Moseley decided to make it a three-way race on lap two, and the three went lap after lap only a few feet apart. No one seemed to be able to break away or get a wheel under to make a pass. After the halfway mark, the pressure seemed to be getting to Paxia, as he started protecting all the inside lines, giving up some speed but keeping the lead.

MAY 18 Round two of the RACE Superseries ran as a support to the Parts Canada Superbike Championship races, and the quality of racing was on par with the National offering. Derek Bowker scored his second consecutive class victory in the Amateur Formula final. Bowker's first-round win was a runaway, but this time he had to fight very hard for the win. Fast starter Bill Card, on the McBride's Honda, led for the first few laps, with Honda riders Jeremy French and Michael Ferriera following. Bowker, on the Yamaha, was battling for fourth with Diablo Suzuki pilot Yannick Beauregard. By the time lap five went in the books. Bowker had made short work of the three riders in front of him, towing French into second. French made several runs at Bowker, the last of which caused him to bobble, and he slowed and settled for a safe second. Bowker now has a commanding early lead in the seven-race championship. The Can-Am 125cc champion of 2002, Stuart Nadell, staged a solid wire-to-wire performance in the Pro 125cc GP race, and in doing so he missed the best race of the day. Nodell's victory of several seconds belied the true race within the race. For the entire six-lap melee, four riders ran as one in the battle for runner-up honors. Jim Struke, Corey Sherman (on the Carrera Leathers entry), Canadian Armed Forces-sponsored Yvan Desy, and John Dempsey all swapped positions through the race, with no individual able to gain the upper hand. As if that drama weren't enough, the gang of four came up on two lappers total- Shannonville Motorsport Park: Derek Bowker (156) leads Yannick Beauregard (969) in the Amateur Formula final at round two of the RACE Superseries in Shannonville, Ontario, Canada. 86 JUNE 25, 2003' II: U II: e n e 'ftI" s Iy immersed in their own tango as the last two corners approached. Six riders somehow made it through the tight left-hander known as Allen's Comer, and positions changed again. Sherman went from fourth to second, while Dempsey's slide and near highside relegated him from second to fifth. Struke had the best view of the action as he threaded his way through into third, with Desy right alongside, taking fourth. The large crowd was thrilled by the finjsh. After a poor start, Darren James led the most important portion of the Motosport Plus Canadian Thunder race, taking the lead halfway through the six-lap final and then a comfortable victory. Ducati-mounted Robert Trottier was point man for the thundering pack through laps one and two. Adam Bennett ran second on his Aermachi for most of lap one, but Jesse Lauder, on the Barrie HD-supported Buell, made his pass between turns one and two. Lauder upped his personal pace on lap two. Then James came calling on the Ruthless Racing Buell, and the two Harley-powered mounts quickly reeled in Trottier. Bennett followed the two Buells. Less than a lap later, Trottier miscued. Lauder almost did likewise and backed off, letting James have the cushion and the race win. In Z I Cycle SV 650 Cup racing, Marc St. Amand sped to the race win. with Jody Pearce second, James Collins third and Lawrence Kovac fourth. St. Amand now has the series points lead.
