Jeremy McWilliams turned the tables on his Progressive Insurance/Mission Foods Indian teammate Tyler O’Hara in MotoAmerica Mission Super Hooligan Race Two Sunday at Ridge Motorsports Park. McWilliams out braked defending Champion O’Hara on the last lap to capture his first win in the class. Pole-sitter Andy DiBrino finished third for the second straight day on his DiBrino Racing KTM 890 Duke R.
Update: Following the conclusion of Race Two, Team Saddlemen (the entrant of rider Cory West) protested the legality of the handlebars on the factory Indian FTR 1200s of winner Jeremy McWilliams and runner-up Tyler O’Hara.
Section 2.7.10.8.b of the Super Hooligan Technical Regulations states: “No clip-ons that have been converted to top-mounted handlebars permitted. The end of the handlebar must sit above the top plane of the upper triple clamp.”
The protest was upheld by the AMA/FIM North America Stewards Panel. The Progressive Insurance/Mission Foods Indian team appealed that decision to the AMA/FIM Appeals Panel, but the appeal was denied.
As a result, McWilliams and O’Hara were disqualified from Race Two and revised results were issued with DiBrino the winner of Race Two. The revised results are immediately below and the original results are below them.
