Darren Murrey (Duc 749R), no times More, from a press release issued by Team M4 EMGO Suzuki: CARDENAS ON SECOND ROW FOR UTAH FORMULA EXTREME RACE Team M4 EMGO Suzuki got off to a hot start, literally, on Friday at Miller Motorsports Park. Despite having to contend with triple digit temperatures, the squad put in a pair of top-five practice performances and claimed a second row grid position during the day. Geoff May was in the mix right from the start, posting the fifth best time in both the Superstock and Supersport practices. The Georgian’s fastest time aboard his Pirelli-shod GSX-R1000 Superstock machine was a 1: 52.247, while he logged a 1:55.080 aboard his 600cc GSX-R in Supersport. While competitive, May wasn’t entirely satisfied and feels there’s more to come. “It wasn’t quite as good as we had hoped today,” he said. “We didn’t get to come here and test and the 1000 is a new bike, so we’re just a little behind right now. We’re going through everything, looking to figure out what’s working and what’s not. We’re about a half second off where we need to be on both bikes, but it’s only Friday and I feel we’re right on the verge of being where we need to be.” One plus is the fact that tire wear shouldn’t prove to be an issue at the venue as the new track is settling in. May explained, “It’s not nearly as abrasive as we’ve seen here in the past. We’re not seeing any of the tire wear concerns. We were able to do double distance on a set of tires. All we’ve got to do is get the thing set up to do the lap times.” Colombian Martin Cardenas was impressive once again for Team M4 EMGO Suzuki. One race weekend removed from his podium-earning ride at Road America, the former Spanish Supersport champ picked up a second row starting position for tomorrow’s Formula Xtreme final, qualifying seventh fastest at 1: 54.604. In addition, he posted the eighth best lap during the Supersport practice at 1:55.404. Youngster Michael Beck got off to a solid start to the weekend himself, ranking 13th fastest in the Supersport session at 1: 56.002. On Saturday Team M4 EMGO Suzuki will compete in the 13-lap Formula Xtreme final and qualify for Sunday’s Superstock and Supersport races.

Former WERA racer Brian Lantz and wife Tracey had a daughter, Brooke Madison Lantz, June 21 in Marietta, Georgia. Brian Lantz is the son of WERA President Evelyne Clarke.

Defending Champion Ben Spies earned the provisional pole position during AMA Superbike qualifying Friday at Miller Motorsports Park (MMP), in Tooele, Utah. Riding his Dunlop-equipped Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000, Spies lapped the 3.06-mile “Outer Course” in 1:50.441, much slower than his own lap record of 1:49.167, turned during the inaugural AMA Superbike event at MMP last season. Spies said part of the reason he went slower than last year was the heat (105 degrees F during the session) and part was because he was focused on finding a long-distance race set-up. “We stayed on the same set of tires the whole session,” Spies told reporters. “I went out and the third, fourth lap was our fastest laps then it tapered off a little bit. We kept coming in and doing little four-lap stints. And it was good because every time out we were taking a couple of 10ths off the bike and set-up. And by the end of the session we had quite a few laps on the tires and we were getting close to our fast lap that we had set when they were brand new. So it was pretty encouraging. And everything we changed on the bike was heading in the right direction, and now we know that. Hopefully, we won’t go too much in that direction, but it’s looking pretty good right now.” Spies said he expected to go quicker during Saturday morning’s final qualifying session, when temperatures are expected to be lower and he has a softer race tire to try. Spies’ teammate and main Championship challenger Mat Mladin ended the session second-fastest (1:50.593) in spite of crashing his Yoshimura Suzuki early in the session and continuing on his second GSX-R1000. After losing most of Friday morning practice because Dunlop mounted the wrong tires to his wheels, which sent him searching for a new set-up, Eric Bostrom rebounded in Friday afternoon’s qualifying session to post the third-fastest time, a 1:51.213 on his factory Yamaha YZF-R1. Jake Zemke, who won a race at MMP in 2006, earned the final spot on the provisional front row with a time of 1:51.287 on his American Honda CBR1000RR. Showing better speed