00:00Crowds fired up here at Anaheim for this, it's last chance qualifiers, I'll say it every week.
00:09Sometimes the best race of the night is right here.
00:12There's so much on the line.
00:13Most of these riders are privateers.
00:16They're trying to make a name for themselves and make some money.
00:18They've got to go to the main to do it.
00:21So let's see who does do it.
00:23Rebs are up.
00:26Gates down.
00:27And Bird and a good launch on the 70.
00:33Oh, it's going to be Crockett-Meyers, I believe, on that.
00:35Suzuki going to get it done with a whole shot of Masciangelo on the 800 right there.
00:40Barnabar.
00:41Hey, kudos to Masciangelo right there, making no contact and making the move.
00:47Oh!
00:48Hold on to it.
00:48Hold on to it.
00:49Over-jumped and just able to survive.
00:53Wow, that got crazy.
00:56Yeah.
00:58I think he went long in that section.
01:01A hundred percent.
01:02That's Lane Shaw, by the way, in that 129.
01:04Yeah, Lane Shaw over-jumps.
01:05Yeah.
01:06Completely out of control once he over-jumps that triple in that rhythm lane.
01:11Thank goodness he got through there.
01:13Clean great heads-up riding by the riders behind him.
01:16Looking ahead.
01:17Everybody's safe.
01:19Woo!
01:20So Masciangelo, who is very quick in the LCQ last time out in San Diego, the Canadian,
01:26leads it over Myers, Colby Kopp, and Lane Shaw's back near miss.
01:31And he doesn't want to nearly miss the main.
01:33He wants in.
01:34Where'd he come from?
01:35I thought the guy was done.
01:37And there he is.
01:38Yeah.
01:39Back in contention.
01:41He is fifth.
01:41Aiden Shive of the 137 is in that last transfer spot.
01:45But watch the Kawasaki of Shaw.
01:47He's got his own team out here.
01:49He's been a privateer in these ranks the last couple of years.
01:52Let's see if he can put it in.
01:53Well, this is right here.
01:54So he over-jumped this particular triple.
01:57Oh, he comes up short this time.
02:01That rhythm section's got it out for Shaw.
02:04Hate to see that.
02:06Hey, Myers is retaking the lead.
02:08You know, he's been riding well the last couple weeks.
02:11Rocket has.
02:12Great to see that.
02:13He had a great amateur career.
02:15Yep.
02:16Great to see him out here having a good last-chance qualifier.
02:19Yeah, and a real fun kid to talk to.
02:21A lot of personality.
02:21He's getting away on that Suzuki.
02:23Masciangelo, he's got pressure.
02:26Shive going to try to make the move around the outside of the 137.
02:32Shive closed the door.
02:34And I'm going to tell you, Masciangelo could have been a lot more aggressive there
02:37if he wanted to be.
02:38That's great riding.
02:40Oh, watch on the inside.
02:41The Omaha Dominique Thurie.
02:43He wants in.
02:44He's fifth.
02:44He needs to make a pass.
02:45He might have it.
02:46Audible switches to the inside.
02:48Look, it's able to double into that corner.
02:50Switch back down.
02:53Thurie getting it done.
02:54So he's fourth now.
02:56That's going to push Colby Kopp, the former.
02:59Oh!
02:59Well, I was going to say he used to play high school football.
03:01Is that Jorgensen or Kopp?
03:03Jorgensen and Kopp teammates battling back there.
03:08Kopp's former high school football player.
03:09He almost put the tackle on Thurie.
03:11Oh, look at this power run through the whoops by the 137 of Shive.
03:17Made the move on Masciangelo.
03:23Thurie.
03:25Thurie on a run here.
03:26All right.
03:27JT.
03:28Well, that 137, Aiden Shive, the crossover.
03:31We were talking so much in that SMX Next race about those kids getting to ride with pro riders that are competing here.
03:37Well, Aiden Shive is one of those.
03:39He's at the Lawrence compound as well, battling with the likes of Kate Johnson in that next tier coming up.
03:45So, for Kate Johnson, yes, really tough SMX Next race.
03:48Not the result he wanted.
03:50But he can look ahead and see guys that he rides with on a daily basis about to qualify for this 250 West Main event.
03:56Well, maybe, but no one is safe in the LCQRC.
03:59We're trying to keep up with it.
04:00It is back and forth.
04:01It's like musical chairs, and I'm having a hard time predicting what these guys are going to do.
04:07There's so many different lines that these guys are taking also because there's so many ruts in the corners compared to the last couple weekends.
04:14Last couple rounds, so.
04:17Dury up the inside line under the whoops.
04:23And makes the move.
04:26Dury has not made a main.
04:28The German rider on the heartbeat hot sauce, solitary Yamaha, but he's in position now.
04:33He's climbed from seventh to second.
04:36He's made 17 mains in his career, but the LCQ's sixth and tenth so far to start 26.
04:43But he is styling right now.
04:45Yeah, two more laps.
04:46Next time they come by, it'll be white flag.
04:50So, Dury, I mean, he's got plenty of speed.
04:53I think for him now, just hold this position right here.
04:57Don't take any unnecessary risks.
05:01But you don't have to.
05:02But he looks good.
05:03Riding extremely well here tonight, especially in this last chance qualifier.
05:06A lot of action earlier on, and he helped his composure.
05:11So, great riding.
05:12Masciangelo, I want to mention who led this thing, is Ford.
05:15He's the one trying to hang on to it.
05:18And Jorgensen, who's made his way around Cobb, going to try to make another run at it.
05:22There is Masciangelo, final position there.
05:24Yeah, I mean, outside of Crockett Myers, I mean, there's been a lot of shuffling around.
05:29And that's why I was saying, like, Thury, he's just kind of been steady.
05:34There he got unlocked.
05:35Look at this.
05:36He's catching Myers.
05:38It'll be interesting to see if he goes for the win.
05:40Look at Myers looking back there.
05:42Again, no reason for Thury, other than a start position, to have to make this move to transfer.
05:49So, I think you play it safe here unless the door just opens up for you perfectly.
05:52I don't think he's listening.
05:54No, he's not.
05:55He's going to go to the inside.
05:56I like this play right here.
05:58To the inside, Thury takes the lead from Myers.
06:03Crockett's going to fight back around the outside, or will he think better of it?
06:06Well, he's going to be on the inside right here.
06:08Careful!
06:09Oh, no!
06:10Thury's off the track!
06:11You've got to worry about those top four spots.
06:14Keep it on two wheels.
06:15Said he wasn't listening, Weege.
06:17I would take the GOAT's advice, just trying to be careful.
06:20Oh!
06:20Oh!
06:21He and Scheib almost collected each other.
06:23That was a great, great what Scheib was able to do.
06:28To kind of check up, not turn down early, clip his front wheel on the back wheel of Thury.
06:33Great riding by Scheib.
06:37Masciangelo back in.
06:38It might make the move in the whoops on Scheib.
06:41Oh, boy.
06:42Oh, wait a minute.
06:43Jorgensen trying to get in it.
06:45Oh, Jorgensen's going to go for it.
06:50Got up to the inside and makes it happen!
06:55Jorgensen in the last turn.
06:56The rider out of Denmark shoves the 800 of Masciangelo out of the main event.
07:02What a pass for the final position.
07:06Heartbreak for Masciangelo.
07:08Oh!
07:11The only thing you count on is that the LCQs never lack for action.
07:16That was a lot of fun.
07:17That was so much fun to watch.
07:19Here's the pass we just talked about.
07:22Jorgensen is in the perfect spot.
07:25Boom!
07:25Takes Masciangelo up the corner, makes it.
