2018 IRONMAN NATIONAL | 250 FASTEST QUALIFIERS

It is a muddy one today in Indiana. 

Due to the severe mud at the 12th round of the 2018 AMA Nationals in Indiana at the Ironman race track, officials only allowed one qualifying session per group. 250 group “B” was first on the track this morning giving them the advantage of a smooth race track. This put Hunter Sayles first in overall qualifying. The first “A” group rider was Joey Savatgy who was seven second off the pace due to the sloppy track conditions. This made for top name riders to place outside the top 40. However, the AMA rule stats that if a rider sits top ten in points they automatically transfer to the motos without having to be in the top 40 in qualifying. This still left out top riders like Enzo Lopes, Dakota Alix, Ryan Sipes, James DeCotis, Mitchell Harrison and Sean Cantrell out of the motos today.
