3:33 p.m. Weather conditions: air temperature 74 degrees, relative humidity 45 percent, barometer 28.95 inches, adjusted altitude 2,350 feet, track temperature 94 degrees.

Sampey can't get the bike to start and throws down the deadman switch in disgust. That means that she's had her last ride on the Army Suzuki. Ellis needs to win the event to win the title.
