Interesting times. No one seems to be in a huge rush, just at the moment.
As a yardstick, the Oz Superbikes went out at 4pm and Wayne Maxwell was fastest on the Motologic Honda. His time would have put him sixth fastest in the WSBK session. All the Aussie bikes are on Dunlops, which are sturdy but not outrageously fast, and the local bikes are not in the same spec of either a WSBK bike, or even an AMA racer. They are a cross between a Superbike and a Superstock.
A buddy of mine, who is a professional photographer, is in the air and on his way south to the Island. If he lets me, I will post some pics Saturday.
The grid is gonna look way, way different to what we saw today...