and consistency than they have all year, Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jamie Hacking (1:51.309) and Roger Hayden (1:51.587) were fifth- and seventh-quickest, respectively, on their ZX-10R Superbikes in Friday’s qualifier. Slotting himself in between the Kawasaki riders in the qualifying order was Graves Yamaha’s Ben Bostrom with a 1:51.545, but Ben Bostrom was likely only using the session for extra practice time to set up his Superstock YZF-R1 and will not compete in the Superbike race. Eric Bostrom’s teammate Jason DiSalvo took the final spot on the second row with a time of 1:51.777 on his YZF-R1. Team M4 EMGO Suzuki’s Geoff May (1:51.941) was the highest non-Dunlop qualifier, ninth on his Pirelli-fitted GSX-R1000 Superstock bike, and just a tick ahead of Jordan Suzuki’s Aaron Yates (1:51.978), 10th. Zemke’s teammate Miguel Duhamel (1:52.136) qualified 12th Friday afternoon, just hours after he suffered a big highside crash in the final corner during Friday morning practice. Duhamel continued riding in that session. Two positions behind Duhamel was Tommy Hayden (1:52.446), who is working on finding the set-up for the rear suspension on his Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000. 2007 AMA Superbike Championship Presented by Parts Unlimited Miller Motorsports Park Tooele, Utah June 22, 2007 Provisional Qualifying Results: 1.

The Monster Energy Kawasaki factory team broke the latest “gentleman’s agreement” among the AMA factory teams when Jamie Hacking and Roger Hayden took their ZX-6R Supersport bikes out in promoter practice Thursday at Miller Motorsports Park. In the last 15 years, factory teams have made at least two agreements to not participate in Thursday practice days, and when they have been broken, have asked AMA officials to regulate participation by factory riders to “save us from ourselves”; but efforts to do so have been flawed, with an attempt to keep riders out on the basis of point standings resulting in riders being unable to use Thursday practice to learn a track they had never seen before. Attempts to regulate on the basis of who is or is not a factory rider have failed because nobody can agree on the definition of factory riders. So, last year Yamaha riders in Formula Xtreme could not ride on Thursday, but the Erion Honda riders they competed against for the title could. With AMA team managers unable to reach a consensus on how to regulate Thursday practice in a fair and equitable manner, AMA officials eliminated restrictions and opened up Thursday practice for all licensed riders in 2007. Factory teams have argued that Thursday practice increases costs, and favor spending money on an average of 20 stand-alone private test days held each year by a team co-op, sometimes referred to as a testing cartel. Riders and teams who do not belong to the testing group cannot attend at any cost. Privateers and non-factory teams use Thursday practice to set up their bikes and say the Thursday sessions make the difference between being competitive and not being competitive. Factory riders also object to testing with non-factory riders on Thursday. The latest agreement among factory teams to not run in Thursday practice was broken by Kawasaki Thursday at Miller Motorsports Park. “Because we feel like we’re losing out a little bit if we don’t do it,” Roger Hayden told Roadracingworld.com Friday. “At Road America, I had a problem with my bike in the first session, and by the time I got back to the pits I only got about 20 minutes of practice. Then it rained on Saturday. My first real practice was Sunday morning. “Plus, a couple of our competitors do it, and it seems like it takes us until Sunday to catch up. We didn’t do it with our Superbikes because the other [factory] guys in Superbike don’t do it. Everybody has a gentleman’s agreement. Plus, four days on a Superbike is too much.” Hayden said he would like to see Thursday practices done away with completely or regulated, with officials banning riders who are in the top 10 of the current or previous year’s Championship point standings. Yamaha Team Manager Tom Halverson said he was very disappointed in Kawasaki’s decision to ride Thursday at Miller and feels it may lead to teams riding their Superbikes on Thursdays. “But there’s nothing in the rules saying they can’t be out there,” Halverson said. “They’re in a battle with Erion Honda for the Supersport Championship, and Erion Honda gets to ride on Thursdays.”

