Copyright 2004, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc. Saturday morning’s AMA Supersport practice was led by Yoshimura Suzuki’s Ben Spies with a time of 1:28.597 on his Dunlop-tired GSX-R600. The session was interrupted by two red flags. The first stoppage was caused by an oil spill from R. Todd Keesee’s Yamaha. Keesee’s machine lost its chain while powering out of the tight turn four left hander. The chain broke open the Yamaha’s engine cases, spilling its contents onto the track. Spies’ teammate Aaron Yates crashed in the oil spill, just before the red flag came out. Yates narrowly missed hitting a bare Armco wall and was uninjured in his fall. Yates’ 1:29.983, turned immediately before his crash, was the second-fastest time of the session. The practice was re-started for approximately five minutes before a second red flag, which ended the session, was brought out for another fluid spill on the track. AMA Supersport qualifying is scheduled to take place at 11:35 a.m. local time (Central) Saturday. Provisional Saturday Morning AMA Supersport Practice Times: 1. Ben Spies, Suzuki, 1:28.597 2.
