Mt. Morris Pre-Race Notes:


It rained a lot on Friday, but Saturday and today have been dry so the track is in great condition.

Langston had a hard spill yesterday in practice and took a ride in the Asterisk Medic Mule, but he did practice today and is set to race.

Also Robbie Reynard had an incident this morning in practice with a quad that was crossing the track and suffered a broken thumb.

Tortelli twisted his knee up in practice yesterday and will not compete today.
