Carmichael penalized 25 points!

Wow. Even bigger than "Sparkplug" is the news that Rick Carmichael has been docked 25 HUGE points for using "illegal" fuel at San Diego! Here's the story at Racer X Online.

Talk about shaking up the points. For any other rider, that could spell the end of a championship run. For RC, all bets are still off. And I can't imagine how pissed off he must be. Ironically, this means that all of the Big 3 (Stewart, Reed and now Carmichael) have been dinged for running illegal fuel at one point during their careers. Reed was '04, Stewart in '05 and now this.

Let's wait and see what Suzuki has to say.
