The past few rounds have been rough for the #665 of Ronnie Higgerson. After two rounds of sunny skies then torrential down pours Higgerson was looking forward to two dry motos. Unfortunately the electrical problems that plagued Higgerson at the last round struck again in moto one of the day. Six laps into moto number one and running in fifth place Higgerson would find himself sitting on the side of the track watching the remaining laps.  For the second moto the team would do their best to try and identify the issue and get Higgerson back on the line. Higgerson would run as high as sixth in the second moto before ultimately crossing the finish line in ninth. Higgerson heads to round seven in seventh place overall in Pro points.

Casey Martin’s day would be eerily similar to Higgerson as Martin would go onto have issues sidelining him as well. At the five lap mark of the second moto Martin’s machine would start to lose power around the rough Minnesota track until he pulled off to the side of the track. Casey now sits 13th overall in points as the Vechery racing team heads back to Ohio to diagnose the issues with both race bikes and get them ready for round eight in New York.
