Last Sunday Geoff May crashed when he hit Jamie Hacking’s crashed Kawasaki during the AMA Supersport race at Barber Motorsports Park. May’s Team M4 EMGO Suzuki GSX-R600 ramped off of Hacking’s prone ZX-6R and launched itself and May high into the air. May estimated that he traveled “at least 100 feet” before he landed on the front straightaway of the track. His right hip and elbow hit the asphalt first. A trip to the track’s medical center for X-rays confirmed that he escaped with no bone fractures, but he did suffer a hematoma that caused his right hip to swell to the size of “a volleyball.” The swelling subsided over the last few days, allowing May to run Wednesday evening “to loosen things up and get the blood moving around in my thigh” and to ride during promoter practice Thursday at California Speedway. “I’m about 95%,” said May, who matched his 2006 qualifying time of 1:26.1 during Thursday’s practice. “Maybe I’m about 99%.”
