After turning consistent 1:43 lap times, Marc Palazzo turned a 1:40 and jumped from 13th to 3rd in the qualifying order. When asked by a reporter if he cut the course during the session, Palazzo denied that he cut the course. When F-USA officials (with a printout of all of Palazzo’s lap times in hand) pointed out to Palazzo that his 1:40 was an “out lap” following a pit stop and impossible to do from a standing start, Palazzo did not object to F-USA disallowing the time.

Tray Batey crashed in turn one during the qualifying session and suffered abrasions to his right knee and hand. Batey’s crashed Aprilia completed its dyno run despite a broken right clip-on.

F-USA Unlimited Superbike point leader Craig Connell made four laps in qualifying with a best time of 1:49.016, good for 27th on the 33-rider grid. Connell has a total of seven laps at Pocono between his two Ducatis.

Ken Chase and White Tip Racing have parted ways, and Chase will not be racing at Pocono on Sunday. White Tip owner Michael Cox said the breakup was over personality differences.

Scott Greenwood, Paul Harrell, and Michael Barnes crashed during the session. Barnes destroyed his GSX-R600 in a highside crash in turn five after his one and only flying lap. Barnes thinks that he may have broken bones in his left hand/wrist but continued riding in his two other classes, Unlimited Superbike and Buell Lightning. Even though Barnes’ bike had a broken frame, bent forks, leaking radiator, bent wheels, and a broken exhaust pipe, it passed its dyno test.

Davis is survived by his wife, Rhonda, and his son, Cole.

19. Greg Leffler, Suzuki GSX-R750, 1:44.289
20. Mark Ledesma, Aprilia RSV1000R, 1:44.493

After turning consistent 1:43 lap times, Marc Palazzo turned a 1:40 and jumped from 13th to 3rd in the qualifying order. When asked by a reporter if he cut the course during the session, Palazzo denied that he cut the course. When F-USA officials (with a printout of all of Palazzo’s lap times in hand) pointed out to Palazzo that his 1:40 was an “out lap” following a pit stop and impossible to do from a standing start, Palazzo did not object to F-USA disallowing the time.

Tray Batey crashed in turn one during the qualifying session and suffered abrasions to his right knee and hand. Batey’s crashed Aprilia completed its dyno run despite a broken right clip-on.

F-USA Unlimited Superbike point leader Craig Connell made four laps in qualifying with a best time of 1:49.016, good for 27th on the 33-rider grid. Connell has a total of seven laps at Pocono between his two Ducatis.

Ken Chase and White Tip Racing have parted ways, and Chase will not be racing at Pocono on Sunday. White Tip owner Michael Cox said the breakup was over personality differences.

Final Pro Sportbike Qualifying Results:
1. Lee Acree, Suzuki GSX-R600, 1:41.549 (New Record)

14. Roland Williams, Suzuki GSX-R600, 1:44.692

Scott Greenwood, Paul Harrell, and Michael Barnes crashed during the session. Barnes destroyed his GSX-R600 in a highside crash in turn five after his one and only flying lap. Barnes thinks that he may have broken bones in his left hand/wrist but continued riding in his two other classes, Unlimited Superbike and Buell Lightning. Even though Barnes’ bike had a broken frame, bent forks, leaking radiator, bent wheels, and a broken exhaust pipe, it passed its dyno test.
