Notes: Early leader Michael Barnes crashed out. This just in: Geoff May’s winning GSX-R600 went over the limit in post-race dyno testing by 0.3 horsepower and he was penalized three places. Third-place finisher Alastair Seeley was disqualified for failing to show up for post-race dyno tech. Michael Beck was disqualified for mounting his transponder in the nose of his fairing instead of mounting on the tailsection as required by ASRA rules. Fourth-place finisher Pascal Picotte was disqualified for failing to show up for post-race dyno tech. Picotte’s late DQ saw Barrett Long leapfrog May into third in what may be a record number of post-race revisions for a Daytona event.

Geoff May Has Big Day At DIS

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., (March 5, 2006) — Sunday was Geoff May’s day at historic Daytona International Speedway.

May captured two of the four American Sportbike Racing Association finals during the final day of the CCS/ASRA weekend. The M4 EMGO Suzuki rider from Gainesville, Ga., captured the 15-lap SuperBike final and the 10-lap SpeedScreen Expert Unlimited Grand Prix final and finished fourth in the 15-lap SportBike final.

In the first ASRA event of the day the SuperBike final Yamaha factory rider Jason DiSalvo dominated the event but as expected pulled off the track on the last lap before taking the checkered flag. DiSalvo’s entry in the race was for testing purposes for next week’s Daytona 200 By Honda.

DiSalvo’s withdrawal opened the door for May to secure the 8.063-second victory while Michael Barnes nipped Jeff Wood for second place.

In the Speedcreen Unlimited GP, May was able to earn a 20.945-second victory over Roberto Pietri and Eric Wood.

In the final event of the day the SportBike final May had to hold off Jeff Wood to the win the race, but was set back three positions for being over the limit in post-race dyno testing. Wood was awarded the victory.

Overall for the CCS/ASRA weekend, May won six of the eight races he entered.

“I’ve been training all winter and that’s made all the difference in the world,” May said. “This is my second year on the team. The tire development has come a long way. I just came into this weekend with a tremendous amount of confidence. I think that helped propel me to the front.”

During next weekend’s AMA activities, May will compete in Thursday’s Supersport and Superstock events and will race in Saturday’s opening round of the AMA Superbike championship.

In Sunday’s other ASRA race, Nate Kern of Devon Pa., rode a BMW 1080 to his fifth win of the weekend in the Thunderbike final.

Next up at DIS will be the AHRMA vintage races on Monday and Tuesday. For tickets and more information, log onto www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com or call 1-800-PITSHOP.
