A red flag came out with 2 minutes, 51 seconds left in the fast-group Supersport qualifying session at California Speedway Saturday afternoon, and officials declared the session to be over rather than restart it. The red flag caught several riders out before they put on new tires for their final run, including defending Supersport Champion Jamie Hacking, who was eighth fastest at 1:27.516 and Barber winner Josh Hayes, fourth at 1:27.384. Celtic Racing’s Chaz Davies went to the top early in the session, was knocked down the order several times but was back in first when the red flag fell. 2007 Pro Honda Oils AMA Supersport Championship Presented by Shoei Helmets California Speedway Fontana, California Saturday, April 28 Provisional Qualifying Results: 1.

Fastest of the Pirelli-shod was Ben Attard, setting the third quickest time on his Attack Kawasaki-prepared ZX-6R. Close behind was Geoff May at fifth fastest and his M4 EMGO Suzuki teammate Michael Barnes with the seventh fastest time, followed by Cory West on a Yamaha YZF-R6 in eighth and Attard’s teammate Steve Rapp in ninth. In afternoon qualifying, May placed his GSX-R600 in second place in the grid behind Chaz Davies, with Barnes earning a place on row two with the sixth-fastest time. Attard is on the grid next to Barnes, while Rapp and West are on row three for Sunday’s Supersport final in 11th and 12th, these riders all on Diablo Supercorsa DOT race tires. May was also fastest of the Pirelli riders in Superstock practice Saturday morning, setting the fourth-fastest time on his Suzuki GSX-R1000.

Taking the outside spot on row two is Columbian sensation Martin Cardenas on his Kawasaki ZX-10R, with Ulrich’s teammate Robertino Pietri setting the 11th fastest time, all making the most of Pirelli’s Diablo Superbike Slicks. Fastest of all riders in Formula Xtreme practice was Attack Kawasaki’s Steve Rapp, on his Daytona 200 winning ZX-6R, while his teammate Ben Attard was right behind him at second fastest, using the Diablo Superbike Slicks.

Despite their highly placed gird positions, front runners Ben Attard and Cory West were unable to finish due to mechanical entropy.
