"I kind of wish that I'd had a
good start to battle it out with
Gary; I never really got close
enough to him, maybe 20 sec-
onds. I had him in my sights, but
me and Gary were both riding
really well today."
Like Brabec, Argubright had
a horrible start and had to come
from behind on his Bel-Ray/
Braking/Sidi-sponsored FX
450. "I was right next to Ricky
[on the start line] and we both
couldn't get our bikes started;
we were like inch-worm racing!"
he reported. "We got going and
it was chaos. I saw Joe walk-
ing around; he'd crashed. Then
someone crashed in front of
me and I hit him and stalled the
bike and actually did that twice!
The second time I got wedged
between the motor and front
wheel. That really sucked!
"I was just playing catch-up all
day."
