"I had a terrible start—started
12th and worked my way up,"
Surratt said. "It was a big step in
the right direction from the last
round."
SLR Honda's Tallon LaFoun-
taine claimed fourth followed by
Precision Concepts/Chapar-
ral Motorsports Kawasaki rider

early class leader Jack Simpson
of the SLR Honda team.
Oliveira leads Pro II points at
210 followed by Kai Aiello (167
after his fifth in class) and Simp-
son (164).
Despite not being fully re-
covered from her race-ending
crash at the ISDE in France last
month, Brandy Richards man-
aged to pick up where she left
off at round six, dominating Pro

ner—third. Richards regained the
