Weeks ago, when StreaMiner was covered in Masonite and duct tape, we said that a really cool paint job was in the offing. Well, Duke's Body Shop pulled out all the stops and StreaMiner really ROCKS! Just hours before heading to Nevada Andrew Sourk, Jerrod Bouchard and Craig George unveiled the shiny new paint scheme topped off with the first public use of Missouri S&T's new logo. With a new racing venue and audience, they figured that they may as well get a jump on the publicity.
The 1,600-mile trip was uneventful, if you don't count sleeping in the truck during a surprise snowfall. Monday's first qualifying series involving just five bikes was held under difficult conditions. Gusty crosswinds and cold temperatures, topped off by bone-chilling rain showers all persuaded the riders that one (or none) two-mile qualifying runs would just have to do.
