Superbike Qualifying: EpilogueOkay, we're back. Sixteen minutes remaining.
Picotte steps up to fourth fastest and looks to have shaken off some of his cold. He pulls a 1:37.998 out of the VR. Former VR-man Chris Carr is here today and will be in action at the dirt track tonight. "Where I can make some money," he says.
Top ten, with ten minutes to go right now Mladin, Ben, Eric, Picotte, Pridmore, Gobert, Chandler, Tommy (too little too late) Hayden, and Richie Oliver.
Chandler goes 1:36.619, just a click off to beat Mladin's Friday time.
Vance and Hines bikes all went out at the same time and all with qualifiers. This should prove interesting. Gobert is now in eighth position.
With less than five minutes remaining Eric Bostrom go fastest with a 1:36.667, then Jason goes fastest with a 1:36.496. then Eric Bostrom, then Doug, then Mladin and Gobert.
Three minutes remaining. Pridmore seems to have VHRD covered today but Gobert seems to be building. He's fifth fastest but has about a half-second to go to get on the front row.
One minutes left, Pridmore's time seems solid. No! Mladin goes fastest with a 1:36.3!! Unreal! Mladin was all over the track on that run but it may net him another pole.
Final Qualifying. This looks like the grid:
Mladin, Pridmore, Eric Bostrom, Chandler, Gobert, Ben Bostrom, Stevens, Crevier, Smith and Oliver.Chandler's fast lap from last season was a 1:37.00
