Attack Suzuki’s Tom Kipp rode with a broken left foot and a Dunlop qualifying tire to lower Nicky Hayden’s 2000 Formula Xtreme lap record from 1:29.710 to a stunning 1:28.061. Kipp’s time would have put him fifth-fastest among Friday’s Superbike qualifiers.
The top three Formula Xtreme qualifiers were all under Roberts’ mark.
