Trey Artifice went out for the first timed practice a little past 9 a. m. The track had already formed strong ruts from the 250 timed practice. This turn was after the last downhill from Mt. St . Sue. The braking bumps were not bad yet so Trey was able to decelerate enough to take the inside line plus shorten the turn leading to the rear section of the track. Trey flipped a 2: 27. 055 in timed practice to qualify sixth overall in the 450 class.

After moto 1 the particular Honda team made suspension adjustments to Trey’s bike to make him feel more comfortable on the rough and sketchy Glen Helen track. Trey went softer on the suspension and said he and the team learned more about the bike setup. Right here Trey scrubs a single jump in the back section of the track.

Trey takes the exterior line as he exits the link turn to gain momentum to rise Mt. St . Helen. If cyclists took the inside berm they would get rid of speed going up the hill.

Trey coming down the largest downhill on the circuit. In moto 2 the conditions were on their worst as the braking bumps and the dryer conditions made it difficult to slow down before the turn. Notice just how wide and close to the fans Trey goes to avoid the braking bumps.

Trey was not the fan with this rhythm section. It had been hard to push hard through this and if the riders got off rhythm they could lose a lot of time. Right here Trey is battling with Jason Anderson for 4th place at the end of moto 2 .
