Team Kawasaki Penalized!

Holy Toledo. James Stewart and Michael Byrne, Team Kawasaki's only two riders AND the only two stroke racers in the Open class, were both penalized and docked 25 points (!) for using illegal fuel at Budds Creek. Here's the story at Racer X Online.

One word: unbelievable.

I think it was last year during the Supercross season when Team Yamaha was given a similar penalty. It turned out that Yamaha had some old, not-legal, gas left over in the team's transporter. We'll see if Kawasaki cops to that excuse, or maybe they'll admit to cheating? Riiiiiiight....
