the perfect Daytona slipstream.
Third went to O'Hara's team-
mate, Jeremy McWilliams.
Race two was a bar-room
brawl of a race in which Cory
West finally broke his Day

tona bad luck to take a first win
on the high banks. Or so he
thought. Post-race inspection of
his Saddlemen Racing Harley-
Davidson Pan America revealed
an illegal airbox had been fitted
and he was stripped of his
result, so it was O'Hara who
again came up the winner, this
time by 0.058 of a second ahead
of teammate McWilliams. The
podium was rounded out by first-
time rostrum man Mark Price on
with Team Saddlemen's Cory
West third on 25. Kyle Wyman
and O'Hara are fourth and fifth,
respectively, on 26 and 25
points apiece.

Kyle Wyman got it together
in race two, blitzing clear of the
field to record a crushing eight-

Gillim third. Mechanical drama
had O'Hara way down in 11th
place in race two.
With one round down, the

Cory West (13) had a debut Daytona win snatched
away after it was found his Harley-Davidson
Pan America had an illegal airbox fitted.
When Kyle Wyman's Harley (33) was running,
this was as close as anyone got to him all weekend.
