Yoshimura Suzuki’s Ben Spies led Sunday morning’s AMA Formula Xtreme warm-up session with a time of 1:29.161 on his works GSX-R1000.

It’s unclear what type of tire Spies used to turn his fastest time, but he had a hand-cut rear slick on his machine at the end of the session.

Annandale Honda’s Craig Connell did not participate in the warm-up session.

Connell crashed and tangled with his Honda CBR954RR as he fell in turn five during Saturday’s Formula Xtreme qualifying session. Connell told Roadracingworld.com Sunday morning that he didn’t break any bones in his right foot but injured it badly enough that he didn’t feel he would race.

Adam Fergusson also did not ride during Sunday morning’s FX practice because of the wet conditions.

A mist began to fall at the end of the Formula Xtreme practice and beginning of Superbike practice erasing the dry line that had developed around the track.
