The AMA decided to grid the heat race finishers first and the DNS factory bikes after that. This resulted in what was basically an inverted start. The first lap was a total scramble. Here Neil, Miguel Duhamel and Jake Zemke all head to the front.

Neil and Ben both get great re-starts
Neil's winners circle burnout was epic. See for yourself.
