Jimmy Moore Earns Pole For AMA Superstock Qualifying In Minnesota

Defending Champion Jimmy Moore qualified fastest for today’s AMA Superstock race at Brainerd International Raceway, which will be held later today.

Moore qualified in the session for even-numbered machines, running #86, instead of his assigned #1, despite rules requiring riders to qualify using their assigned number.

When Moore ran in the even-numbered session at Road America, he said he did so because riders in the session for odd-numbered machines were too slow.

Moore received special permission to run using #86 at Road America and at Brainerd from AMA Road Racing Manager Ron Barrick.

Provisional AMA Superstock Qualifying Results (all on Suzuki GSX-R750s unless noted):

1. Jimmy Moore, 1:40.677

In the post-qualifying press conference, Hayden said that track conditions were much worse than last year, with sealer coming up out of cracks in the racetrack.

“The track surface is crap,” said Hayden. “There’s all these sealer patches. The ones going this way (perpendicular to travel) aren’t so bad but it’s the ones you get on going this way (parallel to travel) that really upset the bike. Going into (turn) two there’s a couple of them. I never remembered it here before. And with it being so hot it’s so greasy across those things. I remember the sealer, but nothing like it is now. They had one (patch of sealant) coming up this morning.”

Reader Comments On Proposed AMA Rule Changes

From Tony Bell of Laguna Niguel, California:
“While reading the proposed AMA rule changes on the Roadracing World website I see no mention of prohibiting 600s in the Superstock class. I know this is within the rules but factory teams fielding top riders in a class that gives an opportunity for up and coming riders to show their skills, is not “playing the game” the way it should be played. Plus it takes money off the table that would help the riders who just missed out on a payday.

“With AMA moving to four classes only in 2003 and the hope that they can further increase spectator attendance: How do you tell a new spectator that the Superbike class is more prestigious than the Formula Xtreme class even though Formula Xtreme is a unlimited engine size and unlimited horsepower, to Joe Public this must be confusing.

“No such confusion in NASCAR–dead easy, Busch Cars, and Winston Cup cars, even a wanker in the UK can work out which is the ‘Super’ class.”

Jimmy Moore Earns Pole For AMA Superstock Qualifying In Minnesota

Copyright 2002, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

Defending Champion Jimmy Moore qualified fastest for today’s AMA Superstock race at Brainerd International Raceway, which will be held later today.

Moore qualified in the session for even-numbered machines, running #86, instead of his assigned #1, despite rules requiring riders to qualify using their assigned number.

When Moore ran in the even-numbered session at Road America, he said he did so because riders in the session for odd-numbered machines were too slow.

Moore received special permission to run using #86 at Road America and at Brainerd from AMA Road Racing Manager Ron Barrick.

In the post-qualifying press conference, Hayden said that track conditions were much worse than last year, with sealer coming up out of cracks in the racetrack.

“The track surface is crap,” said Hayden. “There’s all these sealer patches. The ones going this way (perpendicular to travel) aren’t so bad but it’s the ones you get on going this way (parallel to travel) that really upset the bike. Going into (turn) two there’s a couple of them. I never remembered it here before. And with it being so hot it’s so greasy across those things. I remember the sealer, but nothing like it is now. They had one (patch of sealant) coming up this morning.”

Reader Comments On Proposed AMA Rule Changes

From Tony Bell of Laguna Niguel, California:
“While reading the proposed AMA rule changes on the Roadracing World website I see no mention of prohibiting 600s in the Superstock class. I know this is within the rules but factory teams fielding top riders in a class that gives an opportunity for up and coming riders to show their skills, is not “playing the game” the way it should be played. Plus it takes money off the table that would help the riders who just missed out on a payday.

“With AMA moving to four classes only in 2003 and the hope that they can further increase spectator attendance: How do you tell a new spectator that the Superbike class is more prestigious than the Formula Xtreme class even though Formula Xtreme is a unlimited engine size and unlimited horsepower, to Joe Public this must be confusing.

“No such confusion in NASCAR–dead easy, Busch Cars, and Winston Cup cars, even a wanker in the UK can work out which is the ‘Super’ class.”
