the riders will make it in. That's too bad... would be cool to see more 250 guys. A few guys hurt from the past couple of weekends makes it tough though.

/ Scott

It's official from the AMA. Beaumer will fill-in for Hymas on Team USA at MXoN.

Good time for Guillod! He hasn't qualified for any of these yet this year. Can he get it done in the Final?

Top 4 title contenders top 4 in this session... epic.

/ Scott

The crowd is super into it. Big cheers when Deegan pops up on the board in 1st at the end of that session.

/ Scott

Title contenders Kitchen, DiFrancesco, and Beaumer all with 0.07 seconds that session. Gonna be good tonight!

/ Scott

Most of the guys actually did end up improving their time in Q2. Except Beaumer... his Q1 time will remain fastest.

/ Scott

Track is slower… at least for now. A bit slick it seems.

/ Scott

Second qualifying sessions underway now. Let's see if this track gets faster... track crew put some water down in between sessions but other than remains relatively unchanged.

/ Scott

Fan turnout here is pretty amazing already. It’s gonna be packed come night show!

McElrath a bit off the pace all weekend so far… not sure what’s up. Expect him to be near the top of this group.

/ Scott

KTM off to a great start! Currently holding pole position in both classes.
