Hayden penalized
At the conclusion of the Genuine Suzuki
Accessories Superstock race at California Speedway on April 5,
2003, AMA Pro Racing impounded cylinder heads from #22, Tommy
Hayden and #56, Tony Meiring, for further investigation. This
inspection was completed Sunday May 4, 2003 at Infineon Raceway
(the next round in the series). Tommy Hayden’s cylinder head
was determined to have minor machining in the combustion
chamber. A penalty of 20 points and a $2000 fine were applied.
Tony Meiring’s cylinder head was found to be within
specification.
