get it back," Ferry said at the post-race
press conference. "1 don't think I've ever
finished off the podium here so 1 can't be
too happy with finishing second. My
arms got a little bit tired but I'll go back
and work ·on that and get my Suzuki up
front."
Pingree finished a season-best thirdplace, broken finger and all. '1 broke my
pinkie finger last week at Gainesville
and that didn't help at all, but 1 said 1
was going fa just charge and give it
everything 1 had," the Pro Circuit rider
said. "1 went as hard as 1 could from the
start. Dowd and Ferry were just going so
fast - I've got to hand it them, they were
doing a good job today."
Sheak finished a season-best fourth
ahead of Yamaha-mounted Willoh,
another top score for a rider on the
season. Carmichael was a frustrated
sixth, followed by Mota XXX's Brian
Deegan, Dement, Roncada and Skaggs
in 10th.
