Atlanta Update - RC Back - No Hepler or Wey

RC returns to Amp'd Mobile Supercross this weekend in Atlanta for his last SX there.

So far it looks like no Broc Hepler for Atlanta.

Since Hepler's concussion from two weeks ago, he's been tested for readiness using a system called imPACT that was developed at UPMC. Its computer software that tests reaction times and other things, and they check you early for reference and store your personal data, so after a crash they check for the difference. Yamaha is leaving it to the medical people to evaluate.

Also out still, Nick Wey, due to his thumb. He's going to be a dad soon too, so best of luck!

Also out - but subject to change any day - news on the fuel fuss. So far it's www dot zipit dot com. Yamaha's Jim Perry was pressed for some details at the last press day and he crafted some pretty creative non-answers!

If you are close to Atlanta, don't forget the "Ride 4 AT" fund raiser at Bremen Sunday morning. RC makes a point to go and so do many top riders.
