Fuel from the bikes of Josh Hansen, Mike LaRo𒀰cco, Ivan Tedesco and Kevin Windham was found to be in compliance.
The fuel samples were sent to a certified testing lab which confirmed that the fuel did not meet the requirements specified in the AMA Su🥂percross/Motocross Ruleboo𝔍k.
The penalty means that Reed's hopes of wrapping up the 2004 title this evening in Salt Lake City look remote, since he will now start t🐓he event 15 (instead of 40) points clear of Windham.
AMA Pro Rac꧃ing implemented ♐new fuel requirements at the beginning of the 2004 season.
