AMA: Mid-Ohio Day 1 Lap Times and Twitter Report
Lots of rain in Mid-O today. Or so I heard. I had to leave the track for a few hours and completely missed it. The only evidence I have are Twitter updates that said so. And here they are:
@MsXXFAST Just talked to @ShawnHigbee If you're going to Mid-O stop by the trailer to say hi and show some support. It has a new crate engine...
@OTTeditor Watch for @michaellaverty this weekend at Mid-O #AMA SBK. Podium at RdAm video here http://www.onthethrottle.co...
@OTTeditor Look for @chazdavies at Mid-o too, Ever since #AMA debut in 2006 Chaz kills it at that track.
@OnTheThrottleTV Bikes on track! Supersport Prac at Mid-Ohio. No Buell pace bikes this weekend even tho they are here and the riders practiced yesterday
@OTTeditor Shooting on-track Mid-Ohio, soundtrack: Apes on Tapes
@BenBostrom Staple of my diet on race weekend. Thanks mikey and nat, u scoured the earth and found my fav snack! http://yfrog.com/59np8pj
@OnTheThrottleTV Overheard riders discussing rain riding. Mid-O ridiculously slippery when wet, like stupid slippery. Some anti tearing compound they used
@OnTheThrottleTV New Buell superbike out there between the legs of Taylor Knapp. Apparently it ran lap times halfway between sportbike and sbk at the test
@DamoCudlin Overcast here at Mid Ohio this morning, chance of rain this arvo... 1st practice 1 hour away.
@OnTheThrottleTV Glad the MotoGT boys were out just before SBK. Helps one appreciate how fast the SBK lads are actually riding.
@paradigmracing First practice for Daytona SportBike is coming up at 10:40am stay tuned for results/updates
@jp43 Sitting on outside of keyhole @ Mid O. watchin superbike practice, temp is nice & cool. miss riding here. looks like a full field.
@23race Practice 1 ends with the Top 10- Hayes, Holden, Bostrom, Pegram, May, Hayden, Yates, Laverty, Young, Hodgson with .9 covering 1-7
@OnTheThrottleTV Matt Lynn returns to AMA competition this weekend aboard a Four Feathers R6. He rode the Corona Honda Superbike last year
@OnTheThrottleTV Today is Aaron Gobert's first close encounter with an Aprilia RSV1000. He's starting with the set up Thompson ended with, last I heard...
@johnnyrockpage J "ROCK" P in Leotards, somehow pulled a 1:31 out of my ass first practice! Hi ya'll @ Ohio raceway :) http://yfrog.com/42zsuj
@DamoCudlin 15th in first practice. Seem to be struggling with horsepower again which is a little frustrating. Plannin on a couple of changes for qual.
@23race Blake Young was the rider down. He's back in the pits and appears to be ok.
@23race Top 10 for Basic Qualifying- Hayden, Yates, Hayes, Bostrom, May, Pegram, Holden, Mladin, Laverty, Young. 1.1 covers 1-9
@MsXXFAST SBK Quals over. @ShawnHigbee in 18th pos (about 40+ HP down), Knapp in 11th pos. Now S has to change to DOTs for the DBS quals, same bike.
@OnTheThrottleTV Just overheard the radio. Sportbike qual on temporary as radar indicates this little rain squall will pass quickly. And wash all rubber away
@OnTheThrottleTV Now the Mid-Ohio rain squall is a full on, bone fide storm washing away all the rubber laid down over the past 2 days
@awilsonphoto at mid-ohio.....only took me 10 min to be pissed off this morning. think that's a record
@jp43 Pooring here @ Mid Ohio, let the fireworks of who is and who isn't riding begin. 2up rides went great.
@OnTheThrottleTV The rain has ceased here at Mid-Ohio. Will the track dry in a timely manner? How long will DMG push the schedule into the evening hours
@DamoCudlin Rain has halted todays proceedings, no more riding today. Can anyone tell me why we even came to a circuit if we can't race it in the rain?
@23race Okay ASB has 10 minute Superpole 'warmup' so the guys can scope the track after the brief rain shower. Then Superpole will happen.
@superbikeplanet Might be published, might not. http://www.superbikeplanet....
@23race Michael Jordan Motorsports will start from P2 Yates and P3 May in the Mid-Ohio American Superbike races.
@OTTeditor Congrats to @hayes131 for taking Superpole in American Superbike at Mid-Ohio
@michaellaverty I qualified 5th today, Tommy Hayden knocked me off the front row by 0.01 of a second, I'm feeling good for the races though
