[Thunderace]

Into the 1:40's! And it's Bryce Prince nonetheless.

 

[SinisterBabo]

They're knocking on the door to 39s -- 40.21 by Beaubier in P3
Debise broke 42 into the high 41s in P2

Are you guys tracking via MotoAmerica's website or something else?

 

[mpusch]

There it is...Elias with a 1:39.877

Jeez.

 

[Dave561]

Sholtz at 1.39.835
Now I don't even know if I can go out this weekend. Bar is set low

So I think it is safe to say that the repave on North is feeling pretty good...

 

[ekraft84]

Great to see Scholtz and the Westby guys going strong.

1.39.3 Cameron

I will be there tomorrow, should be fun to see the fastest way around the track!

 

[raineman021]

I might be able to beat 1:39... if I hang a right between turn 1 and 2, swing through and merge in at 11 and stay on North track.

Does that count?

 

[HavocCat]

Was someone talking about slippery curbing and well ventilated shirts?

Those times are insane. I can't wait to get out there and see what the new surface is like on the North.

Also to add to the rain discussion, last year when riding on full rains, the North track felt great. When you got on to that sealer on the South track forget it though.
I'm slow enough in the dry, I felt like an octagenarian with ankle weights on that south section in the wet.

 

[Thunderace]

They are knocking on the 1:38 door!

 

[tdelegram]

Cameron B 1:38.9

 

[Thunderace]

I didn't expect it, but this might be the track where a Superstock rider could win. Matthew Scholtz is knocking on the 1:38 door. This might be like a Moto2 race with 8 guys battling for the win!

 

[Thunderace]

When Taylor did the 1:43, he was on someone else's bike. I think best Superbike riders on their own bikes are going to be right at a 1:37 flat during qualifying. Mid 1:38's for the race. I feel the best 600 guys will be closer to a 1:41 flat during qualifying. Closer to 1:43's during their race. Only time will tell.

I was pretty close back on December 9th. I think the factory boys will be a little better come August. But Matthew Scholtz is the man of the hour!

Bet they knock another 2 or 3 seconds off in August. This was just a tire test...come race weekend, Factory bikes will really let it fly.
