QUALIFYING
450SX
Eli Tomac means business. In what’s been announced as his final season, the Star Racing Yamaha set the pace in the final qualifier with the fastest time of the day. The track is technical but most of the top riders were all doing the same lines and clocking similar times.

Tomac’s 1:03 puts him on pole going into the night show, two-tenths faster than Jett Lawrence. Chase Sexton held the top spot for post of the session and was the final rider in the 1:03 range. Jason Anderson and Hunter Lawrence rounded out the top five, more than a second off Tomac’s pace. Notably fourth through 10th place were all on the same second.
Jett Lawrence was just a hair off in second.
Sexton rounded out the podium and was one of only three riders on the 1:03 mark.

250SX West
Big news out of the 250 West as Levi Kitchen pulled the plug on his championship campaign. After coming down with an illness earlier in the week, he did not ride the qualifying sessions which keep him eligible for the East coast series.
Julien Beaumer was the fastest 250 rider of the day.
Deegan looked fast and clocked second behind Beaumer.
This allowed Julien Beaumer to take the top qualifying spot. The Red Bull KTM rider went back and forth with Haiden Deegan as the two traded the top spot back and forth multiple times. Beaumer’s time was just over a tenth faster than Deegan’s as they were the only two riders in the 1:04 range. Ryder Difrancesco clocked third fastest with Jo Shimoda and Jordon Smith rounding out the top five. Cole Davies, the Star Racing Yamaha rookie, qualified sixth from the B practice.
