The status of the racing surface of Infineon Raceway remains a question mark, but AMA Pro Racing has announced tentative plans for the rest of the Supercuts Superbike Challenge.

Kerry Graeber, AMA Pro Racing Vice President, Director of Communications, told Roadracingworld.com that the current priority for officials is drying the track, “which includes several spots of water running across the track.”

When the track is dry, says Graeber, practice will resume with the MBNA 250cc Grand Prix class followed by the first Superbike practice.

After those groups practice, AMA Pro Racing will attempt to run the first 28-lap Superbike race followed by the 17-lap Genuine Suzuki Accessories Superstock final.

If more, dry track time remains Saturday, it will be used for practice for the Supersport, Formula Xtreme, Superbike and 250cc Grand Prix classes.

“The reason we are trying to get races in today,” said Graeber, “is because the weather outlook for Sunday is now looking bad also.”

The tentative plan for Sunday would be practice in the morning followed by the final events for Supersport, 250cc Grand Prix, Formula Xtreme and Superbike.

Graeber said that AMA Pro Racing has given up hope of having any timed qualifying sessions for any class and would grid the final events based on current point standings, order of pre-entry followed by order of post-entry.
