Road America Qualifying-update

We have come to the beautiful state of Wisconsin to participate in the Subway Superbike Double-header at Road America.   The Team is a little short handed this weekend.  Chris Trounson still not cleared to ride after his concussion from last week and Jeremy Toye is off riding the Isle of Man.  That leaves Steve Rapp as our solo rider this weekend.  You would think that with 4 bikes and one rider we could avoid missing track time, but the first qualifying session was cut short by a defective clutch switch.  This would not allow the power-shifter function properly.  Steve rode hard and got a good time on the board.  Although, we tried several times to to fix it on the fly, it took a little more work.  Steve's time was good enough for 10th on the grid, but we have the bike in the Dyno truck now testing the switch.  We hope to have it ready for tomorrow morning's second qualifying session, so Steve can have a chance to improve on his grid position for tomorrow first race.
