Technical violation could see the Queenslander stripped of Sunday win, pending an appeal
S&S Indian is appealing the MotoAmerica decision to disqualify defending Mission King of The Baggers Champion Troy Herfoss from Race Two at Mid-Ohio, which Herfoss won, a MotoAmerica spokesman said.
MotoAmerica issued a Notification of Sanction on Aug. 17, saying that Herfoss was disqualified for a violation of the class ballast rules. The notification says that the “aft-most section of machine main frame is filled with approximately 3.4 pounds of epoxy … the use of epoxy does not comply with section 2.3.10,” which states that ballast used to bring a machine up to minimum weight must be made of solid metal.” Herfoss crossed the line in Race Two ahead of Harley Davidson x Dynojet Factory rider Kyle Wyman and S&S Indian’s Tyler O’Hara.
Astatement on the MotoAmerica website says “Following the second of two Mission King Of The Baggers races at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Sunday, August 17, a sanction was issued to S&S/Indian Motorcycle rider Troy Herfoss. A communication was posted prematurely, and it did not acknowledge the appeal that was made by the team. This appeal is currently under review, and a judgment will be announced later this week when the appeal process has been completed.”
