AMA Pro Racing officials first notified the Yoshimura Suzuki team that there was a problem with Mat Mladin’s Superbike pole-time from Friday qualifying when 7 minutes remained in the final qualifying session on Saturday.

Mladin was already off the bike and walking back to the team truck to change into his street clothes when AMA Pro Racing’s Ron Barrick came to Yoshimura Suzuki Team Manager Don Sakakura and Mladin’s Crew Chief Peter Doyle and said that due to timing & scoring problems, Mladin’s time from Friday would be disallowed.

“The problem I have with it is the way they did it,” said Doyle. “It was too late. We didn’t have a chance to respond.”

“I was already back in the truck when I found out about it, and by then there were four minutes left in the session,” Mladin said Sunday morning. “Yesterday (Saturday) I just concentrated on race set-up. We were done about 55 minutes into the (one-hour) session, and didn’t worry about trying to do a fast lap because we figured the lap time was safe.”

“As soon as I discovered Mladin’s time was not valid I came down and showed Don (Sakakura) what the real time was,” said Barrick. “I would have liked to have been able to give them the information sooner.”

From a press release issued by Mat Mladin’s publicist, before AMA Pro Racing disallowed Mladin’s Saturday qualifying time due to a timing & scoring problem:

2003 AMA Chevy Trucks US Superbike Championship
Round 8 – Pikes Peak International Raceway, Colorado, USA
Final Qualifying Session Report

MLADIN TAKES SUPERBIKE POLE POSITION AT PIKES PEAK

Fountain, Colorado, USA (Saturday, 31 May) – Mat Mladin will start tomorrow’s eighth round of the AMA Chevy Trucks US Superbike Championship from pole position after his time set during yesterday’s opening session was unable to be surpassed today at Pikes Peak International Raceway in Colorado.

Mladin’s best time of 53.780 seconds set during yesterday’s hot conditions kept him at the top of the time sheets today and allowed he and his Yoshimura Suzuki team to concentrate on preparing their Suzuki GSX-R1000 for tomorrow’s Superbike national.

“Having set a good time yesterday, it gave us the opportunity to concentrate on race set up today,” said three-times American Superbike champion Mladin. “The track and ambient temperature was a lot cooler today than it was yesterday which was good. Tyre wear is going to be the critical factor tomorrow.”

“We were able top do a couple of long runs during the session so that we could arrive at a set up with the bike that will give us the best tyre wear for the 48-lap race. After that, we have a couple of different tyre choices available to us, so we’ll see what the weather provides for us then. Unfortunately it looks as though the race will be run in a similar style to Daytona where you will be out there trying to conserve a tyre rather than riding at your optimum for the entire race distance. I like to race, not ride around and conserve tyres.”

Lining up alongside Mladin will be teammate Aaron Yates who posted a best time of 54.079 secs, pushing Anthony Gobert (Ducati Austin) to third with his time of 54.166, while Erion Honda’s Kurtis Roberts completes the front row of the grid with a time of 54.214 secs.

Mladin heads into tomorrow’s eighth round of the championship trailing teammate Yates by just one point after claiming a championship point for pole and will be looking at leaving the Colorado circuit holding the championship points lead.

Yates was the fastest rider in today’s second qualifying session, with Mladin just four one hundredths of a second in arrears.

Mladin is looking to win an unprecedented fourth AMA Superbike crown this year and has started the year in blazing form aboard the new Suzuki GSX-R1000 having won five of the seven races held this year and further increased his all time AMA Pole position record to 28 after scoring his third pole of the season.

1-888-FASTLAP’S CAYLOR AND STOKES QUALIFY 11TH AND 13TH FOR SUPERSTOCK AT PIKES PEAK

FOUNTAIN, Co.- 1-888-FASTLAP riders Opie Caylor and Brian Stokes qualified 11th and 13th for Sunday’s AMA Pro Racing Superstock race at Pikes Peak International Raceway.

Caylor and Stokes were among seven riders who all qualified within one second of each other. Caylor’s fast time of 56.678 seconds (83.524 mph) put him in the 11th spot on the 1-888-FASTLAP/Team EMGO Taiwan Suzuki GSX-R750.

