The plan going into this weekend was to fill the last two open spots in the 250cc class for the Red Bull Straight Rythym race coming up Oct 10th. However, mother nature had other plans.While timed qualifying went smoothly, showers hit the area immediately following qualifying, making it too dangerous to race the technical half mile strip.

Organizers decided that instead of racing to find the top two riders to send to the event, the top 6 qualifiers would advance. While this brings the 250cc class up to 14 riders, rather than the original 10, the 4 slowest riders will be eliminated in timed practice on the day of the event. The 6 riders advancing from the qualifier at Pala are : Michael Leib, Axell Hodges, Broc Shoemaker, Brandon Scharer, Zac Commans, and Dare Demartille.

James Stewart and Malcolm Stewart compete during Red Bull Straight Rhythm in Pomona, CA, USA on 4 October 2014.

The second annual Red Bull Straight Rythym race is shaping up to be even more exciting that last years innagural event. With Big hitters like Ryan Dungey and Ken Roczen competing against the reigning champ, James Stewart, will most definately provide some very entertaining racing.
