WAIT DISQUALIFIED FROM LOUDON SUPERTWINS

WESTERVILLE, Ohio -- Matt Wait has been disqualified from the
Loudon round of the Progressive Insurance Harley-Davidson SuperTwins
Series race. The disqualification was due to illegal head
modifications. The Lodi, California rider was disqualified earlier
from the SuperTwins event at Mid-Ohio. The two penalties drops Wait to
seventh in the series standings. Ben Bostrom, with three wins, has a
commanding 37-point lead in the series over Nate Wait with four rounds
remaining.