1-888-FASTLAP’s Stokes, who is racing at Pikes Peak for the first time, qualified 13th with his time of 57.018 seconds (83.026 mph). He rides the Team Embry Suzuki GSX-R750.

“Qualifying went okay,” commented Stokes. “I got hooked up with Mike Ciccotto during the last part of the session. It was tough. The top seven guys or so had qualifying tires on–we don’t have qualifiers. The people up front ran 55’s on a qualifier, so they’re going to be a second slower tomorrow. If I get a good start tomorrow and get to the front I should do well. My goal tomorrow is to be in the top ten. With the close competition, I’ll be happy with that.”

Both Caylor and Stokes plan to race in the Superbike race being held tomorrow, as well. When they are finished with the 29-lap Superstock race, they will have a brief rest before beginning the 48-lap Superbike event.

Caylor qualified 26th for the Superbike race with a time of 56.678 (83.524 mph). Stokes will start the race from the 30th spot after setting a qualifying time of 56.674 (82.082 mph).

The Superstock race will get underway on Sunday, June 1, following the Supersport and 250 GP races. Supersport begins at noon. The Superbike race starts at 3:00 pm and will be broadcast live on SPEED.

More information about Caylor, Stokes and 1-888-FASTLAP can be found on the web at www.1888FASTLAP.com.



More, from a press release issued by Team Valvoline EMGO Suzuki:

Team Valvoline EMGO Suzuki’s Steve Rapp came away from a drama-filled Formula Xtreme race at Pikes Peak International Raceway on Saturday with yet another top-10 finish. Adding to Rapp’s result, teammate Chris Ulrich gave the squad a second top-15 finish. Both riders struggled to find a set-up to maximize grip and acceleration off the tight corners of the twisty Pikes Peak bullring.

Rapp was forced to overcome a very late alteration to the starting grid–caused by a problem with AMA timing & scoring–that pushed him off the front row as well a twice red-flagged race. The 30-year-old worked his way up through the field on his Michelin-shod machine to score an eventual eighth place. Rapp is now sixth in Formula Xtreme points.

“It was a tough race,” Rapp admitted. “I thought I was doing better — qualifying on the front row — and the change kind of threw me off. I didn’t get great starts and it’s a tough place to pass. Nevertheless, I finished eighth and passed a few guys like (Jamie) Hacking and (Roger Lee) Hayden, which is all right. I’m not satisfied, but you have to hang in there and get through the places where you don’t do as well and move on to the tracks that you do.”

Ulrich decided his time would be best spent focusing on a single race machine after running into some difficulties dialing in his bikes on Friday. Chris went up against the fire-breathing Formula Xtreme machines on his Superstock-class GSX-R750 and picked up a 15th and a great deal of knowledge.

“We struggled with the 1000 so I rode the 750 today,” Ulrich explained. “We made some adjustments to the front and at the restart we were right there with the guys. I was kind of wishing we had the extra horsepower, but I’m really pleased with what I accomplished on the 750. It was good for my confidence to concentrate on one bike, and we found some things that will really help tomorrow. We’re going to try to do the same thing — get a good start and let it rip.”

Ulrich is now 10th in Formula Xtreme points.

Sunday will see the Valvoline EMGO Suzuki team battling in the 29-lap Superstock final. Rapp will start on the outside of row two with his younger teammate one row back in 12th as a result of their qualifying Saturday performances.

Vermeulen extends championship lead

Chris Vermeulen took his Ten Kate Honda to another start-to-finish win at the technical Oschersleben circuit for round five of the World Supersport championship, despite still suffering from a badly injured right thumb.

Vermeulen got the jump from Stephane Chambon and Broc Parkes, while reigning Supersport Champion, Fabien Foret ran off the track on lap one. Parkes was riding aggressively from the start, passing Chambon into the Shell Esses and then taking off after fellow countryman, Vermeulen.

Pole sitter Muggeridge was making up for a poor start, he was so determined not to fry his clutch again, as at Monza, that he started way too softly. Then, after fighting his way back up in third place, he made a mistake and crashed his Ten Kate Honda. He remounted to battle through for 15th and a single point.

