A mini-tornado, or microburst, wrecked havoc on pit lane during Friday morning AMA Superbike practice at Pikes Peak International Raceway. The sudden burst of localized high winds (which are common to the area just east of the Rocky Mountains) ripped canopies from their securing weights, and other smaller, unsecured items, and blew them across pit lane and onto the front straightaway, forcing the session to be stopped. Torn canopies and broken canopy frames were seen up and down pit lane, after the windstorm, and several people were hit with flying debris, including Lion Racing Suzuki’s John Haner. “I was standing on pit road, holding onto our canopy, when something blue came into the corner of my eye and hit me hard. It hooked my (right) shoulder and flung me,” said Haner, who was thrown 30 feet by another team’s blowing canopy and frame, according to witnesses. Haner complained of pain in his right shoulder after the incident and went to the infield care center to have it checked out. The preliminary diagnosis, according to Haner, was a strained rotator cuff. Haner rode later in the re-started Superbike session but said his shoulder was hindering him.

Team M4 EMGO Suzuki’s Michael Barnes crashed his GSX-R600 in the closing minutes of Saturday morning’s 40-minute practice session at Pikes Peak International Raceway. Barnes highsided coming out of turn three, causing a red flag. Barnes had the wind knocked out of him and was slow to get up but otherwise uninjured.

Suzuki Castrol Pole Position Yamaha Folch No.23 Take Second After Overnight Rebuild Suzuki Castrol rider Vincent Philippe has taken pole position for tonight’s Albacete 8 Horas Nocturnas round of the FIM World Endurance Championship. Vincent’s best time of “¦ was set in this morning’s session, when track conditions were very similar to those expected overnight. Philippe was the only rider to record times in the 1:32s. Second place has gone to local team Folch Endurance No.23 after an all night rebuild session for their YZF-R1 which was badly damaged yesterday. The final components were bolted into place as the first group session began, and rider Daniel Ribalta was able to record a succession 1:33 laps. Yamaha Phase One endurance have held onto third place despite choosing to prepare for the race rather than chase a faster time this morning. Yamaha Austria have had a terrible weekend so far, with two of their three riders injured in crashes and their supply of spare parts is running low. Bolliger Kawasaki have qualified in fifth place, but their race potential was shown last night when they recorded the second fastest lap time during the second night practice session. The race starts at 18:00 this evening, with a warm-up session at 16:30. Until then the riders must try to rest and prepare for the race.

BOSTROM AND DUCATI LOOKING FOR ANOTHER PIKES PEAK VICTORY Neil Hodgson and Eric Bostrom from the Parts Unlimited Ducati Austin team will race at the Pikes Peak International Raceway Circuit in Fountain, Colorado this weekend. Bostrom, the defending race champion, will attempt to put his Ducati 999 in victory circle once again this weekend, something he’s done five times before at the small oval with an infield road course located in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains. Hodgson, consistently quick throughout 2005, looks to continue as a major factor in the points this weekend as he will race at a track he’s never seen before. Bostrom grew up dirt tack racing and the primarily left-hand circuit has seen some of his best successes, including last year’s dominating victory on the Parts Unlimited Ducati Austin 999. “There’s something about this track for me, that’s for sure,” says Bostrom. “This place really suits my riding style and my results have always pleased me here. That said, we’re going to have to do quite a bit of work in the short weekend. This track is all about grip and that’s an area we’re still battling at the moment. We’ve been gradually improving over the season and we’ll need to once again after a disappointing couple of races at Infineon.” For Hodgson, he will be charged with racing at a track he’s yet to test, something he has avoided so far in his rookie season in the United States. His setup challenge will also be limited by the fact that Pikes Peak is a one race, two-day format with little track time. “There’s really not much to say right now,” says the 2003 World Champion Hodgson. “I’m looking forward to getting out there and racing this weekend. I’ve never been here before, so we’ll have to see how things progress. The circuit is very short and the outlay at least looks similar to some of the English tracks I’m used to. But we’ll really just have to see what happens.” “We’re hoping Eric has a great race like he’s had in the past, and Neil learns the track quickly,” says team owner Terry Gregoricka. “The ideal scenario for us is that we have two guys fighting for the podium. We know it’s going to be a difficult weekend with lots of competition, though, just like any AMA Superbike National.” While the lap at Pikes Peak is the shortest on the AMA Superbike tour, the race can have a grueling aspect since the nature of the track is abusive on tires and the altitude tests the engine’s cooling ability and power output. Sunday’s race will be 48 laps. THE CIRCUIT: Pikes Peak International Raceway is a 1.315 mile road course located inside an oval. Officially, the track consists of 12 turns and is located one mile above sea level. AMA SUPERBIKE POINTS: (after 7 of 17 rounds) 1. Mladin (Suzuki) 227, 2. Spies (Suzuki) 211, 3.
