it a little bit before I did. He was running
up
the back, and you go
through that
section
and
you
kind of go
edge to edge. And May
was
coming up and
Jamie
was
jusr
coming
back in line and kind
of
Eot
pinched
off.
And
when he
got
out of it,
then
I
had a head of
steam coming in, and I almost actually ran
into the back
of
May
when he checked
up.
And then I
just
got
the
run
on the outside of
him
going
in before Canada Corner there."
May finished founh
for the fifth time
this
season,
"l
almost hit
[Hacking],"
I'1ay said.
"lt
really screwed up my
drive. I lost a lot
of
time. lt allowed Disalvo
to catch up to me.
Our magic number's fourth. I finished
founh every race this season.
l'll take ir, I
guess."
Well
behind May came Erion Honda's
Josh
Hayes, by himself, with four seconds
on the
Jordan
Suzuki team of
Steve Rapp
and
Jason
Pridmore.
Jake
Holden
crashed
the third
Jordan
Suzuki out of fifth
place
on
the fourth lap.
Eighth
through llth was covered
by
a little over a
quarter
of a second.
Attack Kawasaki's Damon Buckmaster
took eighth
three
laps
from the
end,
with

Suzuki's Geofr May was runnint
second
and on
form to
take
his firs!
pDdium
of the seison
when
he had to rake
e\rasive action
to dodge
Jamie
Hacking. "l
felt I could have passed
HackinS
and took the lead lor a
while," he said. "lf I
did, I would hrve
burned my tire up,
but then I would have
had even less
at the end. And I
knew I was going
to
have
to conserve
the tire for the
end. We
didn't fall ofi much. We
only fell offa couple
oftenths, not
even a full second over-
all.
And those
guys
iust
got
faster. I think the {astesr lap
of the race
was the last ra.e. We
iust
cen't
match that
yet."
As
he was holding back,
sinint on Hacking,
he found himselfhav-
in8 to dodte
the Yamaha rider,
"Hacking
screwed up
rhere
in
the middle,
and he cut right
[tack across
the track in front ofme.
I almost hit him. lt r€a.lly
screwed up my drive.
I
lost
a
lot of time. It allowed
ljason]
Disalvo
to catch up to me."
