WIND
IN THE
P44
put on a sprint that carried him
past DeLong and up to within six
seconds of Girroir. Girroir knew
Baylor was coming and with just
a few miles to go to the finish,
Girroir laid the bike over, allowing
Baylor to take the win, with Girroir
apparently in second. Although,
after the race, Girroir was docked
one position for fueling in front of
the wrong pits (the Yamaha pits).
"Man, I'm beat. That was
rough," said Baylor. "I had a good
team and a great pit strategy,
and I'm pumped on it."
Girroir's mistake moved De
-
Long into second.
"I had a good start going into
the woods, but I tightened up a
little, and it took me a couple of
laps to loosen up," said DeLong.
"The guys really killed it in the pit,
and I gained several passes, and
I was able to get up into second.
Me and Stew hooked up and
we sprinted for two laps or so.
With about two laps to go, Stew
poured it on, and I had nothing
on him, so I just put it in cruise."
The drop from second to third
made a nine-point swing in point
standings for Girroir, although he
still leads the standings. After six
rounds, Girroir leads by 10 points
over Baylor.
Craig DeLong was second overall.
Points leader Johnny
Girroir crossed the
finish line in second but
was docked a position
for refueling in the
wrong area.
