Due to a shortage of scoring transponders, not all WSMC Toyota 200 racers had practice times recorded Friday at Willow Springs International Raceway. Racers without transponders Friday included Jimmy Moore, Michael Hannas and Andrew Nelson.
Final qualifying for the WSMC Toyota 200 has been split into two groups. Riders without transponders will wait until the first session ends to retrieve a transponder from a racer in the first qualifying group before going out for their qualifying session.
There are enough transponders for all 40 bikes in the race.