Parkes fought to stay with Vermeulen, but ran wide into the ‘Triple,’ the three-way left-hander, on lap 14 and lost touch with the lead pack. The Alstare Suzuki pairing took advantage, catching and passing Parkes to claim the remaining podium places.

Jurgen van den Goorbergh worked hard to recover from a poor start, and moved through late in the race to pass the fading Parkes to grab fourth.

Vermeulen’s third win from just five races moves him to an incredible, in Supersport racing, 38 points clear from Fujiwara.

Dreadful luck ruins weekend for Team Van Zon Honda TKR

A promising start to the World Supersport championship turned bad for both Team Van Zon Honda TKR riders.

Werner Daemen crashed out of the race after making contact with Christian Kellner while a freak technical problem ended MacPherson’s race early.

“We’ve suffered from bad luck again,” admitted Daemen. “Kellner hit me twice and has left a big tyre mark my leathers! When he hit my rear tyre I couldn’t keep the bike up and went into the gravel. It’s a shame because my start was good and I was making progress in the field, the Pirelli tyres were great and the Honda CBR600RR was performing faultlessly. I can only hope our luck returns for Silverstone.

Iain MacPherson also suffered from appalling luck. He was fighting at the front of the pack early in the race but then hit problems.

“I thought my bike was losing power because I was having trouble getting on full throttle,” said the fiery Scot. “But then I realised that the throttle grip was actually slipping on the bar. I had no choice but to pull in, it was just too dangerous to carry on.”

Vermeulen wins again

Chris Vermeulen made it three wins from just five races to go a staggering 38 points clear at the head of the World Supersport championship.

The young Australian took the holeshot on his CBR600RR and never looked back. He kept the pressure on hard, leaving the rest of the pack struggling in his wake.

“I really didn’t expect to get away again like that,” explained Vermeulen after the race. “I expected the pack to be right with me here, especially as I am still struggling with my thumb injury.”

Vermeulen’s thumb, damaged in a crash at Monza, caused him more trouble at this twisting and technical track than it did at Monza.

“It’s much more physical here,” he said, “but the Honda CBR600RR was awesome, as usual, and the guys at Pirelli and WP Suspension came up with a brilliant package, once again.”

Vermeulen’s team mate, Karl Muggeridge, started from pole after dominating qualifying, just as he did at Monza. But a poor start left him with plenty of work to do to catch the lead pack. Muggeridge made up the ground, and got up into third before pushing a little too hard and loosing the front end. He remounted to take a single championship point in 15th.

“Karl isn’t having much luck at the moment,” observed team manager Ronald ten Kate. “But he is riding really well and we are confident that when his luck returns, he’ll be right back up there.

“As for Chris, what can I say except – amazing! But he couldn’t have done it without the brilliant package of the Honda CBR600RR and Pirelli tyres and WP Suspension. OK, I know you’ll think I am just saying this, it’s obligatory to praise your sponsors and partners, but I honestly mean it, they really are working wonders for us.”

Hacking took the lead of this restarted race when early leader Damon Buckmaster ran wide following contact with Hacking and went from first to fourth; the string of four YZF-R6 Yamahas then pulled away from the field.

Jake Zemke started last and carved his way up to seventh, the first rider on a Honda CBR600RR.

The race was originally red-flagged following a series of crashes. On the first lap, Zemke was hit from behind heading into the horsehoe and crashed, along with at least two other riders, leaving bikes and debris scattered. Then Thad Halsmer crashed coming onto the front straight, his bike ending up on the start/finish line as the leaders were on lap two.

American Honda rider Miguel Duhamel will miss the Pro Honda Oils Supersport race at Pikes Peak.

Duhamel broke his left collarbone in three places in the Supersport race at Sears Point, and he would also have to start the race at Pikes Peak from the back of the grid due to a penalty imposed by the AMA after it found his CBR600RR to have an illegal oil pressure regulator.

According to team manager Chuck Miller, Duhamel wanted to compete in the Supersport race, but Miller decided that Duhamel would only compete in the Superbike race.

“He was pretty sore after yesterday,” said Miller. The decision not to race in the Supersport race was “A combination of his shoulder and the penalty. He was in pain this morning and he wanted to ride, but I felt, considering his physical condition and the fact that he’d be starting from the back of the grid, that keeping him out of the Supersport race was the best decision. I’m concerned about him aggravating the injury.”

