[coverattach=1]Pomona, Thursday: Rivas knew the moment the engine in the G2 Motorsports Drag Specialties S&S Cycle V-Twin Pro Stock Motorcycle fired up Thursday that his first qualifying run for Sunday's Auto Club Finals might not be a good one. And he was correct.
A leak in the intake system combined with an electrical glitch that prevented Chris Rivas' motor revving and Rivas rode it to the end at just 26 mph.
"The intake leak was compounded by the electrical-system problem," explained team crew chief George Smith. "It prevented the engine form performing at its full potential. We will fix it and have the new combination ready for Friday's next qualifying run."
