Weather Update at 11:05 a.m.: Revised Schedule Update
As track walk was ending, at 8:15 a.m. there was severe weather warning on the jumbotron of the stadium that read: "Please seek shelter in the concourse area."
The SMX League has posted a revised schedule for today: NO qualifying this morning. The action on the track will start with the two Wild Card (LCQ) races starting at 1:30 p.m. local time. Then, the one and only SMX Next qualifying session will take place (there are more than 22 riders so we will need this session to determine who makes the main event).
Opening ceremonies will be at bumped back 15 minutes from the scheduled time of 2:30 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. local time.
At the time, the motos are still 20 minutes plus one lap.
Stay tuned for more updates.
