Privateer Geoff May is having a bad time and won’t be racing at Brainerd this coming weekend. May, whose best AMA Superbike finish to date was a 9th at Road Atlanta, found out last Wednesday that he has mono and cannot train or race before Laguna Seca next month.

On the same day, May said he learned that Team Embry owner Mike Embry is pulling the plug on the program, citing budget overruns.

The team, which fielded May with success last season, added a second rider, Brian Stokes, this year. Stokes competed in the Superstock class but missed the Road America round after crashing three times in practice and qualifying.

According to May, Embry did say that he will allow May to use the Team Embry bikes and rig to go to AMA Nationals, if he pays his own travel expenses.

While recovering from mono, May is seeking sponsorship help and can be reached at (678) 458-1070.