Hodgson beats Chili in close-fought WSB race

Neil Hodgson used his head to beat Frankie Chili after a race-long battle with the veteran Italian.

The pair locked horns early in the race and battled it out right to the flag. Chili had been showing a wheel on the inside of the last turn for several laps, as if practicing for a final-lap pass. But Hodgson was wise to Chili’s plan and took such a tight line through the final turn that Chili had no choice but to close the throttle, losing the drive out of the corner and the drag race to the line.

An incident in the first turn on the first lap saw Gregorio Lavilla crash and clip James Toseland’s bike on the way down. Toseland had no choice but to take to the grass, getting back on the track in last place. The 22-year-old from Britain then put in an impressive charge, carving his way back up through the field, lapping faster than the leaders, and pulling himself up into third by the end of the race.

Toseland’s teammate Chris Walker had taken the holeshot but, suffering the effects of a big highside yesterday, was unable to hold off Regis Laconi, who snatched fourth from the plucky Walker.

It was another disaster for the Fogarty team–James Haydon crashed heavily, wrecking the bike, while Troy Corser finished back in 12th.

Haydon out of Germany race two

Foggy PETRONAS Racing rider James Haydon is unable to start the second race of round five of the World Superbike championship at Oschersleben, Germany, as a result of injuries sustained in a crash during the first race of the day James, starting from 24th on the grid, had moved into 15th place and had a 13th place finish in his sights, when this bike jumped out of gear at Triple, the fastest corner on the circuit. The Englishman walked away from the spectacular fall but, on the back of injuries sustained in a crash at Monza two weeks ago, was badly shaken and bruised, as well as suffering a sprained ankle and wrist.

He said: “I felt really comfortable until the bike jumped out of gear. I tried to jump off but hit the gravel at over 100mph There is no way I can ride this afternoon.”

Teammate Troy Corser brought the FP1 home in 12th place in a lonely ride for the Australian, in a race won for the ninth consecutive time by Neil Hodgson.

Yoshimura Suzuki’s Ben Spies, winner of the Road Atlanta AMA Supersport race, was fined $2000 and penalized 20 Championship points for a technical rules violation found after the race.

“They found the oil pressure relief valve to be different than the production sample,” Yoshimura Suzuki Team Manager Don Sakakura told Roadracingworld.com.

Asked how the non-production part got in Spies’ GSX-R600, Sakakura said, “Right now, no comment.”

AMA Pro Racing made no announcement of the violation and only made the final determination of the violation Wednesday, May 28 at Pikes Peak International Raceway.

AMA Supersport Championship point standings distributed in the media center and available at post time did not reflect the 20-point penalty against Spies. Instead of being third and five points behind Championship co-leaders Jamie Hacking and Damon Buckmaster, Spies should have been listed in seventh, 35 points behind the leaders.

Spies was allowed to keep his race win.


This just in: After the penalty was announced by Greg White on a SPEED TV broadcast, AMA Pro Racing then issued a statement that read:

“#11 Ben Spies–Yoshimura Suzuki–Following the race at Road Atlanta the oil pressure relief valve was impounded and found to be a non-standard part. The penalty was issued at PPIR. He was penalized 20 points and fined $2000.”

Kawasaki’s Tony Meiring took his first career AMA National win in an exciting 20-lap Superstock final Sunday at Pikes Peak International Raceway.

Riding his factory 636cc ZX-6R, Meiring battled fiercely with Suzuki GSX-R750 riders Adam Fergusson and Josh Hayes and factory Yamaha YZF-R6 rider Jason DiSalvo for most of the race.

Meiring, 19, took the lead with two laps to go, survived one last tire slide in the final series of corners and held on to win by 0.273-second over Corona Extra Suzuki’s Fergusson and DiSalvo, who earned his first Superstock podium on his new 600cc machine. Attack Suzuki’s Hayes finished a close fourth.

Tommy Hayden came home fifth, and the class points leader coming into the race, Vincent Haskovec, struggled with traction to finish ninth.

The new point standings following the Pikes Peak race list Hayden leading Haskovec and Fergusson with the three riders separated by three points.