BEACH, USA, no time Because of the exceptional weather conditions, Race Direction decided to admit all non-qualified riders to the race. More, from a press release issued by Red Bull: Italian Lorenzo Savadori and Frenchman Cyril Carrillo battled all the way through the second qualifying session on a drying track. Carrillo fell on the last corner of the last lap as he attempted to snatch pole. “It’s great to start on pole,” said Savadori. “The bike is just great, the engine perfect. It was sliding around a lot but that was the conditions.” Completing the front row of the grid behind Savadori and Carrillo are Spaniards Luis Salom and Cristian Trabalon. Three practice sessions, a free 20 minutes closely followed by two 25 minute qualifying sessions gave the Red Bull Rookies another valuable lesson. Especially as they started with a soaking wet track and had to adapt as it dried out. Heinrich, ‘Heini’ Brandsätter, the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup technical supervisor made the situation plain to the riders at the briefing before the first, non qualifying, session. “The schedule is so tight today with almost no time between the three sessions that we will not be able to repair any crashed bikes. You have to keep that in mind.” An extremely valuable lesson for the Rookies to learn going into their third event. Championship leader Lorenzo Savadori obviously had that very much in mind as the first of the three sessions started on a soaking wet track. He was well towards the slow end of the 22 rider field early in the 20 minute session. By the end of the period he was much quicker though and had quickly worked out the sections he found hardest. “That is probably the most difficult corner,” said Lorenzo pointing at the tight right hand ‘old hairpin’, at the bottom of the first downhill section. “You feel that the front can slide away there very easily. Then from there you have to accelerate up hill through the long left handers and you can feel the back end sliding out all the way through. That section and the first corner on the track, the right hander, also on acceleration, they are the most difficult bits,” concluded the championship leader. The Italian was fastest by the end of session two, the first qualifying period. Quick man almost all the way through both opening sessions was Frenchman Cyril Carrillo. “The bike is great and I really enjoy the track even though it is still very slippery,” he reported after ending the session less than three tenths slower than Savadori. Though British Rookie Stuart Mitchell had never ridden at Donington before he was rising to the challenge on the drying track in that first timed session. “There is not really a dry line around the track yet, there are some dry places but in other areas there is still water running across the track and it’s very wet, at lot of fun.” Third quickest in the first qualifier was fellow countryman Matthew Hoyle, a bit of Donington experienced helped. “I have ridden here four times including a race last year when it was very wet. It’s slippery, but fun.” Spaniard Luis Salom lay fourth fastest ahead of Germany’s Daniel Kartheininger. “Very slippery,” said Dani with his characteristic cheeky grin. There were those who had not taken sufficient notice of the pre practice warning, six had damaged their bikes in the non qualifying session and two more in the qualifier. They included Johann Zarco, lying second in the championship. The Frenchman was quick in the wet non qualifying session just as he had been fast in the wet in Mugello but unfortunately fell right at the end of the session. He was one of those who would not get any qualifying time and line up on the back of the grid. The positions between the six decided on their times in the non qualifying session. ´ Zarco was joined on the crash list who could not continue by Jamie Mossey (GBR), Cameron Beaubier (USA), Kris Turner (USA), Robert Gull (SWE) and JD Beach (USA). Norwegian Sturla Fagerhaug and German Lucy Gloeckner made it through the free practice OK but fell in the first qualifying session. Fortunately they were unhurt as were the rest of the Rookies. With the track continuing to dry it was obvious that the fastest times were going to come from the final session but with many wet patches and still points with water running across the track all riders still had the wet weather Dunlops fitted. As soon as fast men Carrillo and Savadori completed their second lap together cutting 5 seconds off their time from the previous session the battle was on between them. After 4 laps they both came into the pits together before going out alone and chasing better times. It was clear that half way through the second 25 minute qualifying session that the drying track had taken the best out of the wet weather