“The lap felt comfortable and we had a fairly heavy fuel load,” DiSalvo said. “I rode both Team Latus Ducatis this morning, but it was on the 2011 model that we qualified today.”

Youngster Benny Solis, riding the No. 35 Red Bull/RoadRacingWorld.com Honda CBR600RR, continued his recent run of success with a provisional pole run in the AMA Pro Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport class, lapping at 1:58.384/93.053mph. In the Vance & Hines XR1200 class, Michael Barnes was the class of the field on his No. 34 Drag Specialties/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson XR1200.
