Eldora Dampened by Rain.
The main event at the high-banked Eldora half-mile was cancelled when rain swept through as it was about to begin. As heats had already taken place, the AMA paid the purse by the heat finishes and gave all the riders a single point. Chris maintained his points lead and the team headed north to Michigan.
"Things were going pretty good. We were looking to be on the front row for the main event. Due to a red flag we ended up getting the slowest heat, so we were going to line up fourth. The lengthy introduction was just enough allow Mother Nature to take over and tell us to pack our stuff up and go home."
The next stop is a few hours north in Lake Odessa, MI.
