AMA NATIONAL GUARD SUPERBIKE SERIES
Geoff May (99) battles with
Chris Fillmore (11) on Saturday
over seventh place.
raced a Superbike here
in 2011. "I liked it better
than yesterday; a little bit
better, especially at the
end I got a very good
rhythm. I got a good
start and the first few
laps I was kind of okay,
then Josh got past me
and did a couple of very
fast laps. I couldn't keep
up with him. I was not so
good in some corners
and then I calmed down
and started to get into a
very good rhythm. I finished a little bit closer and that's
the idea. We're happier than yesterday and the Suzuki is working
pretty good and I'm looking forward to Barber."
Herrin was back on the box
Sunday, but searching for answers.
"Towards the end of the race I
faded obviously," he said. "I have
no excuses for that. I was making
little mistakes and for some reason every time Martin would run
wide I thought in my head, 'Oh,
here's my chance to catch up or
to pass him,' [but] I just followed
him every time. You know, he'd
run wide and I'd run wide, or he'd
have a bobble, I'd have a bobble,
he'd wheelie, I'd wheelie. That
was really hurting me. Towards
the end he really dropped the
hammer and started reeling in
Josh. I was hoping that I could
stay with him, but I just wasn't
able to."
Hayden was some 19 seconds
back from Hayes at the end, and
looking forward to some tighter
racetracks. And Eslick was again
fifth.
"It was a good weekend," said
Eslick. "It started off a little rough
because I was off the pace. Then
I had a crash in qualifying and
that set me back, but my Jordan Suzuki crew worked hard
to give me a good bike for the
rest of the weekend. In Saturday's race, I got a bad start and
had to work my way up and I lost
the lead pack, so it was a lonely
race for me. On Sunday, I got a
good start and was able to hang
in there. I'm still struggling a little
as I get to know the bike, but with
some more seat time we should
be right there with them." CN
