This is from Angelle's site, in it she says to pass it on the the mater so I have.
"I am still in shock,.. I just can't believe my luck. We went to the scales before the run and I weighed in a 615 with NO helmet. After the run,... 610 with the helmet. I weighed over and over and over and still only 610. I couldn't accept the answer from the scale guys,.. it was like a horrible dream and I couldn't wake up. When the tech official said "Thats it! I called it in,... you are disqualified!" I exploded with emotion. I was livid,.. I was hurt... I was embarrassed.... I was devasted and all of a sudden weak. I felt like someone just ripped my heart out and I just wanted to SCREAM and KICK and PUNCH! WHY WAS THIS HAPPENING TO ME? That is all I could think. But then it hit me,... Antron is still in this race. We have to pull it together and get him to the winners circle. And like the TRUE CHAMPIONS that my guys are,... They did it. Going home with the points lead anyway was all that we needed to regain our confidence and get right back on track. I am going to have a special message on my bike in Memphis,... so keep your eyes open for it. I will NOT let this stop me from fighting with all of my heart and soul. I fell but I am back up and running! Thank you guys and gals for all of your support and especially your prayers. I couldn't do it without you.
I also wanted to add that I asked the camera crew to PLEASE NOT INTERVIEW me about this,... I was way to emotional to speak and they shoved the camera in my face right after the tech official called it for me. I had NO TIME to compose myself. I CAN NOT stop my emotions. I am more passionate about my racing than I have ever been about anything in my entire life and if those keyboard jockeys can't understand that then once again they can.... well you know where I am going with this. For those that are supporting me,... I thank GOD for you EVERYDAY!!!!
and YES,.. atleast 5 other bike racers came to me and told me they were lighter after the run and barely made it in. It WAS NOT JUST ME,... I just so happened to be the only one that didn't make the scales blink to 615. NHRA will let you slide it you can just make the scales flicker to 615 even if it is not a solid 615. I just got BIT. I was also told that this is NOT the first time or even the second or third,... this has happened to many people at Brainerd. In eliminations and qualifying. Three other racers that it happened to came to me and confirmed it.
We weighed on the same scale before the run that we weighed on after the run. I hope this answers everyones questions. If any of you are Nitromater members,.. please pass this on for me. I won't let myself go there anymore. Even if it's just one person hating and bashing,.. it just hurts too much.
That's it for now,... I have only one day at home and I am off to Memphis,... got lots of bills to pay and clothes to wash. Talk to you guys again soon.
God Bless

I can't wait to see what she puts on the bike and more importantly I can't wait to see her win.
