All Legal In Mid-Ohio 750cc Supersport Teardown

All three podium finishers in the 750cc Supersport race at Mid-Ohio were found legal after an extensive teardown. Mechanics for Jimmy Moore, Chris Ulrich and Ben Spies were ordered to produce the piston, connecting rod and all four valves for one cylinder of their GSX-R750 Suzukis. Mechanics took apart the bikes immediately after the early-afternoon 750cc Supersport race and AMA officials examined the parts following the Saturday Superbike race. The Mid-Ohio teardown marked the second consecutive major post-race examination of machines in the 750cc Supersport class. Two weeks ago, at Laguna Seca, machines ridden by winner Chris Ulrich, second-place Daigoro Suzuki and third-place Tony Meiring were ordered stripped to the bare frame, and officials placed the frames in a measuring jig. All three were found legal. The 750cc Supersport class seems to be drawing increased attention from tech officials in the last month.

Hacking Loses Appeal Of Road America Disqualification

Yoshimura Suzuki’s Jamie Hacking lost an appeal of his disqualification from an AMA Superbike race at Road America on the grounds that his crew took his crashed bike behind the pit wall to make repairs during a red flag. An appeal hearing was held on Thursday, July 19 at Mid-Ohio.

The rule was originally put in place when AMA rules did not allow riders to change bikes during a race red flag situation; the rule was intended to prevent riders from going back into the paddock to swap bikes.

But in a cruel bit of irony, AMA rules now allow riders to use a back-up bike, so Hacking, who did not have a back-up bike, was disqualified for breaking an obsolete rule.

The Appeal Board ruling points out problems with the AMA appeal process, which allows 3-man appeal boards appointed by AMA Pro Racing Director of Competition Merrill Vanderslice to hear a rider’s case and make a final ruling. The involved rider has no say in who is on the appeal board and cannot object to any member of the board, unlike jury rules in a normal courtroom.

Which makes it possible for appeals to be heard by “stacked” boards or by boards made up of people who do not understand the original intent and application of a given rule, and who instead decide appeals based purely on their literal interpretation of the rule in question.

Moore Takes Pole And Lap Record In 750cc Supersport Qualifying At Mid-Ohio

Corona Extra EBSCO Suzuki’s Jimmy Moore used a soft, Dunlop race tire to claim the pole position for Saturday’s Genuine Suzuki Accessories 750cc Supersport final at Mid-Ohio, despite having limited practice time Friday. Moore was limited to 40 minutes during Friday afternoon’s Superbike qualifying session to set up his GSX-R750 due to his Thursday practice rule violation. However, Moore was still able to record a best time of 1:31.179 to eclipse the two-year-old 750cc class record set by Tommy Hayden on a Yamaha YZF-R6, who went on the win the 750cc Supersport race at Mid-0hio in 1999.

Moore came in and changed to a fresh, soft Dunlop late in the session, immediately before setting pole time. Ulrich, who was in the same qualifying session, stayed out for the duration on a Metzeler race tire of the same compound and construction he’ll run in Saturday’s race.

All Legal In Mid-Ohio 750cc Supersport Teardown

All three podium finishers in the 750cc Supersport race at Mid-Ohio were found legal after an extensive teardown. Mechanics for Jimmy Moore, Chris Ulrich and Ben Spies were ordered to produce the piston, connecting rod and all four valves for one cylinder of their GSX-R750 Suzukis. Mechanics took apart the bikes immediately after the early-afternoon 750cc Supersport race and AMA officials examined the parts following the Saturday Superbike race. The Mid-Ohio teardown marked the second consecutive major post-race examination of machines in the 750cc Supersport class. Two weeks ago, at Laguna Seca, machines ridden by winner Chris Ulrich, second-place Daigoro Suzuki and third-place Tony Meiring were ordered stripped to the bare frame, and officials placed the frames in a measuring jig. All three were found legal. The 750cc Supersport class seems to be drawing increased attention from tech officials in the last month.
