five overall, taking fourth and
fifth, respectively, edging out
fourth-place Pro 1 rider Adam
Bonneur (Suzuki/Fly/Maxxis),
who completed the final two laps
without front brakes.
After a wrong turn on the first
lap sent Baylor, Mark Heresco
(KTM/O'Neal/Kenda), and Hig-
gins on a short loop off the trail,
the trio reconnected with the
race and pushed forward. Then,
according to Baylor, "Heresco
had a pretty good get-off on the
second lap. I stopped to make
sure he was all right. He wasn't
moving, and it was ugly." Her-
esco paid a visit to the EMT and
was sent home with a reported
hyper-extended arm.
"After that I got some clear
track ahead of me and just
worked my way through the
guys," recalled Baylor. "Drew
and I rode together a couple
laps. Me and Bonneur rode a
couple laps together. Then Nick
(Fahringer) and I got together
until he got stuck." Baylor said.
"There was a lapper that was
kind of sprawled out going up
the hill. He (Fahringer) bumped
him and went down, and when
he hit him, it knocked him back
over, so I had a clear line.
"From there on it was just
smooth and consistent. It was
one of those tracks where you
could get ahead of yourself, and
it was really tough to get around
lappers out there. Making sure
you didn't make those little mis-
takes was tough to do today. It
was fun. Luckily I put my bike on
the box and took back over the
points lead here."
