Saturday was an up and down day at the track for Team M4 EMGO Suzuki at Mid-Ohio
Sports Car Course. After a solid performance qualifying for Sunday's Superstock
and Supersport finals, the squad had a difficult outing in the Formula Xtreme
final that concluded the day's activities.
Geoff May picked up a pair of
second-row grid positions on Saturday. He was fifth fastest aboard his
Pirelli-shod GSX-R1000 in the Superstock session despite suffering a fall in the
turn 2 chicane halfway through the session. May rebounded to post a 1: 26.130
and has his sights set upon a return to the Mid-Ohio podium in tomorrow's 16-lap
final.
May then qualified his GSX-R600 Supersport racer in sixth position
with a quick lap of 1:27.887 around the 2.4-mile circuit. His teammates, Martin
Cardenas and Michael Beck, will start the 60k Supersport race from a couple rows
back as Colombian Cardenas was 13th at 1: 28.808 while Californian Beck was 16th
at 1:28.957.
After Supersport qualifying, Cardenas turned his attention
to the FX race. He got away well at the green light, running in seventh position
for the race's opening five laps but was eventually forced back into the pits
for a quick repair of his equipment. He made his way back out on the course to
finish the race and was ultimately classified in 36th position.
Cardenas
said, "I had a good start and was running pretty strong but a few laps in we had
some problems and I had to go in for a pit stop."
Looking ahead of
tomorrow's Supersport race, he added, "I'm still looking for the right set-up
with the bike. This is a difficult track. It's been one of the hardest tracks
for me to learn and it has some really difficult sections. I'm hoping that
tomorrow morning we will find the right set-up and then we will see what I can
do."
