AMA Superbike - Round 11 qual

Posted by StickyAdmin, Saturday, September 30th 2006

One a day with rain and track delays, Suzuki's Ben Spies and Mat Mladin were first and second, Ducati's Ben Bostrom was third quickest and Cory West forth in the only 15 minutes of AMA Superbike track time on Saturday at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Although the scheduled heat races were postponed until Sunday morning, Bostrom and teammate Neil Hodgson managed to get a few laps of practice on their Ducati 999 Superbikes.

Bostrom led much of the practice that was delayed by rain and ended as another shower entered the Mansfield, Ohio area. Neil Hodgson also lapped during the shortened session.

The AMA won't race in the rain at this track. The day tomorrow will begin with a Superbike warm-up, followed by the three heat races beginning at 10:15 AM local time. The 26-lap AMA Superbike season finale begins at 4:15 PM local time.
