Three Riders Penalized for Using Illegal Fuel at Texas Supercross
PICKERINGTON, Ohio (April 23, 2004) -- AMA Pro Racing has announced that three riders have been penalized 25 points each for using illegal fuel at round 14 of the THQ AMA Supercross Series at Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas on April 17.
Riders receiving the penalty include Tyson Hadsell, Chad Reed and David Vuillemin.
In announcing the penalties, AMA Pro Racing SX/MX Series Manager Steve Whitelock stated that fuel samples were collected from seven motorcycles at the Texas round and that the samples from the motorcycles of riders Hadsell, Reed and Vuillemin were found to be in non-compliance. Fuel from the motorcycles of Josh Hansen, Mike LaRocco, 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 Supercross/Motocross Rulebook.
AMA Pro Racing implemented new fuel requirements beginning with the 2004 season.