tyres. Savadori was quickest and eased off a little but Carrillo kept pressing, trying to snatch the pole. He almost stole the advantage a couple of times but could not put the perfect lap together, then he slid off at the final corner. “The tyres were worn but I kept trying, just learning how they feel when they are like that,” said Carrillo. “I was not really pushing so hard but then at the last corner the front tucked under and I fell. It was just a small crash and I picked up the bike immediately. I am really enjoying it here and looking forward to the race.” It was not a good day for the three Americans, all early fallers and at the end of the second qualifying session Red Bull’s World Champion Nicky Hayden had time for some words of encouragement for two his fellow countrymen JD Beach and Cameron Beaubier who had been forced just to watch. “It’s all part of racing and keeping the rubber side down is key,” said Hayden. “Ride smart.” Another of the many Grand Prix stars maintaining a keen interest in the Rookies Cup is 125cc World Championship leader Gabor Talmacsi. The Hungarian was naturally encouraging fellow countryman Peter Sebestyen. “It is a fantastic Championship,” enthused Talmacsi. “It is a great way for the young generation to start. The bikes are perfect, just what they should be learning to race on and I think the whole thing is a fantastic opportunity for them.” Those Grand Prix stars will no doubt be watching Saturday’s 17 lap race that starts at 16.15 in England (17.15 Central European Time).

Digital On-Board MotoGP Technology launched at Donington Nickel & Dime British Grand Prix – Friday 22nd June The 2007 Nickel & Dime British Grand Prix will mark the beginning of a new era in motorcycle racing television coverage. A new digital terrestrial transmission method will be used to get on-board images from the MotoGP bikes on the track, replacing the analogue coverage which previously relied on the presence of a helicopter. Terrestrial coverage is achieved by using a single high crane which supports Gigawave antennae, which provide coverage of the majority of the circuit. The crane eliminates the limited capacity and stability provided by a helicopter circling at 2000 feet. Direct visibility between the helicopter and the bikes all around the track was previously the only way to ensure pictures were received, with blind spots and adverse weather providing limitations to continuous coverage. Underneath bridges and the confines of the garages were inaccessible, but now these areas can be captured. As of this weekend’s race, digital coverage which works at a height of no more than 200 feet will provide unlimited coverage of the action. The bikes’ transmitters have been redesigned to fit any machine, and allow 4 video inputs, camera positions, audio channels and digital data channels. This technology is the result of development by British company Gigawave, who have over 17 years experience in the field of radio frequency. Over the past decade, Gigawave has grown from a small specialist antenna company, employing just a handful of people, to a multi-million dollar company with customers in over 100 countries. Today, the company designs and manufactures a wide range of specialised RF equipment for outside broadcasts, news gathering and security applications. Gigawave’s Chairman and Founder is Henry Barczynski MM . Dorna has reached an agreement with Gigawave to become the Official Radio Frequency Supplier, and they will help develop digital transmission for the On-Board system and the improvement from 4 channels (4 riders per race) to enough to cover as many MotoGP riders as are present on the grid. This is only possible thanks to digital technology. Henry Barczynski remarked, “In our book, MotoGP is truly the most exciting form of motorsport simply because of how tight the racing is. As such, we have to create advanced technology in conjunction with the teams and organisations that can cope not only with the close racing, but with the compactness required for the bikes themselves. We aim to bring the viewer so much more through the new systems, so there are exciting times ahead for a future generation of fans.”

BEACH, USA, no time More, from Danny Turner, Kris Turner’s father: FIRST PERSON/OPINION: Via e-mail: Kris fell off in the first session, ending his day. The sessions were only 20 minutes apart so there was no attempt made to repair his bike. It will be repaired in the morning, and he will start 19th on the grid. Due to the conditions there were only 13 riders that were able to ride qualifying, and with four very fast riders starting on the last two rows it will be a very interesting race. Kris only made six laps when he highsided in Turn Six due to a engine misfire problem. Danny Turner Chattanooga, Tennessee
