Fish, 2:11.146 More, from a press release issued by Parts Unlimited Ducati: BOSTROM ON PROVISIONAL FRONT ROW IN UTAH Tooele (Utah) 16 June 2006: Parts Unlimited Ducati’s Ben Bostrom qualified on the provisional front row at Miller Motorsports Park. The Californian, mounted on a Ducati 999 Superbike, set his best mark of 1:50.403, which was good for fourth fastest in the afternoon session on the 3.048-mile (4.9-kilometer) circuit. Neil Hodgson was seventh fastest with a time of 1:51.315 in the premier AMA class. Bostrom, who was fastest at the test here in Utah earlier this season, was very competitive with the other riders on race tires at the new circuit. “The lap time seemed to come pretty easily after we got everything sorted out,” said Bostrom. “We stuck the hardest race tire Dunlop had for the whole session. We were looking to prepare for the race and it’s going to be a long 21 laps. It was good for us to get up on the front row, even if qualifying isn’t decided yet and there is still a session in the morning. I’m stoked to be on the front row but we still have a lot of work to do.” Neil Hodsgon followed three places later in the order. The Englishman set his quick lap on his 13th time around the circuit. “We had some issues today and weren’t really happy with the way the session went. It seemed the time really flashed by us and that the session lasted about five minutes,” said Neil, the former World Superbike champion. “We know what gearing we’ll use and we should be able to pull it together for the race. We have a direction to work in the morning. In qualifying, we’ll try to get as many laps as possible.” Tomorrow’s race, the inaugural AMA Superbike event at Miller Motorsports Park, begins at 3:50 local time. Qualifying times: 1.
